I really hope Sam & crew do make a new show based on Crowd Control. That episode was really fun!

Also, I’d love to see Gianmarco on a “regular” (what’s that? 🤣) episode of Game Changer or Make Some Noise!

I think I’m finally gonna make good on my promise and spend the afternoon copying over a bunch of homebrew stuff to post this afternoon!

I’ve always loved math. It came easy to me and I loved learning and solving problems.

I was even on the Math Olympiads in Middle School.

In Junior year I was in College Prep Pre-Calculus and it clicked with me so well that I’d read ahead in the book and do the problems we haven’t even been assigned yet.

One day the teacher was explaining a new chapter. I honestly don’t remember what it was about, but I remember already reading it and understanding it.

But she ended up explaining it wrong. I tried telling her she was wrong but she wouldn’t believe me. So she continued teaching the class something incorrect.

I think it was the next day or week that she finally realized she fucked up and asked me to come to the front and explain the right way to everyone. So I did.

After that, we’d have group tests but I was always by myself so I could finish before them and then go help anyone who needs it.

I kinda felt stifled in College Prep so I switched to an Honors Pre-Calc class to be challenged more.

That College Prep class made me want to be a teacher. So I originally started college to go for Music teaching, then changed to Math.

Over the years I ended up taking Calc 1, 2, Multivariable Calc, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and maybe one or two others I’m forgetting.

And I also took a Philosphy: Logic class and Computer Programming and realized it’s all just math. Everything. Including music and art. And having all those different classes together helped, because I could use what I learned from math to help me figure out and understand the others better.

Anyway, I ended up dropping out, because of mental health, a semester before getting my Associate’s Degree in Math.

I haven’t been to school since 2009 and I barely remember any of the shit I learned. But, I still love it.

I love budgeting and Sudoku and just working with numbers, working on problems.

I didn't wanna derail the other post but I still wanna spread some love for my favourite subject...

Reblog if you've ever felt genuine joy or excitement from doing and/or thinking about math

Hey Omegaverse!

Female ferrets have an oestrus/heat every summer and die from anemia if they don’t have sex. Male ferrets have a hooked penis and will bite the back of the female ferret’s neck.

So if you’re looking for a new take on O-verse, I present to you: FERRETS

paisley is a (cis) gay man right? why is he going so hard on this? has he somehow avoided being told to be inclusive of vagina in his sexuality? honestly confused here. I don't know why on earth he would kick up such a fuss for no reason, but it's also such a wild reaction to a ribbon it's hard to believe he's genuinely fearing for his safety.

UK — Airdrie, Scotland. A 50-year-old mother-of-two has been charged with a hate crime after an extremist transgender advocate reported her to police for retweeting a photograph of a green, white and violet women’s suffrage ribbon. Police Scotland confirmed that Marion Millar, an accountant, business owner and gender-critical feminist campaigner, was arrested. Ms Millar, who has since been released on bail, is accused of posting six tweets in 2019 that run afoul of the Communications Act 2003.

The women’s suffrage ribbon, which was tied to a chain-link fence in front of a tree outside the Glasgow studio where a BBC soap opera is shot, appears to be a central focus of the police investigation.

Women seeking suffrage in the UK used green, white and violet to stand for “Give Women the Vote,” and to represent royalty, freedom, purity and hope.

The complaint is rumored to have been filed by David Paisley, an aged 42, heavily muscled, tattooed actor who stars as Rory Murdoch on the Glasgow soap River City. There is no official confirmation that Mr Paisley filed the complaint. The complainant purportedly told police that the bow of ribbons shared by Ms Millar represented a hangman’s noose, putting the complainant in fear of his life as a transgender advocate who is also a gay man. The C-list entertainer tweeted that he has fled his home and is in hiding. He claimed that police have “put my home on rapid response,” and that he is in contact with a local victims and psychological support team.

Last year, Mr Paisley, a high-profile trans advocate, insisted that men who obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) have the right to perform medical examinations on female rape victims who request a female forensic team, because GRC holders have “change[d] their legal sex so it aligns with their gender.” Ms Millar may be sentenced to up to six months in prison if convicted on the hate crime charges.

To honor Ms Millar, artist Birdy Rose illustrated a graphic of a woman shouting defiantly while holding up green, white and purple women’s suffrage ribbons to the sky. The words “Woman: Adult Human Female” are written on the ribbons, and a banner with the words “Women Won’t Wheesht” graces the bottom of the illustration.

Transgender-identifying extremist Joss Prior posted an altered version of the artist’s illustration, in which the fist holding up the ribbon has been modified to an outstretched hand, making it appear that the woman is doing a Nazi salute. “They’re not even subtle about the Nazi symbolism any more [sic],” Mr Prior wrote in the tweet accompanying the altered illustration.

The artist said she is “absolutely fuming” about the altered graphic.

Mr Prior had posted a YouTube video in February titled, “Trans woman in womens [sic] spaces.” The video shows the transgender advocate dancing in a women’s restroom to mock women’s concerns about sharing sex-specific facilities with male individuals: “I was waiting for the toilet and had a dance to show the nefarious interests trans women have for using the womens [sic] toilets,” the video description reads. After her arrest, Ms Millar briefly locked down her Twitter account, a measure she said was to stave off continued abuse. She has since made the account publicly visible again. Following complaints from transgender activists, a GoFundMe campaign created to raise funding to cover Ms Millar’s legal expenses was shut down and all donations refunded to Ms Millar’s supporters. The campaign had raised £14k in 3 hours.

“They have taken down my page pic.twitter.com/2ejCZXaxr3 — 'MarionMillar' #WomenWontWheesht (@millar_marion) June 5, 2021

Ms Millar later began accepting donations through Paypal, but the account was locked for suspicious activity, presumably because the account was mass-reported.

& Co, a criminal defense law firm, will organize a crowdfunding for Ms Millar’s legal expenses “in coming weeks,” she announced in a tweet yesterday. “The past few weeks have been a nightmare for Marion and her family and it seems there is no end in sight,” a For Women Scotland spokeswoman said. “Sadly, in Scotland, it seems both free speech and women’s rights are under attack.”

On Thursday, Ms Millar was subjected to a two-hour interview with law enforcement at a Coatbridge police station. Her supporters held placards and wore shirts with the slogan, “Women won’t wheesht” (‘wheesht’ is Scottish venacular meaning ‘shut up’, ‘be quiet’ or ‘hush’), and tied violet, green and white ribbons to nearby posts. Some wore fake mustaches. Many are showing support of Ms Millar on social media under the hashtag #WomenWontWheesht, and using an image of women’s suffrage ribbons for an avatar or primary profile picture. Ms Millar is expected to appear at Glasgow sheriff court next month.

She is not the first person in the UK to face legal prosecution for displaying defiance to gender identity ideology on social media. Katie Scottow of Hertfordshire, England was convicted of the offense of Persistently Making Use Of A Public Communications Network To Cause Annoyance, Inconvenience, And Anxiety following 2018 tweets in which she used male pronouns to refer to transgender-identifying advocate Stephanie Hayden, and called the advocate a “pig in a wig.” Ms Scottow was fined £1,000 and handed a two-year conditional discharge. She successfully appealed the conviction in December.

The “dude” who wants to let males examine rape victims is offended by a ribbon. Something that if a woman (who hasn’t been trying to escape being a woman) did she would be called a Karen.

I hope the second dude peaks a lot of Scottish women.

The Stand-Up episode of Game Changer was so freaking good. 4 for 4 this season with the banger episodes!

The contestants and audience were all great. I loved all the cutaways to Sam guffawing animatedly.

I wish the episode was longer!

I’m so glad Gianmarco won! He’s def my favorite stand-up at the moment.

Now he needs to get on Smosh, next!

My 62 year old neighbor just came to my door to talk to me. She told me she was trans a while ago in passing but we never really talked and she looks like a man so I thought she was maybe a trans man. But she came over to tell me that she’s trans and she envies me and said she’s too old for surgeries and whatever. I told her I came out at 30 and I’m 39 now and getting bottom surgery soon and it’s never too late. She gave me her number and said if I need a friend she’s there and that she really needs a friend right now. And we chatted for a couple minutes and then she tried to bump fists and I asked if she’d like a hug and she started crying and said yes and I gave her a long tight hug and she cried on my shoulder and she apologized and I told her she has nothing to apologize for and I said “happy pride” and she cried a bit harder and said “oh it is pride!”

That was such a lovely interaction and my heart is melting right now.

Devon and Ricken seem soooo different, it’s crazy that they’re together. But I love them dearly.

I just finished binging both seasons of Severance and I’m now rewatching with the Severance podcast. Trying to catch all the things I missed on the first watch.

I’m really hoping they bring up Dollhouse at some point during the podcast. I am actually really curious if they hired Dichen Lachman because they loved her role as Sierra in Dollhouse. Sierra and Gemma are basically the same character.

I’m gonna try using tumblr to talk about my fandoms again, ‘cause I have no one in my personal life to talk about it with.

[hawkingbishop]

I’m so far behind on Critical Role.

I wanna catch up but it’s so fucking daunting and time consuming.

I think I’m on C3E98 or 99? I know there’s only like 6 new eps after that but that’s still A LOT.

I kinda wish they had a similar format to Dimension 20.

I really wanna catch up but I don’t know when I’ll have the energy to. 😅

I think I saw some spoilers so I’m listening to my Imodna fanmix.

I know it’s over 3 hours long. 😅

And I made it with the intention of people listening in track order (like most of my mixes).

I think I’m gonna maybe crunch it down to maybe an hour at most and repost it.

No spoilers, please.

[hawkingbishop]

I absolutely love how gay My Adventures With Superman is.

Happy Pride Month!

[hawkingbishop]

I HATE my jealousy.

I hate being the one not picked. Even in a friend way.

I fucking hate my BPD. Just let me feel normally FOR ONCE PLEASE.

[hawkingbishop]

I just want the BPD gone. I don’t want these intense feelings all the time, the obsessions.

I want to stop thinking about them. I want to stop thinking.

[hawkingbishop]

I miss being/feeling loved, wanted, needed. I fuck things up every time and always lose it.

I want to rip the loneliness and touchstarvation out of me; the constant need for attention/affection.

I hate the emptiness. I’m never going to fill it. I will always be lacking.

[hawkingbishop]

I hate being so broken and alone.

I miss having friends. I miss having relationships. I miss having hookups.

Now I basically have only 1 friend and that’s it. No matches on dating apps. No meeting anyone in person. No nothing.

Nobody wants me. Over and over again that’s what I’m told. I wanna believe it’s untrue, but it’s really hard.
