#multiplication tables

The first mathematical pattern I made, a multiplication table. Converting it to an odd/even representation created some cool effects with the circles.

Multiplication Tables Sung by Billy Leach

I finally managed to track down a digital version of the records my Grade 4 teacher used to teach us the multiplication tables. In the version of the memory that plays in my head everything was sung instead of spoken, but I know this is the right one because I remember the little rhymes that came before each table.

Obviously, the Schoolhouse Rock multiplication songs have more musical merit, but these bare-bones babies got the job done. Mrs. Slater would play them whenever she needed to keep us occupied for a while. It came on a set of 45′s that were already old back then, and the record with the fives table had a scratch on it. So, you’d hear “Five time twelve is sixty!” over and over until somebody got up and fixed it.

So I was super discouraged about piano last semester, latin was too hard and classical trains you to play what's on the page so techniques being here is a concept be able to play it in any scale is super over my head

I got the scales, and mostly chords (augmented and diminished chords are still slowing me down) i can do the finger movement based units, but I still have to translate jazz to classical in my head to figure out what I'm doing and then write it out a few times.

But when i sit down to play guides when i practice vocals i barely look at the keys, or I have chords I'm picking up playing those, I've even been able to do fills on songs I'm familiar with.

So it's been super validating to have Dom, who teaches piano and is a piano major tell me that no its difficult to sight read the piano charts we get from jeff. like fucking blessing to know I'm not insane and stupid. we were talking today about how its so hard to really get what he wants bc he puts so many add9s and sus chords and then he'll get mad you played the root, like sorry i only recognize the root gimme time to google these chords and pencil them in.

we were laughing bc dom said he has to practice with the original songs but jeff twists everything a little and i was like I record every latin rehearsal to practice with

actually my strange obsession with the number 7 in 3rd and 4th grade was tremendously helpful for learning my multiplication tables

Also tell me why

[dootznbootz]

Odysseus always trusted Penelope. He was ordered to lie to her and it hurt him to do so. Penelope was distrustful of this stranger until she had absolute solid proof.

There are way too many people talking about how "Odysseus lies to Penelope. What a prick!" and it makes me sad/mad as that's not the case at all

The whole "Odysseus usually always has a reason to lie" maybe upcoming essay aside, He was literally commanded by Athena to not tell anyone. And it was with Penelope that he had the hardest time keeping up the act with. Not only because she's smart af and figured him out almost immediately (that essay coming soon too) but because he was trying to keep himself from crying with her.

I think people forget that he is disguised to look like someone else completely. If a random man claimed to be your missing husband, wouldn't you be scared/freaked out?

Anyways, the 3 most important people in his life are Penelope, Telemachus, and Laertes. He lies to all three.

Telemachus: Lied by letting Eumaeus answer him and still under the orders from Athena, did not cry or reveal himself until Athena allowed him to. (I read it as him being in shock. Last time he saw him, Telemachus' hand could only wrap around one finger and now he's as big as him. a bit shocking to say the least)

Laertes: He teared up seeing him but still decided to question and test his father, not by the order from Athena.

Penelope: He was trying so hard to keep from crying, tried to noodle his way out of lying to her, Under Athena's orders. still couldn't help but basically flirt with her.

Also to get this outta the way: No, it wasn't a matter of trust. He is shown to trust her right away. As this happens even before he gets the chance to speak with Penelope.

Staunch Odysseus glowed with joy to hear all this— his wife's trickery luring gifts from her suitors now, enchanting their hearts with suave seductive words but all the while with something else in mind.

(Book 18, Fagles)

If Odysseus does not trust her, why is he so happy to see her "flirt" with the suitors? It's because he KNOWS what she's doing and knows she doesn't actually want them. If he didn't trust her, he would be upset by this.

Now for the "it hurt to lie to her" bit.

Athena's command:

"Tell not a single person in the palace, man or woman, that you are back from your wanderings; but endure all vexations in silence and submit yourself to the indignities that will be put upon you.'

(Book 13, Rieu)

If you are my son—truly of our blood—                                            let no one hear Odysseus is back home. Don’t let Laertes know or the swineherd, or the slaves, or Penelope herself.

(Book 16, Johnston)

And the people he did reveal himself to, he only did so after being given permission by Athena.

Athene spoke to him. 'The time has come,' she said, 'royal son of Laertes, Odysseus of the nimble wits, to let Telemachus into your secret, so that the pair of you may plot the downfall and death of the Suitors and then make your way to the famous city. [...]

(Book 15, Rieu)

He talks to Telemachus before talking to Penelope.

I’ll stay here, so I can stir the servants even more— and your mother. As she laments, she’ll ask for each and every detail.”

(Book 19, Johnston)

Odysseus is already sweating about having to lie to her

The next part would honestly be me just inserting almost ALL the text for this so I'll go into a summary. It's all in Book 19.

Penelope asks him where he's from. And instead of answering, it's a tsunami of compliments. Calling her flawless. Comparing her to a king. etc, etc,

Probably because he couldn't help himself and had to babble about how wonderful she is Who wouldn't? before finally ending with "Please don't ask me where I'm from. It makes me sad."

Penelope, probably overwhelmed by his praise, immediately goes into how "her beauty left with her husband. It did not. And where did you say you were from again?"

"Fine! I'm from Crete..."

And we all know that as soon as she starts crying, after a lovely description of how her tears "melted", he talks about how hard it was for Odysseus to hold in his OWN tears. Lying to her and being unable to comfort her was painful for him!!!

But though Odysseus' heart was wrung by his wife's distress, his eyes, hard as horn or iron, never wavered between their lids, so craftily did he repress his tears.

(Book 19, Rieu)

Even with him revealing himself to Euryclea, when she cried out to Penelope, Athena made sure she didn't hear! It's most likely that he wouldn't be able to tell her even if he wanted.

She spoke, and her eyes glanced over at Penelope, anxious to tell her that her husband had come home. But Penelope could not see her face or notice, for Athena had diverted her attention.

(Book 19, Johnston)

He desperately wanted to be with her again. Literally daydreaming about it!

At those words Dawn rose on her golden throne in a sudden gleam of light. And great Odysseus caught the sound of his wife’s cry and began to daydream—deep in his heart it seemed she stood beside him, knew him, now, at last …

(book 20, Fagles)

Clearly doesn't trust her. /sarcasm

It's PENELOPE that has trouble trusting him. And rightfully so! While she was very certain that was her husband, there was so much going on and of course, she's cautious! He looked like an elderly stranger at first, why is he hiding from her? He somehow took out all those men with only a little help, Athena isn't telling her anything, Helen was kidnapped and she did not want that to possibly happen to her too, etc.

He even understands her cautiousness to be reasonable.

As she spoke, lord Odysseus, who had borne so much, smiled and immediately spoke to Telemachus— his words had wings:   “Telemachus, let your mother test me in these halls. She will soon possess more certain knowledge. Right now I’m filthy, with disgusting clothing on my body. That’s why she rejects me and will not say I am Odysseus. [...]

(Book 23, Johnston)

He even trusted her completely to take care of everything while he was gone before. And he does again when he wakes up and goes to see his father. Telling her about how she too wise to need instruction

Odysseus (and Penelope as well) is well-known for his cunning tricks and how his loyalties are often blurred but one thing that is for sure about him is that he trusts and is loyal to Penelope full-heartedly. He spent every day missing her and their son and wanting to go home to her. The only moment we see his trust in her waver is during the Treebed scene, (which is what she wanted to test).

They are "like-minded". 😭

EXCUSE ME fuck all of the others, the biggest plot discrepancy in all of BBC Merlin is the fact that the Knights of the Round Table, the Bestest Bros, literally the Merlin protection squad, just locked him up without a trial or question at all for arthurs poisoning in s5e7. ARTHUR. everyone knows they're in love.

idgaf abt anything else, this is without a doubt the biggest plot hole I've seen anywhere at any point in time.

more than anything in this world I love wandering through museums and taking pictures of things to research later. like oh, interesting concept, what if I spent an hour reading about that when I am in my pajamas in bed and it can really blow my mind.

[angst-is-love-angst-is-life]

See I already knew this, but when you look at pics it’s a whole different story

THE PIPELINE CELLS ARE FUCKING S M A L L

[junewild]

okay but do you understand? tula is dead. she’s been dead since the minute her husband died. like the bear, she’s a walking corpse, held together by strings and forces beyond her control. she is alive for her children. she has to be. she has no choice. she would not choose differently. but a scaffold is also a prison, if you look out instead of in.
