#really large numbers
Note
So I was just rereading Dark Mirror and it just amused me that you mention 512 terabyte isolinear chips and we're really not far off that now in hard drive sizes... I just bought an 8 terabyte external for less than 200 bucks.
Life imitating art? Or is Geordi La Forge secretly working in Silicon Valley?
(snicker) Another reminder that it's wiser to make up measurements instead of assuming a Really Big Metric One you invent will be big enough to last until the work goes safely out of print. (As you see, I've already embarrassed myself this way once in a Trek novel. A harsh lesson...)
...But have I learned my lesson? Hmm. I mean, look at this, which goes back to 2009 or so. By quoting a storage size in yottabytes, I just skated by. And I think I may be safe with that for a while longer. But how much longer? Hard to say...
#measurement systems#really large numbers#theoretically#anyway I really need to redo that graphic for the iPad#Star Trek meta#Young Wizards meta

The number of white, ostensibly liberal male political pundits insisting that elections in the Biden/post-Dobbs era are just Completely Unpredictable and Wild sure is something, huh.
#hilary for ts#politics for ts#here let me clear it up for you: women like bodily autonomy#they will vote for it and associates candidates and measures in large numbers#if your only exposure to political realities is through politico the nyt and the aforementioned polls#and you confidently predict a Red Wave every time#which ~somehow fails~ to materialize#then sure it’s baffling i guess#otherwise really not so much

Haven't found this here yet, so I wanted to share it with some links for education.
Found it from-
Twitter post by OmarSShakir
IG Post by visualizing_palestine
Created by-
AAANY (Arab American Association of New York)
Gaza Is Palestine
#2023#Important#Palestine#Gaza#free palestine#this is genocide#*EDIT it is now November 20 so these numbers are sadly small in comparison to the actual losses#*Please don't stop talking about Gaza and Palestine! They are being forcibly removed from their homes#*Or just brutally attacked and murdered when not removed#*and I say 'removed' but it's really the only word I can think of besides 'fucking bombed and harassed and terrorized into fleeing'#*BUT don't stop talking about them! Israel is commiting genocide and the world powers are ALLOWING it#*This has been going on for 75 years! It must end now!#*Also keep doing your own research - DO NOT rely on western media or even large organizations for both sides#*This is a genocide built on greed and racism and Israel has lots of money and political ties to buy their 'truth' to be published

#do you guys ever think about how yosuke is always the one that proposes their outings#yu is the catalyst that brings them together but yosuke is the glue that helps hold them there#thinking about his shadow's comment about how yosuke needs to surround himself with as many people as possible to stave off the loneliness#and to a large extent it kind of still holds true here (and theres nothing wrong with that!) and not only does yu know that#yu doesnt judge him or tease him for it. and like for all the things that yu (or anybody else) teases him about#THAT is not it#Yukiko calls him well connected and friendly aaaaah i cannot get that out of my head ever#and it's also in how his proposals are received by the others - everyone else is always genuinely excited to participate in it#like the motorcycle license and the beach holiday is all your friends can talk about for the days after that#i think its one of those things that imo really add to that... very organic friendship dynamic that the IT have compared to the SEES#or even the PT to some extent#(listen i love the PT dont get me wrong but the IT just have a Something to them) (and i think a lot of it is driven by Yosuke)#his friends rib and tease him because hes so bullyable but they are always always so willing to jump in when he suggests something aaaaaah#and he knows this!! he may not have realised it at first but he does eventually!!!#yosuke truly my beloved my absolute number one love

What does kin mean?
The meaning can tend to vary depending on who you ask, but it generally means (TLDR:) identifying with a character in some way. Although it originated from the term "otherkin", which means identifying with an animal/another species, the way it's typically used in this context refers to "fictionkin".
Many people use it to describe simply relating strongly to a character and don't really see themselves as the character in any way, but it was originally used to describe identifying as the character in a spiritual/psychological way. To clarify, it doesn't mean that you think you literally are that character right now, in a physical way etc. It's more of an identity thing. (I could go more in-depth on what that means, but I'm going to assume that's more information than you're looking for.)
It's kind of a Tumblr/internet culture thing, but I'm not very involved in the community or anything because it's more of a personal thing for me specifically, so. I really don't feel like the best person to ask if you have any more questions. I apologize if that's too much information for such a simple question; I guess it's a bit complicated to explain.
#ask#anon#anonymous#i feel embarrassed dumping all this information here out of the blue like i know more than i should.#especially with this being the kind of thing a large number of people find weird or 'cringe'. but whatever.#like i said it's more of a personal thing to me so i don't ever post about it and probably won't in the future unless asked about it.#which i am not opposed to because AS YOU CAN SEE I really like going on and on about things.#it's taking all my restraint not to type up every single piece of irrelevant information i have on this topic right now.#please please please don't send me mean asks or anything related to discourse or whatever after this. I'm just a little guy.

Kiiinda unhappy w the fact that a mutual made a post essentially saying “if you support / interact with this proship neutral dont interact with me + DONT harass the account i mentioned” and then immediately got condescending/manipulative replies, asks, and Extreme dogpiling by the accounts friends/affiliates to the point of having to leave their account.
Personally I think if you can’t handle other people saying what you are, you maaybe should rethink identifying with that label.
#miscellaneous post#i dunno. proship people have this tendency to say their proship and then#get VERY MAD when antis say ‘’that person is proship dni with me if u support them’’#we’re all pro safe spaces until… someone ensures their safe space ?#idk just confusing#its also really gross to see such a large number of harrassment heading their way when the og post clearly#stated not to attack the proship account? like ok … but the antis are the bad guys. right#IDK GUYS. im not very happy with the community rottmnt has established#on twt it was miserable and on tumblr it seems equally as miserable if you dont pick the path of least resistance#SANDRO WOULD BE UNHAPPY WITH THEM PEOPLE IS ALL IM SAYIN 🫵#the mutual wasnt even a big account ???

A little attempt at research into queer history...
Put the year or rough time you first heard it in the tags!
If you heard it before the year 2010 please reply, reblog, or DM me directly to say when!
If you have sources of the word in print or online that can be definitively dated to earlier than or around 2010, please share!
#i know that getting polls to reach large numbers of people is a real roll of the dice#but i might as well try lmao#the early history of the word non binary seems to be a hole in our collective knowledge?#at the very least i can't find any info on it#not knowing really irks me!#queer history#lgbtq history#non binary#transgender#lgbtq#trans history

#okay i'll break:#do i just have the most exquisitely curated internet experience ever or#is there actually any merit to people saying they're seeing a lot of hate for ep3 on here and twitter??? i do not see it#all i can think of is seeing a few people unhappy/quibbling w various aspects which is simply expressing valid opinion--and that's not hate#or people poking fun at this that or the other. but it's not generally based in hate. it's just interaction with beloved media#i'm not saying the angry aren't out there. but i just. they're in the vanishing minority by my (possibly lucky) experience??#do the haters just have the loudest voices despite their smaller numbers. or do they really have just large numbers and i don't see it#i only ask bc it gives me an ulcer that amc would get this impression based on social media#when gdi this is our beloved show and as far as i can tell we're having a damn good time#iwtv#iwtv spoilers#PS slightly separate issue:#are people out there *genuinely* shitting on louis for the end-of-episode choices or only simply throwing shade?#again: i'm not seeing the hate on my dash. only references to it#bc if it's hate wtf lol holy shit just let the man live!#idk his motivations rn but the man is .005 seconds from a real psychotic break (i'm not going to diagnose him maybe he's#having them already idk) let it play out lol#but if people are throwing shade eh he can withstand it he is our cherished gothic hero forever. not unassailable but always beloved#god maybe i'm being pollyanna lmk#shoving this all in the tags bc i hate drama and don't want it; idk how else to put this out there for thoughtful answers

Now I get to research dances and music and what sort of filthy things high society people got up to in the 18th century.
Writing is fun, isn't it?
#we're going to ignore that I have no idea where the hell they are right now or that there's a war that should be going on#it's really not important#mostly because wars did not stop aristocrats from being drunk and gross in large numbers#writing rambles

the fact that the us government can continue funding and arming a genocide despite massive public opposition really highlights how inherently non-democratic the united states is
#almost like the idea of a representative demcracy is both historically undemocratic and inherently is incapable of being so#by historically i mean that representative democracies have always meant the creation of a category of ‘citizen’ that is above ‘non-citizen#even the civilization where the term democracy comes from was patriarchal and had fucking slavery#not chattel slavery but (hot take) non chattel slavery is still bad.#also fundamentally one person can literally not represent the wishes of a large collection of people who have only geography in common.#theyre going to want different things!!!#now the idea of if democracy is inherently a virtue is like. another topic. but i will say that like seeing the history of like the#popular sovreignty movement wrt to slavery really made me question it. just because a lot of people want something to happen doesnt#actually mean it should happen. white people voted to legalize slavery#kind of where the old ‘minority’ terminology comes in. just by numbers alone in the states that had these votes it wasnt like in the south#where in the south because of plantations the actual population majority in some places was black.#but in those midwestern new states even if everyone person there could have voted. white people would still be the vasy majority.#honestly to a degree pointing out that none of the societies that have claimed to be democracies have truly been democratic is…#i guess the primary value in it is to challenge people who take state mythologies at face level#a very large population that i often forget exists.#the ‘they cant do that its illegal’ types.#anyways. if we consider that every society in documented history has had some type of violence and oppression#and if we believe that people are NOT inherently selfish/violent#it follows that what we need to do is something different than what we have been doing.#not just different from what we are doing right now. but different from what we have been doing for the past centuries#but also i can imagine that societies and ways of living that aren’t legible to the status quo or just went undocumented for other reasons#may have been more egalitarian. and we dont know due to erasure (either intentional or non-intentional)#both erasure and a fundamental inability of historians to comprehend it. similar to how cishet historians who cant fathom the idea of#transness or lesbianism talk about things.
