If I made the rules, mathematicians would be obligated to wear wizard cloaks. Or robes or hats. Not like, legally or anything, just in a social obligation "it would be kinda weird if you didn't, because that's just what they do" kind of way

complex analysis truly is dark magic of all mathematics. i think ive actually had more wtf how does this even WORK moments studying it than any other subject so far. residue theorem forbidden secret technique. some portal wormhole fold paper in half and pierce it with a pencil bullshit.

Trans rights and intersex rights are always going to go hand in hand. No one should be prevented from accessing gender affirming medical care and no one should be forced to undergo unwanted medical interventions to make them conform to society's binary sex ideal. It's about choice and bodily autonomy.

If your arguments for the rights of one of these groups ignore the other, idealize the experiences of the other, or tokenize the other without actually advocating for its rights (example: "cis kids have easy access to the same treatments trans kids desperately need!" ignoring that many of those cis kids are intersex and not necessarily undergoing those treatments willingly), you're both missing the point and your proposed policies will have massive holes in them so that they may not actually fully support either group, or may even make these worse for one or both of them.

Abortion/contraception access is always going to go hand in hand with access to fertility treatment and eliminating nonconsensual sterilization. No one should be forced to have a child they don't want or prevented from having children they do want. It's about choice and bodily autonomy.

If your arguments for one of these issues ignore the other, idealize the other, or tokenize the other without actually advocating for that issue (example: "if the men in the government aren't going to let women have access to abortion and contraception, they should all have vasectomies!" advocating for unwanted sterilization), you're both missing the point and your proposed policies will have massive holes in them so that they may not actually fully address either issue, or may even make one or both of them worse.

Et cetera et cetera. Every time an issue is about bodily autonomy it may have two sides: restricted access to desired treatments, and forced infliction of unwanted treatment. And these will have to be addressed together to be addressed at all.

using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me

you know, it's real interesting that normal vectors are always perpendicular to whatever they're normal to. Like, no matter what you are, "normal" is always going away from you in a direction you don't care about or can't comprehend

Tumblr is unique bc like. It's collaborative shitposting and you can't opt in or out. You can just say something about your day then an evil wizard shows up to turn your post into something humorous

Every other site is just one and done, but here a post is a welcome mat to be funnier than you

figuring out how to get rid of screen addiction is like trying to figure out how to stop a nicotine addiction while also having a job centered around smoking cigarettes and having half your social life be in smoke breaks

I actually did properly bring the direwolf back but I haven't said anything about it or presented evidence because i'm shy

I bought a teeny tiny (but large and expensive) flash drive and immediately thought, oh shit. This thing is sooooo losable. So I got out some cord and beads and fixed it :)
