Hi, Mathblr. Have You Had Any Mind Blowing Realisations Lately? Personally, I Only Realised This Month

no no no

love this tweet bc it's basically just saying wizards would be autistic. which duh

Calculus is ruining my fucking life. Every time I see a thing inside another thing, I can't help but wonder how to apply the chain rule. It started with abstract things like syntax trees, but I got jumpscared by a banner ad showing penis-in-vagina sex and all I could think about was derivatives. v'(p(x)) * p'(x), where v(x) is vagina and p(x) is penis. Now, how to find v'(x) and p'(x). . . ?

Everything is secretly about sex, except sex, which is secretly about calculus.

🎆 Celebrating New Year’s Eve as a witch 🎆

I hope you had a great Yule and a merry Christmas! 

Even though New Year’s Eve is not part of the witches’ sabbats, or the pagan’s wheel of the year, many witches still decide to celebrate December 31st. Here are a few ideas to make this night a bit more witchy and magical… 

🎆 Make New Year’s resolutions, and note them in your grimoire or book of shadows. Draw magical sigils to ensure strength and success. 

🎆 Use kitchen witchcraft to infuse all your ambitions and good intentions for the new year into baked goods and NYE cocktails. 

🎆 Make a 12-card Tarot spread, to reveal what you should focus on every month of next year. 

🎆 Cleanse your home. If you want inspiration, find here my post on cleansing using the 4 elements. 

🎆 Practice candle magic by lighting a white candle, which represents purity and new beginnings, at midnight and whispering your hopes for 2021 to the flame. 

🎆 Write a letter to your future self, to open next New Year’s Eve, as a way to reflect on what you hope to happen within the year. You can write a physical letter or use FutureMe.org. 

🎆 Be loud! Make as much noise as possible, especially at midnight, to scare away bad energies for the new year. 

🎆 Open windows and/or doors at midnight, to let the old energies of 2020 go, and to bring in new and positive intentions. 

been thinking about fantasy/scifi rule systems and free will

I am going to eat this entire candy cane.

when i came out as trans i had an old friend from my church days message me to congratulate me and ask me for my name and pronouns. and i was shocked tbh cause he was such a head-deep-up-the-church’s ass kind of guy so i was super wary.

and after digging a little deeper i found out that he was very supportive of transness, saying that trans men are men and trans women are women

BUT

he also believed in the church’s gender roles meaning that trans women had to marry men and be submissive wives and trans men had to marry women and be strong christian husbands.

which is like ????

the weirdest and most surreal form of trans inclusive misogyny i’ve ever seen.
