i did an interview for hawkers mag! i talked a lot about how plants, rest, and nature mean so much to me and my art 🌿✨give it a read:

In about two months, it will be 5 years since moving here.

...5 years was a long time ago!

Emilie du Chatelet and Mary Somerville

When Newton published his revolutionary theory of gravity, in his monumental Principia of 1687, most of his Continental peers rejected it for its reliance on physical observation and mathematical insight instead of religious or metaphysical hypotheses. But the brilliant French aristocrat and intellectual Emilie du Chatelet and some of her early eighteenth-century Enlightenment colleagues–including her lover, Voltaire–realized the Principia had changed everything, marking the beginning of theoretical science as a predictive, quantitative, and secular discipline. Emilie devoted herself to furthering Newton’s ideas in France, and her translation of the Principia is still the accepted French version of this groundbreaking work. Almost a century later, in Scotland, Mary Somerville taught herself mathematics and rose from genteel poverty to become a world authority on Newtonian physics. She was feted by the famous French Newtonian, Pierre Simon Laplace, whose six-volume Celestial Mechanics was considered the greatest intellectual achievement since the Principia. Laplace’s work was the basis of Mary’s first book, Mechanism of the Heavens; it is a bittersweet irony that this book, written by a woman denied entry to university because of her gender, remained an advanced university astronomy text for the next century.

Book Recommendation: “Seduced by Logic” by Robyn Arianrhod

The book tells the story of Emilie du Chatelet and Mary Somerville, who, despite living a century apart, were connected by their love for mathematics and their places at the heart of the most advanced scientific society of their age. Combining biography, history, and popular science, Seduced by Logic not only reveals the fascinating story of two incredibly talented women, but also brings to life a period of dramatic political and scientific change. With lucidity and skill, Arianrhod explains the science behind the story, and explores - through the lives of her protagonists - the intimate links between the unfolding Newtonian revolution and the development of intellectual and political liberty.

Came here wanting to call out the voices of insecurities that come every once in a while.

...

Just need to remind myself that I am capable, I am doing the thing (I’ve BEEN doing it for years).

Hi.

I’m getting worked up about two things:

1. I’ve been learning this concerto that my violin instructor assigned to me a couple months ago. There are a lot of techniques that are new to me and I’ve been slow with practicing lately. But I realized while listening to KH music, there are some very similar techniques in Dark Impetus and now I want to learn to play it. Like, I want to be able to play it well NOW.

2. I learned there was this mathematician Maria Agnesi who was the first woman to write a math textbook, first woman appointed to be a math professor at a university, but despite having grown up toward reaching all these intellectual pursuits, she decided to give it all up to live in poverty and devote herself to religious life.

I still need to grade and plan lessons, but I cannot get past these!
