hi hello there welcome to my lil corner of the internet :)

I've been floating through this thing called tumblr for a while now, so I figured I'd introduce myself properly

I go by many names (depending on context), but in general, y'all can call me Day (or Puck ;) lol). my pronouns are they/them and I'm technically speaking, an adult lol

here are some handy links for ya o7 lol

a directory for this blog featuring an unfinished list of tags I use

you can also find me writing drabbles on AO3 as an-honest-puck

get your clicks in to help Palestine

my main tag on here is #day says hey (= general rambling) and my directory has a breakdown of my other rambly tags lol

I have an Old Hollywood/jazz sideblog (radiolilo) that I run - I'm all about vintage style, not vintage values. Also lots of Golden Era movie musicals, jazz, and Ella Fitzgerald.

and my other sideblog curatedbyday is just my excuse to curate a museum lol

Every year I think to myself "I’ll use tumblr more", and every year I forget about it until I find a super niche fandom/thing/person to love that other social media sites just don't cover lol

So, here’s to meandering through this weird and wacky internet world ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

On a lighter + adjacent note i love dis tweet + these QRTs of it ^_^... literally...

[snowylynxx]

personally the lattice method of multiplication is the reason i hate math

[snowylynxx]

youre telling me that i can make some boxes with lines through them

solve the multiplication equation for each pair of individual digits and arrange them in the boxes just so

AND THEN ADD UP ALL THE NUMBERS IN EACH COLUMN AND GET THE RIGHT ANSWER????

[snowylynxx]

this post taught me that not everyone learned the lattice method in elementary school

[alexisjohnson824]

[wall-maria-around-ba-sing-se]

In grade school we learned the normal way to do multiplication one day and then the lattice way the next, except I was sick the day we learned the normal way and they never went back and reviewed it and neither did I and so to this day I only know how to use the lattice method

....What the ever loving fuck, this is really cool???? I have NEVER heard of this???

[unicorncryptid]

I swear the jump from the first to the second image is basically that "draw the owl" meme.

[ruffboi-mags]

Yeah it took me a while to figure it out, but I DID! So for me and you and everyone else going “wait wtf just happened????” I present a more step by step breakdown!

So you start with a grid with as many squares as needed to write one number across the top and one number down the side. And draw these diagonal lines through them. Yes you should extend them out the side.

THEN you basically multiply the numbers that match with each square, put the tens digit in the top triangle and the ones digit in the bottom triangle. Like so:

so once you’ve done that, you start adding up the numbers in the DIAGONAL column/row thingies from the bottom right up to the top left, like so:

You only want one digit (tho I assume if the very top/last row somehow gets 2 digits that’s ok, but ONLY in that position) and you’ll carry over to the next column, like if you were adding normally.

Then you start at the top left and just take all the numbers going down and around and put them together!

It does take up a lot more space and has a few more steps than the more traditional long multiplication, I think, but for people who struggle with that I think this would be a handy tool!

Here’s a screenshot of the more traditional style to compare:

I hope this helps! I had to figure it out on my own bc I was never taught this either. :)

[heroineimages]

Huh. I'll be damned. Reblogging so I'll hopefully remember how to do it.

[sonicskullsalt]

here's how I learned to multiply that

[maybeasunflower]

Naah, there's a quicker way discovered by Karatsuba in the 1960s:

[dorfird]

In the 1970s, in the US, I was only taught what @fret-not-dearheart refers to as the more traditional style of multiplication, above. In the 2010s, in the US, my children were taught several methods (but I don't know if any of them were the lattice method).

The Most Tumblr Punchline

I've noted before that my favorite punchline on Tumblr is "hang on, gotta look something up/okay that's funny."

Let me explain why:

It is a way to say "I don't get it" without blaming the joke or the teller.

It is a tacit admission of ignorance without shame or judgement.

It assumes responsibility for acquiring the knowledge the respondent doesn't already have.

It cues other people who Don't Get It to do the look-up themselves, allowing them to get that full impact of Getting It without derailing the post with explanations.

It gives subsequent readers, whether or not THEY got the joke, a little frisson of good feelings when they realize that someone else is now In On The Joke.

It not only makes the original joke funnier, it gets funnier the more often it's used.

[embervoices]

This, and You Are One Of Today's Lucky 10,000 are very much things I love about Tumblr culture, yes!

[sailermoon]

be careful with what series you watch/read during emotional points in your life because they will forever contain a ghost of your past self within it now

We need to go back to using sailing ships full time like immediately. Yes it would take longer to get places but the Aesthetic is unmatched

Like there is nothing sexier hthan this

[theboboshow]

Can’t wait for OP to get scurvy

[plaguedocboi]

Are you under the impression that the ships themselves are what caused scurvy

[plaguedocboi]

Once again. Do you think this is the fault of the ships themselves

Please help me go into remission from Type II diabetes

Hello everyone, I am so sorry to remake this post, but I am very scared. I am experiencing embarassing and vulnerable symptoms- my type II diabetes is becoming progressive, and I am desperate to go into remission. It has affected my liver and my heart, and neuropathy has made me partially incontinent. On April I was hospitalized twice. I have no thyroid, and without medication, it will put me into a myxedema coma and will kill me within days. Hypothyroidism and type II diabetes is making it very difficult for me to find work, as I am from the global south (the Philippines), with government aid only covering 20,000 pesos (around 326 usd) a year. I am the only person in my family who can work; my mother is paralyzed from a brain injury, and my sister is autistic with a very low frustration threshold. I need help covering for my new medication, as I now take metformin twice a day, and phosphates to help with my liver and kidneys, and b complex to help bolster my immune system. Im sorry I keep remaking this post, I am alone and desperate. Community is all I have. Thank you so much for your endless grace and compassion.

Hey everyone, I am sorry for incessantly reblogging this. For pride I am asking for mutual aid. I got laid off at work. As contract says, I will not be getting paid outside of a kiIl fee, which I have no word on when I will receive. I am really struggling with the rising cost of everything, as I am the only caretaker of a family of four and our four cats. My mother is also severely disabled with liver failure. Im at my wits end just trying to keep afloat. Thank you so much

I haven’t seen anybody talking about it yet, but Siobhan wore something incredibly cool for Battle at the Bowl. She had on a denim jumpsuit covered in patches inspired by Adaine’s story (that she looked incredible in) - take a close look when the show gets posted to Dropout. There was a medication bottle patch over her shoulder, what looked like a corn cutie down by her elbow, I think a crystal orb over each collarbone, and a handful of others that I couldn’t get a good look at. What an incredibly cool idea, and kudos to whoever designed and built that for her.
