-there's snacktime

-there's always some kid screaming

-the authority figures are mostly there to keep you safe rather than get you to do anything in particular

-all else equal they would really rather you take a nap, though

undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

This is called a fault tree. You will always know how to act if your fault tree captures all possible scenarios. In NASA Mission Control during mission critical events like landings there are huge binders with fault tree protocols, kind of like choose your own adventure books except you’re not the one making the choices, the universe is making them for you and you’re just trying to keep up.

The engineers who develop fault trees, I am told, often imagine new ways for their precious spacecraft to die (new branches on the fault trees) either while in the shower or lying awake at 3am, because human

Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I don’t get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably don’t have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.

shout-out to the guy at the ceiling fan factory that makes sure every fan has a regular speed setting and then also a setting where it spins so fast that you just know it's going to fall out of the ceiling and kill you

An Ode to Stars🌟 With the launch of my Star Projector Kickstarter, I took a look back on all the stars that I have painted over the years. There's just something so magical about their unique shape and glow that brings joy to my inner child. My actual childhood was quite traumatic so now I'm making up for all the lost time. Every painted star heals me just a little bit.

I was reading a book containing a collection of secular Polish poems from before 1500 for my thesis and most of them were all pretty serious - either love poems, odes or satires - but at the very end I found my favorite one:

“This is my rhyme: Warm bread with butter in it.”

[jagiellonka-deactivated20181008]

From a book containing a collection of Old Polish texts (as found in a 1460 Latin codex):

“Kind God, give [me] calmth, [give me] peace And a loaf of bread with Czech cheese.”
