Eldritch forest spirit fighting her way back into a math phd (pls send help) May all people live with kindness and joy for one another! Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and compassion!

Whenever my cell phone rings this weird warm tingling sinking sensation of tension washes over my body. I'm sure this is normal. This is just how phones are after all.

I think it would be really wonderful if seagulls were constructed more like bottles with a mystery inside. What I'm imagining is that were you to catch one, you could then unscrew its face and there would be a glowing gem nestled in some sort of socket. The Core of the Gull so to speak. Then you could swap that around with other seagulls, and after screwing the faces back on they would fly off as if nothing happened. Hm... Is this too esoteric, or do some of you see what I am getting at?

[mathematikerin-freyja]

Can you elaborate the connection to mormonism? I am intrigued.

Mormon colonizers in Salt Lake City were terrorized by mormon crickets that would eat practically any crops they could find, to the point it was compared to a biblical plague like those in ancient Egypt. After a while, and supposedly a lot of prayer, a bunch of seagulls around Salt Lake arrived that ate tons of crickets, so they're credited with saving the pioneers to an extent. It's called the miracle of the gulls. (linking to wikipedia because im lazy)

I don't know if seagulls in general are revered at all outside of this event (probably not??) but the evocative imagery displayed in the beautiful tapestry of Seagull Lootboxes reminded me of it

[mathematikerin-freyja]

Very interesting! Thank you for elaborating. I am fully henceforth resolved to incorporate multiple references to the "miracle of the gulls" in each of my day to day conversations with coworkers for the next few weeks.

The European Union already forced Apple to abandon its proprietary charging port and adopt USB-C across its entire iPhone lineup. It just did something bigger. A new EU mandate requires every smartphone sold in Europe including Apple devices to feature a battery that can be replaced by the user without specialist tools, without voiding a warranty, and without sending the device to a manufacturer approved service center. Batteries must maintain a minimum capacity threshold after a set number of charge cycles and replacement parts must remain available for up to ten years after a model goes on sale.

The consumer electronics industry built its current business model around batteries that degrade, cannot be replaced at home, and create a natural upgrade cycle every two to three years. The EU just legislated that model out of existence in the world's largest regulatory market.

Apple, Samsung, and every other manufacturer now faces a choice between redesigning their devices for the European market or accepting that their current hardware architecture is no longer legally sellable there.

Given that no company walks away from European consumers voluntarily the phones are going to change and once they change for Europe the rest of the world will ask why theirs still do not.

I LOVE THIS!

Thank you Tumblr people, I will continue to strives to secrete my thoughts on the regular.

[mathematikerin-freyja]

I bring a real "kill them all; let god sort it out" vibe to adding seasoning to my meals.

My cocoon!

[mathematikerin-freyja]

I mistakenly left my violin outside in its storage bucket during the rain and after the sun dried it out the sound is a bit off. Do you think I could fix this by sanding down the warped parts that are bulging the most?

[mathematikerin-freyja]

Yeah, I am more and more convinced each day now. I just want to go home. I need to be with my friends and family.

Down in the mushroom grotto watching the various fungi pulse with different coloured lights when a lanky goat disturbs me from my transfixed bliss to inform me that I need to check the vegetable tray in my fridge because I don't remember what is in there anymore and that definitely means something is rotting. 😭

Contemplating a future where you can buy some tools and create your own custom insects from scratch in a specialised bug workshop. The first rule would be always make the bugs look more scary. The second rule would be always attach more knees. Spikes too if you got em in stock. Aside from that though it would be pretty free form artistic expression, and maybe there would be a television show where people show off their most imaginative new species of insects. I know what I would invent if bug workshop were a real hobby. Do you?

I think genemodding bugs is comparably easy to diy

To get more knees you need more legs or more knees per leg. Both can be done by controlling the gene sequence responsible for the general bodyplan (the hox system). I forgot the reference, but i saw someone explain it by demonstrating how to add extra segments to a centipede (or millipede?). Your creation might not be livable anymore though and working with (pre-)embrionic insect stemmcells is probably a bit of a pain. All of that should be reasonably well understood though, there is a lot of literature about it

[m---a---x]

Regarding the hox system, the same channel has a video explaining it starting at 18:50

[mathematikerin-freyja]

Surely there is some regulation against actually doing this. It seems like the general public probably should not be doing this sort of stuff.

Is this anything

[mathematikerin-freyja]

Yes, this is magnificent! ❤️

not to be all "these two words will change your life" or whatever, but I promise you, programming in "good catch!" as your response to people correcting you/pointing out errors or whatever removes so much friction from interactions, and comes with a delightful happy meal toy of "not hating yourself so much for making mistakes"

[madgastronomer]

I use "I stand corrected" a lot. The mild silliness of the outdated language makes it work for me.

[knitmeapony]

I had a high school science teacher who would say "if you admit you're wrong and change your mind..." and the whole class would respond back "... you aren't wrong anymore!"

And when a kid would assert something incorrect In class, he wouldn't tell them they were wrong, he would help lead them to the right answer and then when they admitted/ accepted the new information, he'd say "now we're both right! Nice work!"

For a bunch of gifted kids whose identity and reputation often was staked on knowing more than most people, it was a great safety valve. No shame in making a mistake, because if you accept it you have learned! Now you are smarter! It always made me feel better.

hrt is so cool. so glad i decided to stop worrying about whether i was trans enough to start and instead just asked if i wanted it for myself.
