the older i get the more it's terrifying to me how much child surveillance is normalized. scared for your child's mental health? here's more tools that will make them feel even more watched at all times. child is experimenting with their gender identity while away from you? we made it this other adult's job to surveil them for you. kid is "enjoying" their "free time" instead of doing homework? we've put parental controls on the things that they like so that you can monitor their private time. like can we fucking stop

Last Song: Headlock - Imogen Heap, not surprising since it was my most played song of 2024

Last Movie: Ratatouille

Last Book: A Curse for True Love - Stephanie Garber. Not... a very good book. I love Garber's worlbuilding but she's pretty bad at tying together the end of her trilogies,

Last TV Show: I'm working my way through LOST for the first time! Currently on season 3 👀

Sweet, savory or spicy: Sweet!

Relationship status: Single

Last thing I googled: "tweet leopards eating face" I wanted to show my mom the iconic tweet, relating to US news lol

Looking forward to: Two things in march: ski trip with the family and attending a fantasy ball

Current obsessions: Listening to audiobooks while sewing and crafting. Currently working my way through The Secret History by Donna Tartt and sewing my outfit for the fantasy ball heheheehe

[mathemayhem]

Hell yeah fantasy ball audiobook crafting! Im not going to tag anyone so im just RBing :-)

Last song: Get Up by Xiu Xiu, one of their more approachable songs and a great Harry Du Bois song. Singing in the car on my way home from choir practice!

Last movie: Jönssonligan kommer tillbaka on christmas day, at our local little cinema. I don't watch a lot of movies xwx

Last book: uuuuuuh last fiction book.... that i finished... idk... but i god halfway through The Idiot and i do love it but I probably need to start over. Nationalnyckelns band om snäckor räknas nog inte :-p

Last TV show: Rapport?? That can't count. I did watch the first two eps of Whiskey on the Rocks but its got this slight propaganda vibe that I don't love. I really want to get my hands on Twin Peaks.

Sweet, savoury or spicy: sweet, savoury AND spicy! Thai style!

Relationship status: single. getting pretty sick of it tbh. the dating apps are so so shittified.

Last thing I googled: variations on "FeO water" "Wüstite Hygroscopic" "FeO mill scale dust" in scholar, in regular google its uh, "ankpress", which we were talking about at work. for some reason. The wikipedia article was fun and gross.

Looking forward to: going to bed, getting up early to go skiing before work!

Current Obsession: mill scale microstructure, i.e. work stuff. I'm not the Mill Scale Guy and I do not need to be obsessed with it but Im looking down the rabbit hole and idk if I can resist. Its so complex and beautiful and seems incredibly understudied. Thus the FeO searches. I thought it was just one oxide and its this crazy mix with beautiful eutectoid structures. And sometimes it turns into terrible black dust.

[Image ID: the meme of squidward with a button on his shirt, the text on the button reads;

" Although insect phobias cannot always be helped, they should not be so normalized in our culture because this justifies irrational hatred and fear of an incredibly important group of animals that make up the majority of life on this planet, and continues to perpetuate an attitude that makes violence against and extincion of these essential and often harmless contributors to the ecosystem acceptable, and further propagates more insect phobias in individuals which then continues the cycle of misunderstanding and ecological violence" // End ID ]

Drafted a couple posts because I'm not sure how to say this. Young people are inexperienced and frequently obnoxious. This has always been true. Cultural shifts and new technology only mean they will be inexperienced and obnoxious in different, more visible ways. You aren't beating the grumpy old hater allegations by cloaking your kids-these-days bitching in tiktok scapegoating and alleged youth tech illiteracy.

You have forgotten all the embarrassing ways you were inconsiderate at 18. You might still be your old manager's go-to anecdote for crazy oblivious interns. All the forums you posted on begging for answers instead of reading the fucking sticky or googling it are lost to time. But nah this generation is uniquely stupid and rude, for real this time.

bad news, euclid fans! i just disproved his assertation that parallel lines don't intersect for their entire infinite length. i walked along them for approximately 8.6 x 10⁸ km and you know what i found? that's right, a tangle.

they don't touch for the rest of their infinite length though, i did check. in both directions.

[tuxankhamun]

i'm sorry that's my fault i was walking along that stretch earlier and accidentally tripped and tangled them up and i couldn't get them untangled and i thought no one would notice i'm so sorry

it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of "I'm a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS" girl no it doesn't. that's meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I'd say that rejecting biological determinism in favor of space gas determinism isn't the slay the astrology queers think it is but if I'm being completely honest I fear that many members of our community haven't even really rejected biological determinism so much as sprinkled a layer of glitter on it

Beautiful crab from the ocean 🦀❤️ that was hard to draw... because it jumped around so much 😵‍💫

(it was safe during the session and is now back in the ocean with the others 🦀)

we have "thembo" for someone who uses they/them but I would contest that we need a more inclusive gender-neutral term as there are genderqueer types who don't use those pronouns.

therefore I have a proposal, which is simply: imbo. change the opening vowel for Flavor if you want. alternately maybe nimbo.

[phemiec]

I had a dream once that the new hit aesthetic was climbo, which was just handsome muscular clowns, usually shirtless, who did thirst trap videos on tiktok which everyone called "honkbait"

anyway completely unrelated I approve of this bold new direction in 'mbo technology 👍

[mathemayhem]

Umbo, for those Cakes who are more Mussel than Muscle...

I think Spock could hang out with Squidward because they're the same type of cultured faggot but Squidward would get petty and mean about something and Spock would be like honestly mr tentacles I find this type of outburst very distasteful. & he would fix him

maybe i shouldn’t respond to wrong number texts any more

When I was a kid I was “darn I just love when female characters pretend to be dudes for whatever reason” and the reason will not shock you in the slightest
