i must not get mad online. getting mad online is the mind-killer. getting mad online is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face my urge to get mad online. i will permit it to pass over me and through me. and when it has gone past, i will turn the inner eye to see its path. where the getting mad online has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain
some people seem to think aotearoa new zealand is just fields and hills and grass. maybe some mountains. maybe a fjord or two. which is so fascinating to me because we have so many different biomes and landscapes it's bonkers.
we have massive volcanic fields. we have native palm trees and mangroves up north. we have huge swaths of geothermal areas that have geysers and bubbling hot mud and multicoloured pools. we have dense temperate rainforests. we have fern trees that grow ridiculously tall. we have huge tussock grasslands. we have a freezing cold desert. we have huge black sand beaches. we have sand dunes that stretch for kilometres. I love you aotearoa. this isn't even all of it these are just a few examples man
it's ridiculously beautiful and varied over here and yet when you say "new zealand", a lot of people imagine grass fields and sheep. which to be fair. we do also have. BUT STILL
long story short: it's not all fields and sheep. p.s. yes those are people at the top of the sand dune in the last photo

#I have a suspicion that a lot of people think aotearoa is a lot smaller than it actually is #I think there's a tendency especially for europeans and east-coast americans to think of it as 'a small island off of australia' #which like #it's small compared to australia #but most countries are small compared to australia #aotearoa has a greater area than the entire united kingdom #it also spans about 15° of latitude #which is 50% more than england #and also more than any US state except Alaska
"off of australia" is also a bit misleading; the distance looks small on a map, but that's because your brain is comparing it to the entire pacific ocean on the other side.
sydney (eastern coast of australia) to auckland (nz north island) is a three hour plane flight.
EXACTLY!!!!! we stretch from florida to new york if you put aotearoa on a map of the US. it's like saying "japan is a small island off the coast of china" to me
BIG!
would anybody else like to tell me how big the united states is. does anybody else want to let me know that the united states of america is big actually and takes a long time to drive around. <- being silly <- has heard it over a dozen times on this post alone and is a little tired because it's really truly not the point of the post
guys i ythink i broke my kim ?
girls I did cry a little during the dan and phil coming out video. I am so autistic I literally never conceptualised that they were together as a teen because I just wasn't involved in fandom in like 2014 other than for late 70s-early 80s british sci fi show Blake's 7. So, like, this has no meaning to me other than it makes me so happy to see a queer couple living their truth, and happily setting their own boundaries, and just being themselves. It feels like all the examples of queer couples online are all in some way having to sell their love, and I 100% relate to not wanting to do that. I was that crazy bitch who never put any wedding photos on Facebook, because I was like fuck it, we did it our way and we didn't do it for them.
But yeah. It's not like it was a surprise, two openly queer people living together for years, but I hope that whatever comes next for them, Dan and Phil have peace in their lives like never before. I hope they sleep like babies, I hope the media/fandom reaction is everything they could have wanted, and I hope this heralds a new age of couples being able to just Be online, without having to perform their Love.

I love how Taylor Swift has made a complete enemy out of me via 1 song. Like girl I previously had a neutral to positive opinion of her, but then she decided she had to release the opposite of the girl so confusing remix
Sometimes people do things that just perfectly showcase all their character faults in one fell swoop, and it just makes you completely re-evaluate them
"Summon ketamine ape is a banned spell" fuck it fine whatever, I summon a normal gorilla. I summon some ketamine.
#its fucked up bc they’re just doubling the number of spell slots you need for summoning ketamine apes. which obv is no problem for wealthy#wizards who can just buy more spell slots. discrimination#deepening wizard inequality
"Not being protected is traumatizing. Sexual abuse is traumatizing on its own. But if you were sexually abused but then protected as soon as another adult became aware, you will recover from the trauma far quicker. It is the relational wound of being unloved and unprotected that is so profoundly damaging. Not being protected is degrading. It is humiliating. It turns you into a person with no boundaries and no self-esteem. It turns you into a person with no impulse toward self-protection and you will be abused over and over again. I was. Being sexually abused strips you of your dignity, and not being protected announces that you have no dignity to protect. Not being protected communicates to you that you don’t matter and you aren’t loved."

No but seriously. Normalize finding love in your 40's. Normalize discovering and chasing new dreams in your 30's. Normalize finding yourself and your purpose in your 50's. Life doesn't end at 25. Let's stop acting like it does.

Nepal’s PM resigned on Tuesday as protesters set buildings on fire. But calls for broader change are growing.
Ok, so I am probably going to get people disagreeing with me on this, but I swear to god, if the things about the pro-trans pro-anarchist messaging on the bullets are true, AND this person turns out to be legit left wing when they are caught, I have to say, fuck them.
I feel no sympathy for Charlie Kirk. Living in a culture where political assassinations are frequent is absolutely terrible though. It's never a good sign for the future, and it creates an extremely toxic political environment.
If you are trans ally, and you want to do something for trans people, DON'T POLITICALLY ASSASSINATE SOMEONE AND THEN IMPLICATE US!!! Sure, it won't make any difference to what happens to you, but the US government is definitely going to try and strip gun rights from trans people now. Trans people are an extremely vulnerable extreme minority! We make up a tiny portion of the population! Do you think anybody will be convinced to change their minds about trans rights because you assassinated Charlie Kirk for us??? Not in a good way, certainly!!!
Here's what you do instead: in the UK, we "milkshake" or "egg" politicians. Embarrassing for them, hugely inconvenient, but nobody dies, and rarely will anyone feel sorry for the politician. You get a charge of like, common assault at most, and probably just get a slap on the wrist. Go do that.
Anyway. I am absolutely sick to death of cis people performatively saying and doing violent things in reference to "supporting trans rights" as a signal to eachother that they are super cool, and in the in-group of cool people who love trans people. Actually fuck off!!!!! Stop assassinating people, stop calling JK Rowling a Bitch online, you are actively handing them ammunition against us and we are at an extremely politically vulnerable point in time!!!
Like oh my god! Cis people! Stop saying things like "but they're already killing you we have to #fightback" or whatever!!! This is just not true! Things can get so much worse for trans people! Stop fucking accelerationist sacrificing us for the hope of some kind of mental civil war cum revolution!!!!
"Make fascists afraid again" bitch they are killing left wing people more than right wing people!!!!!! Every public figure will now be afraid you dumb fucks!!!
i am massively overdue for a very very good week where not a single bad thing happens and everything is easy

This isnt really meant to be comprehensive coverage of my 24 pages of work and speculation trying to rigorously define my work with the dragon curve, but I chose some random pages i found particularly aesthetic. I also don't usually talk much about products or anything, but for math the Remarkable 2 is extremely useful if you like to do work by hand. It writes well enough, and the ability to move writing around makes it so you can very neatly organize proofs as you go. A little pricey for such a limited and closed ecosystem, but she's been a work horse for me, as you can see, especially for math.
