I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.

The second drawing in my series completely out of order is the woman who won the Fields Medal Winner, solved a breakthrough in Geodesic, Discovered the Magic Wand Theorem and is an Olympiad champion.

Maryam tragically passed away in 2017 at 40 years old but her legacy lives on as her birthday, may 12th, is celebrated as international women in maths day.

If this series does well, I want to turn them into a print collection where a portion of the proceeds will be donated to a charity to help more kids access STEM and education. Representation matters, and so does opportunity.

Which letter of the alphabet do you want to see next?

I do wish we could make it a little more socially acceptable to wander the streets at night weeping inconsolably I feel like that would have a great catharsis factor for a lot of people

Learning used to be so much fun. I'd read encyclopedias during meals when I was a kid, solve math problems bc it felt good being the only one in my class who could do it, finish fiction books in a day.

Then academic trauma happened. Being 'the smart one' suddenly meant pressure to be better, be perfect, have the grades and the test scores and the medals to prove it. And now I'm an adult and doing a master's and still feel like the dumbest, most inferior person in this uni. Studying is so painful and I get fucking hives at the 20-min mark.

I hate seeing myself as the victim of all that shit bc all the procrastination and anxiety feels like it's only my fault. But what the fuck. Why would they do that to someone who somehow enjoyed learning. Was it worth it? If I put all my success in a can and hand it to them, weight it against that person's own shame and past trauma, will I ever be normal about this again?

Just got to talk to Francis Su, literally yesterday, and he shared how in grad school he went through something really similar. Everything was hard, and there were real problems. So he had to re-examine why he was doing mathematics.

Decades of thinking about that led him to his Math for Human Flourishing message.

Quick take:

Longer take:

So I don't know about being normal, but it can be better, and this is an opportunity to pursue virtues that will make all of life better. Gratitude and community, among other things Francis meditates on. It doesn't have to be math, but it certainly can be, and math is a great path if you're drawn to it.

I hope this doesn't sound preachy. Just had to say something because someone kind took the time to talk to us yesterday about it.

So I do 3D modeling and printing as a hobby, and a few weeks ago I designed wheel guards meant to prevent office chairs from running over cables and clothes... or your pet's tail.

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.
