genuinely cannot stop thinking about how fucking metal it is that, in a world obsessed with telling people "it'll get better" as a platitude, with no intention of actually putting in the work necessary to make things better, fall out boy came in here and dropped an album with a message that amounts to "it may never get better, but it doesn't have to get better for it to be worth it." an album that says "sometimes pain is part of life, and you don't have to get rid of the pain to love the things you love." an album that says "the bad moments will not make the good moments mean less." an album that says "you will ache for the times that you were numb and felt nothing, and you will wonder if it would be better to be numb again than to feel pain, but i promise you, the living makes the pain bearable."

I don’t think we give medieval Muslims enough credit. Like medieval math was a categorical mess with the majority of it containing random bases with damn near no theory or cohesive understanding of what it is outside of “I have this much grain and that can, theoretically, be worth this much which is marginally more than what I have right now I think?”

These dudes loved Allah so much that they essentially invented math just so that they could continue to worship and pray - that’s honestly one of the most beautiful act of worship and devotion in history and I don’t think it’s given nearly enough credit.

Also, they made a specialty compass:

like, sure, they invented a ton of math in the process, but also, they hacked the earth's magnetic field to locate Mecca. Let's revel in that over-achievement for a bit.

So others need not squint to read “On March 11, 889 CE, 17 year-old Emperor Uda wrote: ‘On the 6th day of the 2nd Month of the First Year of the Kampo era. Taking a moment of my free time, I wish to express my joy of the cat. It arrived by boat as a gift to the late Emperor, received from the hands of Minamoto no Kuwasahi. The color of its fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink. It has an air about it, similar to Kanno. Its length is 5 sun, and its height is 6 sun. I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long. In rebellion, it narrows its eyes and extends its needles. It shows its back. When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. you cannot see its feet. It’s as if it were a circular Bi disk. When it stands, its cry expresses profound loneliness, like a black dragon floating above the clouds. By nature, it stalks birds. It lowers its head and works its tail. It can extend its spine to raise its height by at least 2 sun. Its color allows it to disappear at night. I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.’”
