Ah, yes, the well-known mathematical fact that 5 + 8 = 🚫

@inthehands @blogdiva I hear that’s the preferred notation for triskaidekaphobics.

Thank you for your recent dispatches, by the way.

@Meyerweb @blogdiva @inthehands Also that 8 + 🚫 = 3, and 🚫 + 3 = 4, so 13 = -5 = 🚫 = 1, which is all true mod 6.

*slow clap*

I briefly wondered whether there was a modulus that would get us all the way to the 4…but where I merely wondered, you ventured.

@inthehands @Meyerweb @blogdiva and there was I thinking that 🚫 stood for 10, so the next number in the sequence is 10+3 = 13.
