the idea that any people, let alone people who are raising children, think that actual satan is in a children's book or a cartoon or a beatles album or whatever is one of the most mortifying things i can imagine. if that happened to you i'm sorry your parents are gigantic unwell weirdos

just some white she/her older millennial. "a villain that fights by the book of arithmetic." will be your book reading coach and cheerleader if you want, please ask. not a professional account. i hate reply guys and will make it weird. same with doomers
every time i see this PR email i think it's about factorial signs. like in math. it is about factorial, signing, a business deal
"A bad night’s sleep feels like noticing your water bottle sprung a leak after it’s already started destroying the things in your backpack. By the time you realize how bad things are, they’ve probably gotten worse than you know." -- Josh Gondelman, 3/16/26 newsletter
We did a batch of supergluing, and I did these visible (non food safe!) mends on my partner's favorite mug and one of my glass bowls. One is fabric and the other is mulberry/washi paper.
I also started some #crochet with Caron Simply Soft held with Premier Cotton Gold thread, it's very very pretty so far.
Hi, do you ever have dreams where time passes slowly and you feel bored or even trapped for a long time? This is a type of anxiety dream I have, and it makes me curious how time passes in others' dreams. It just seems wild that my brain is laundering this sense of extra time and using it to make me feel bored.
hi hello. if you could use a momentum chain, i just finished a crocheted pillow sham and cancelled a recurring payment for a membership. you can do whatever you need to do
i'm browsing back into "project hail mary" and it's even more annoying and "ready player one" than i remembered
the main character is supposed to be i think 35? and he lives in 2026 with the rest of us. and the book is dedicated to the beatles. nothing is unclear about any aspect of what andy weir is like, who he's writing for, and what it all stands in for culturally. in my opinion
the press cycle where he shyly or openly admits he hates politics and thinks they don't belong in science fiction is revealing of both his character and the spirit of his work. i hate his guts, hated this book, i won't see this movie, and i hope everyone turns on him more and more

dr. cat knows i love her so i want to gently say that, of course, this all being true at once is exactly the point. an older white man inventing a hyperpalatable white male teacher and the entire world rests on his shoulders alone. it's barely a story about science at all, it is cozy bedtime fanfiction for white men who want to feel like they could do it if they were asked, even if they were completely unrelated high school teacher washouts. after all, haven't you read that one paper they wrote?
