ao3 has asked me if I want to claim as author some very mediocre HP fanfic I wrote when I was a teen (since fictionalley is being archived into ao3)

...honestly I don't think I do, think it's best to let it live out its days in old-handle pseudonymity

i do understand why the shortest (great circle) path from atlanta to london has its peak latitude over the atlantic and doesn't just linearly go between the latitudes of its endpoints

but somehow i can't make it feel intuitive

spheres man, how do they work
