My Aesthetic Is Like Dark Academia But The Medieval Iranian / Islamic Golden Age Version

Literally such a funny concept

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to run low on storage space

laughing with your friends and eating good food are kind of the whole point of life

I am unfortunately just like other guys. I like trashy horror, dog poems, cannibalism as a metaphor for obsessive devotion, religious imagery, people who use my name in a sentence, academic validation, lying for fun, being bisexual and bleeding out in the snow.

learned about islamic astronomy today and it's probably the first time i've encountered science informing religion which is pretty cool

math rant, sorry

i genuinely think that math hating is a learned social behavior. you have to hate it to be relatable, otherwise you're a nerd - and not the eccentric fun kind of science nerd. also there is this assumption that if you're not naturally good at it, you shouldn't even try, which doesn't really exist for other subjects. like, students won't mind writing an essay, or doing arts, even if they're not amazing at it, but doing math when they might fail is somehow torture.

all these memes like "pythagoras is useless irl" and "satan put the alphabet in math" read to me like "the curtains were blue cause they were blue!!>:(" bs, but receive way less criticism online. do people even agree with the memes, or is it just herd mentality? cause honestly, why is math more useless than anything else we learn in school? why is saying "x-2=4" more evil than saying "what minus two equals four"?

of course, math people with low self esteem and condescending auras are also to blame for making math unappealing, as well as math teachers with no social skills lol. but the overall meme-ability of math hating sure is not helping, cause kids go into school with the expectation that math will be hard and they won't enjoy it
