David Graeber "On the Invention of Money", anthropology
"Anthropologists gradually fanned out into the world and began directly observing how economies where money was not used (or anyway, not used for everyday transactions) actually worked.
What they discovered was an at first bewildering variety of arrangements, ranging from competitive gift-giving to communal stockpiling to places where economic relations centered on neighbors trying to guess each other’s dreams. What they never found was any place, anywhere, where economic relations between members of community took the form economists predicted: “I’ll give you twenty chickens for that cow.”
Hence in the definitive anthropological work on the subject, Cambridge anthropology professor Caroline Humphrey concludes, “No example of a barter economy, pure and simple, has ever been described, let alone the emergence from it of money; all available ethnography suggests that there never has been such a thing”"

it seems like our new headmate is pretty solidly here now... still doesn't have a name or much of an idea of their gender or anything but i think they're planning on holding off on that until after the move (which I appreciate, the move is a lot to deal with)
Rose is with them in back right now, not sure what they're doing, maybe zhe's just being a comforting presence? that is a thing zhe does a lot after all. Love you, Rose. 💚

going to be starting the moving process tomorrow.... stressssss

their "volume" as a fraction of that of the hypercube gets smaller and smaller to the point that in 24 dimensions, the best possible way to pack hyperspheres together (which was proven to be the best possible in 2017) fills only 0.19% of space with hyperspheres and all the rest is empty
-F
higher dimensional spheres are so weird to think about

I don’t think autism parents like my mom can even begin to imagine communities of care that make it possible to allow autistic children to be “not normal”.
Many autistic people, speaking or nonspeaking, very blatantly need 24/7 care, in ways that are incompatible with a culture where productivity and profit and property are everything.
The idea that autistic people and their caretakers ought to simply receive the money and resources they need, no conditions of working at a “job” attached, is considered absurd even by people who desperately need those resources.
nonsense
