the best way to find new music is to start with some trans artist on bandcamp whose album sold like 5 copies and then click on the accounts that bought it and then listen to everything else those ppl also bought
twewy made me gay and trans

vingt regards sur l'enfant-diable
does anyone want to work thru this lecture series on the uniformization theorem with me https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo4jXE-LdDTTdCSceqIRlrM6UdhX_bFDw
today, as always: write a geometry paper with me
@packbat i am fond of 23, and 53, since they are one less than such nicely composite numbers (24 = 2^3 * 3 and 54 = 2 * 3^3)
more egocentrically, 4013 is nice bc it's one less than 0xfae (fae interpreted as hexadicimal)
Very large list of mostly indie tools for making games and interactive art: https://github.com/everestpipkin/tools-list
"Open source, experimental, and tiny tools roundup. This is a list of smaller tools that might be useful in building your game/website/interactive project"
(the list is not mine, the original source is everestpipkin at birdsite)
me: *opens geometry book*
the literal first fucking sentence: "One of the greatest, if not the greatest, achievements of the human mind was Einstein's formulation of 'general relativity' in 1915,"
me: (tossing aside) u could have just said "my favorite" instead of making it weird
re: Resource Request for calling people in re:blue lives matter :boost_requested:
@gryphon it depends what kind of place he's in / what he finds persuasive. my experience with ppl in that world (having grown up that way myself) is that bare stats are good to have, but they rely on a basic level of trust that is usually lacking -- the overwhelmingly common response is to find reasons to discount or rationalize the particular statistic or methodology at issue instead of engaging with the overall pattern.
from a queer intersectional perspective, imo it's hard to beat angela davis's "are prisons obsolete?" (which u can find free online) -- it's readable, not too long (50ish pages), and it is a huge infodump on the history of prisons and their rapid growth in the modern US. however... idk how that would be received? davis doesn't pull punches or soften things for white consumption, and from what u say i expect there would be considerable culture shock. that shock might be helpful in recognizing that there's a real problem or gap in his understanding, but it also might be so unfamiliar that he distrusts or rejects it after a few pages... so, i guess i'd recommend reading it yourself if u haven't, and then deciding whether to offer it to him directly or distill parts of it for your conversations while he's getting used to new perspectives.
my website is kind of broken rn so i put up triangle aesthetic propaganda, enjoy http://faec.me
if you are a white USian who has reflexively used the word "reform" in the last two weeks, your penance is to read this book on prison abolition by a leading black scholar before posting about the subject again: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/angela-y-davis-are-prisons-obsolete
it is less than 50 pages and it answers all of the obvious questions that everyone assumes the protestors haven't thought about
idk who needs to hear this but here is mr rogers saying "you always make it a special day by just your being yourself" made into a 45-minute ambient track by stretching it 500x https://soundcloud.com/faeraga/a-special-day
@KateLibC back in college i knew a guy who used the handle 'flea plus' everywhere and was a little self-conscious when ppl would recognize the reference
few things in life have been as disappointing as checking up periodically over the ensuing decades only to see that he's still a godsdamn mediocre straight cis "libertarian centrist" instead of blossoming into a rad anarchist trans girl or something
