"Another day not using the quadratic formula" sure buddy but my daughter teleported away from her pet kitty in Minecraft and the only information I had was this screenshot so I had to use sine and cosine and a spreadsheet to generate a list of likely coordinates near origin to find the cat

Screenshot of Minecraft with a black cat, with the text reading "the nearest minecraft:mushroom_island is at block -1680, 63, -1399 (2105 blocks away.)

It's an odd sensation to be happy to see a "No" result after years of wanting an indoor public pool in Oak Park, but this just wasn't a good plan in my opinion (and apparently the voters agreed.) Would much rather see a pool that doesn't take away one of the outdoor ones, especially for the cost.

Election results for Park District of Oak Park, Issue Bonds with a "No" result at 76.51% with 97% of precincts reporting. This was for a ballot initiative that stated "Shall the Park District of Oak Park, Cook County, Illinois, build and equip an indoor aquatics facility and issue its bonds to the amount of $40,000,000 for the purpose of paying the costs thereof?" - but didn't describe the actual plan to close and convert the outdoor Ridgeland Commons pool to an indoor space, losing one of the outdoor public pools.

I’m sure that this comic panel popping into my head at least a dozen times a day is also good?

hausofdecline comic panel with Garnet from Steven Universe with her hand on Steven’s shoulder. She is saying “I think we’re gonna have to kill this guy, Steven.” Steven has a sad look on his face and is saying “Damn.” The original comic was about Hitler.

Also this is somewhat my vibe despite enjoying many aspects of tech

Famous tweet from “Pranay Pathole” @PPathole that reads:

Cousins Bones & Glown are resting in their off-season home (the basement storage shed) but would like everyone to know they were saying this months ago.

I deleted this slide from my upcoming talk (ignore the wording as it is a rough draft slide) but today is making me reconsider.

PowerPoint slide with a purple background. The title is "The Discourse." It reads "
- Really cool discussion of sexuality and asexuality as being separate from or its own form of the concept of sexuality
- But also frustrating online discourse
- While we talk about the complexities, validity, arguing over definitions, etc. most ace people are just living their lives."
The right side is a photo of a Tumblr post from user hellsite-yano that reads "I never know how to say this without sounding condescending but when it comes to social media you can simply choose not to be around people who make you unhappy." The next post is an edited "Just Walk Out" meme that is a picture of a skeleton in a running pose that reads "JUST UNFOLLOW - you can leave!" and lists "bad content" "they fell off" "too political" "clout chaser" "vibes are off" "discourse addict" "unhinged point of view" "no actual opinions" "bad friend who makes you sad" and concludes with "if it sucks... hit dat unfollow! real winners gotta go!" Per the meme it is from "Da Porky Zone."

My talk is coming up in two weeks and I'm convinced that the key to a good talk is adding good flavor images

PowerPoint slide - with image of the album cover for Motorhead's "Ace of Spades." Slide title is "Outline," text reads "Define and orient to the current “gender-target” “sexual attraction” model of labeling sexuality – including strengths and limitations
Define sexual attraction and asexuality
Distinguish romantic attraction from sexual attraction and define aromanticism
Discuss asexuality & aromanticism beyond attraction, including history, culture, complexity, and labels
Review common myths and discuss clinical care"

There's actually another bookshelf and my "quick reference" desk books as well

In order to celebrate my promotion to Associate Professor, here are some dorky-ass photos of me with all of the books in my office. Not included: the other large amount of books at home, including the disturbingly large “to read” section in my home office.

Me with a bookshelf. This one is for more "patient-level" books, including sections on military and veteran related things, trauma, race, mental health, sexuality / sexual health.

Another bookshelf, this one bigger. I'm posing next to it with a brain model hamming it up as a joke. This shelf has therapy books, my sexuality / sex health section, and neurology / mental status / physical exam books.

Bottom of the bookshelf, with miscellaneous topics in psychiatry / neurology / medicine as well as my medical school and psychology undergrad texts

Another bookshelf, this one has more neuromodulation, brain injury medicine, neuroimaging, and behavioral neurology / neuropsychiatry topics.

So we bought a ton of books on Independent Bookstore Day from four different stores - but somehow the first box to arrive contains all of the books that are going to nearly immediately cut in line for my backlog.

Picture of six books. Clockwise from top: “Lavender Clouds: Comics About Neurodivergence And Mental Health” by Bex Ollerton; “The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today Volume 9” by Hitsuzi Yamada; “Catching The Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity” by David Lynch; “The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture’s Most Controversial Issues” by Dan McClellan; “Investigating Pop Psychology: Pseudoscience, Fringe Science, and Controversies” edited by Stephen Hupp and Richard Wiseman; “Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto” by Tricia Hersey.

I know that this is nowhere the worst shit of all of this but this is clearly signs that the people who drafted this are chronically online “parrot talking points of stupid people” types. Or googled it and realized chromosomes are complicated and searched some TERF accounts?

Excerpt from todays executive order about gender that says: “(d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produce the large reproductive cell.
(e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.”

Makes me think of this: twitterthecomic.tumblr.com/post/3668793...

Four panel comic from “Twitter: The Comic.” First panel is a man at a lectern saying “It’s wrong!” The second is the same man with a big painting of a horse behind him, with the man saying “If gay marriage is legal who will stop me marrying this painting of a horse.” Third panel is the man caressing the painting, sweating while saying “this majestic painting.” Fourth panel is him turning back to the audience, sweat still on his face as he says “who will stop me from kissing it.” Original tweet written by @puppy_eggs. Comic drawn by @vectorbelly.

Buying the entire series of books from @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social was exciting enough, but they also came with this really good booty cat sticker.

A stack of books. On the top is a sticker of an orange cat sitting on a very human-like butt, with the butt facing the observer and the cat turning its head over its shoulder to look at the observer. The hurt, it must be noted, is quite thicc.

Finally started to add stickers to the new-ish laptop.

Apple laptop cover with four stickers on it. Upper left sticker says “Don’t be trash - transphobic racist ableist sexist homophobic” with a yelling raccoon’s face. Upper right sticker has a psychedelic rainbow with smiling suns that reads “I Have A Migraine.” Bottom right sticker says “Read banned books” with a book with roses. Bottom left stickers shows a skeleton wearing eyeglasses and standing at a chalkboard with a piece of chalk. It reads “I’ll just wait until it’s quiet.”

Similar vibes - for academia, not the president elect.

Famous tweet by user @Shavartacus on Twittre from 2:37PM on 2/16/19 that reads "Twitter is wild because the dumbest people are like "Mayhaps you have slandered me with that ad hominem" and the smartest people are like "my dog id a chonky boi." This doesn't apply to the discussion of Trump, though.

I think about this idea all of the time. We’ve all said things about seeing weird stuff in the city / on public transit / etc. but that is just being exposed to a high dose of the large range of human experience at once without filter.

I haven’t been on much social media recently but why do people allegedly think so much about the Roman Empire? I know I have weird interests or whatever but that isn’t a thing for me? Should I consider this somehow confirming that I have a generally low affinity to gender or something?

Trying to figure out which @dasharez0ne.bsky.social shirt to buy for my porch skeleton AKA Cousin Bones. They may also be wearing an old bike helmet? I dunno.

“Up all night tired all day” shirt with a skull on it

Shirt that shows a book cover with a skeleton on it that reads “What happened to my body? How to embrace your changing body and live your best life, written by Admin, Forward by Admin”

Shirt with a skull that reads “Don’t like my music? That’s no surprise I have bad taste”

Shirt with a cartoon skeleton holding the earth that reads “I can’t wait to die for the economy.” The background reads “yes yes yes” and “cool cool cool” over and over again.
