It is interesting how much math comes into even the most basic of like. Making things. Making almost anything. And often not numbers necessarily but proportions and geometry. I think all the time about how castles were built with geometry at the heart of it. And I use the same kind of proportional math to make socks fit. And none of my pieces are ever knit with a prime number of stitches--because you use factors to make neat colorwork and ribbing and different stitches. Idk ! I remember constantly thinking 'how the hell is THIS gonna come in useful ?' But it always does. Math is at the heart of everything, and knowing how to apply it is a tool of critical importance to Thinking Up A Shape And Making It.

im all for making fun of and criticizing the way booktok (and booktube) aestheticize reading to an insane degree, making it more about being percieved as a reader more than like. actually reading. but some people on here lump the most normal things ever into the booktok consumerism pile?
like yes, booktok/tube places a lot of emphasis on the visuals of "reading", but then someone on here just went and said that simply "not wanting to damage your books" is a stupid booktok thing??? what? it's not vain or pretentious to care about your posessions, especially if they mean a lot to you. simply wanting your books to remain in good condition is not the same as having 100 unread books, or five editions of the same book, or books you hated, purely because they look nice.
and someone else said that having a yearly reading goal was also a stupid booktok/tube thing? since when? i've met people who set themselves yearly reading goals before youtube even existed. it's literally just a new years resolution, but tailored to a specific hobby?

On one hand, there's a "the Jedi are the REAL bad guys" YouTube video I want to debunk--just because it was the video that plunged me into that way of thinking when I was younger, and tearing it apart would be kinda cathartic.
...on the other hand, I don't know if my blood pressure or my sanity could survive me listening to someone just spouting bullshit comparisons with no context for 13 minutes and then concluding that they're correct after taking the most bad-faith reading of the Prequels I've ever heard.
Decisions, decisions...

the reason i like Ashino is because even if at first he will be talking abt how incredibly perfect and talented and girlboss sigma grindset he is, half an hour later he infodumps to you about the cutesy anime he is neurodivergent about and then looks at you like this afterwards
