I bet you did.

Did you estimate what mpg your car is getting?  Did you figure out how many hamburgers you could get for six bucks?  Did you think about how long it would take you to get somewhere given the speed and distance?  Did you plan a meal so all the components would be done at the same time?  Did you encounter anything on sale?  Did you figure out how many groceries you could get for how much money you had?

There are about a million other daily, unconscious tasks that use algebra or at least algebraic thinking.  Just because you weren’t writing out an equation or employing variables doesn’t mean you weren’t using the skills that algebra and other math courses taught you.

Science and math aren’t important because you’re going to need to know the exact steps of photosynthesis or the quadratic formula.  They’re important because they teach you scientific and mathematical literacy and rational thinking, and that is sorely needed in a world where charlatans and cheats or people with a political or religious agenda can get away with all manner of pseudoscience and bullshit because people don’t have enough scientific literacy or critical thinking skills to accurately weigh the arguments or even discern where they fail logically.

So study math and science, and art, and literature, and history, and politics, not because you’re going to need it or it’s going to do something specific for you, but because an uninformed populace is bad for the world.

Thank. You.

So. True.

YES THIS THANK YOU.

I have a long rant about educational privilege but I am tired and in pain and just don’t have the energy to write it up right now. But if you know enough about fractions to bake a cake or alter a recipe (e.g. two 1/4 tsp. is 1/2 tsp.) then you not only know math but you use it regularly. And there are people in our developed, first world countries, who don’t know that much. So please stop.

where do i go from here?

Surprise Feels Attack!

I adore Sanditon, but I miss these girls. <3

Flawless Comics - Captain Marvel [1]

This is the comic that really made them click for me. I never got it, couldn’t really get into a series, until Captain Marvel. Now I read five or six different comics each month. Thank you KSD and Carol!

#literally rewatched this about a hundred times over the last few hours #LOOK AT HOW FUCKING PROUD SHE IS OF HIM #because this is right after gates says she’s never seen a man willing to do that and how he deserves being able to have non-hidden kisses #and she just says she agrees and then looks at him with this BRILLIANT smile #like she’s so proud of him; so proud of THEM #because this big goofy idiot just risked his life to be with her because he wouldn’t give up #because he loves her too fucking much to not try everything at his disposal to save her#and because he absolutely will not let her die alone #and he’s still clearly riding on the high of being alive and her being there with him #you can tell it doesn’t phase him at all #because castle is the kind of guy who doesn’t doubt his judgment and he will never quit on you no matter what #when he loves you he will go to the ends of the earth to keep you safe and with him #so he just shrugs because there was never a doubt for him that he’d be with her as that last minute counted down#there was never any question or hesitation on his behalf #he’s not proud of himself like she’s proud of him he’s just…happy he gets the girl #but it will never stop affecting beckett #his love and dedication and stubbornness when it comes to her will always get to her #like a punch to the gut it just takes her breath away#because she’s been so used to being the martyr; the independent self-sacrificer#and she still has the urge to be those things but he won’t let her #won’t let her drown in herself or give up or take an unnecessary blow #and even after everything i think it still sometimes knocks the wind out of her how clearly he loves her #and she’s thrilled with it; wrapped up in it #so happy to live in moments like these where she can see so clearly that he’s hers and she’s his and this was always meant to be #i just #THIS SHOW IS EMOTIONALLY SCARRING [x]

so… I’m convincing myself Scarlett/Natasha is wearing an arrow necklace on the set of Captain America 2:

of course it may be Scarlett’s and it may be something other than an arrow (lol pervy things, IDK) as well. just throwing it out there XD

I just screamed at Amanda in a text message.

There was a lot of text screaming while I was at work.

*rolls off the planet into the sun*

The bottom right one, though. For reals. How do I get my legs/butt to look like that? Also, I am feeling an overwhelming urge to chop my hair to that length.
