Homotopy theory is hard, as is grad school*. He/Him. *Fuck! I actually did it!

@MrsCMFrancis I agree, do your own research. Close to 100% of car crash fatalities involve people wearing seatbelts. It’s not the crash which kills them: the seatbelts are the real cause. When I break I feel the seatbelt press on me: I’ll listen to my body over big seatbelt

@IwriteOK To be fair, it came after a generation of prime time tv like House MD, Law and Order, The West Wing, etc, in which the edgy characters clearly read as a vehicle for the writers to editorialise or just say the shit they can’t say at home

@matthras I don’t like to snark on math twitter, but when it’s the matlab account I don’t feel much guilt

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

My passion is intuitive animations

[MATLAB @MATLAB]

Visualizing square roots!

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

@matthras Very fair, but this animation doesn’t tell me anything at all about square roots. I’m confused about what it’s even meant to be getting across

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

Did art for the first time in a decade

At the age of thirty I just had the first emotionally deep chat with my dad. I’m genuinely giddy about this

Imo, you can’t Beat it. You’ll never be free of it. The only way to survive is to take the Boy in a Bubble approach and remove all triggers. As an addict, you will likely never be able to do a lot of your favourite things again. Some might, but they are lucky.

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

I’ll always tell as many people as I can: addiction is not a disease: it’s is a parasite which is renders you as pathetic and helpless as those ants with their brains invaded by wasps

Addiction as a fight is kind of sexy: it’s a battle of wills, one you can win, a test of mental fortitude. In my experience it’s as glamorous and overwhelming as a tape worm which makes you shit yourself halfway through a 14 hour flight.

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

Im often a really shit person because of this, but I try to be aware of it. To (in the most charitable read) ride this to a full article in a national masthead aimed at shutting in vulnerable people is simply disgusting. Fuck!

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

Fuck this shit! The fucking gumption of people who experience a condition, still do ok, and go on to sell the authenticity of their diagnosis in order to push cuts to support of others, is abhorrent. Where is the self-awareness? How naked is the greed??

[The Australian @australian]

I have ADHD but I am not disabled, I am not a victim. We need to direct our conversation, attention and – most important – funding to the right causes.

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

Like, especially on the anxiety/depression front, I have a strong impulse to reject other people’s expressions of reduced ability. I insist on forcing myself, and impulsively want the same of others. It’s very very unhealthy.

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

As an Australian, I also have to emphasise how hard it already is to be assessed for autism/adhd as an adult. It took me four years after an assessing psych recommended that I be assessed. If I’d been treated and supported in this time, a lot of things in my life would be easier

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

I would never allow myself to give these impulses enough weight to think I should put them out there in this way. I know I’m wrong. This is a clear example of a member of a topical out-group selling themselves to disingenuous actors in order to profit on culture wars.

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

@keysmashbandit If I were telling someone not to self harm, I’d lean on these three impacts. Do you want to feel comfortable wearing a t-shirt any time in the next year? Then don’t do that! Do you want to explain to your mum how you got that scar? Then don’t do that!

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

@keysmashbandit A lot of metrics measuring the impact of mental illness are based on how the accompanying behavioural change harms social interactions, job stability, and relationships

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

I simply don’t understand how these accounts who post basic definitions manage to get so much engagement

[Dr Finished and Tired @DoneWithMaths]

I love the juxtaposition on this broken site. I can’t speak to the above reference being useful at all, but the difference in effort and detail when compared to the below is undeniable
