a regular person knows they are uncertain. a statistician knows their exact level of uncertainty to 3 decimal places. that’s the difference.

I wish more fantasy authors knew things about horses lol. like you would not just be able to steal someone's horse in front of them and ride it away from them, horses aren't a car. they have feelings and care about their people

the baby registry issue boils down to viewing women who ask directly for what they need as entitled.

no subtext, no people-pleasing. just a direct ask for what they need at a party that is supposed to be designed to give them what they need.

anyway in fiber craft updates, someone on r/knitting asked for everyone's favorite unhinged pattern, and now ravelry's "hot right now" is pushing out some real gems

Over the next four years, we’re going to hear endless variations of, “It’s not that serious,” or, “I can’t believe you’re talking about x when y exists.”

The thing about history is you often don’t know how important, useful, or insightful something is until later.

As someone whose worked with local, state, and federal government, if there is one thing I can assure you, it’s these politicians know exactly Americans are struggling and what the problems are. They’re not addressing it on purpose. They have all the data. They know.

As a Urogynecologist I cannot emphasize more strongly, literally am begging, women to learn about what actually happens and can happen to your body during chilbirth before getting pregnant. Don’t be blindsided. Go in prepared, ready, and certain in your choice to be a mother.

Women have stopped wearing proper undergarments so now all of our clothing has an ugly and unflattering profile.

If you’re in despair and looking for a place to direct your energy, UNIONIZE YOUR WORKPLACE.

Yes, you. Yes, now. If your industry or job is shut out of traditional unions, there are other ways to organize. Don’t let the bastards win. There are more of us than there are of them.

People act like refusing psychiatric meds when you’re suffering psychologically or emotionally is the same as refusing oxygen when you can’t breathe. These things are NOT the same. We have been convinced meds are the only solution to a bioproblem - but where are the outcomes???

the denigration of bdsm as insane freak shit is designed to render the women & gays who are subject to it, whether willingly OR unwillingly, so fundamentally unpersoned that they cannot be meaningfully assaulted. it turns all sexually othered people into landfill.

At the heart of statistical thinking is a sincere drive to understand what's actually true. It goes beyond playing around with numbers. It's about skillfully using numbers to probe the causal structure of the universe.

i think asking labor & delivery staff “can you put in an extra stitch for me?” even as a “joke” should be grounds for an immediate divorce, forfeiture of input over custody arrangements, and consent to at least 18 years of alimony + child support, and i’m not joking

for me to watch a TV show while I knit, it needs three crucial qualities:

- it needs to be pretty bad (this is huge)
- five or more seasons
- there must be a lone actor who is playing a character so unnecessarily cuntily that it almost breaks the fidelity of the show itself.
