Cemetery at Cathedral of St. John in Providence, RI. Poe & Lovecraft both loved to wander here. Lovecraft even took a date here once & told her scary stories til she fled in terror
He considered it a successful date
Great place for me to catch up on the @lovecraftezine podcast
@sonukg4india Area of square = (5m)², or 25m²
Adjoining triangle is isosceles:
side a=5m
side b=4m
side c=5 m
Divide into two equal right triangles:
b=(4m)/2
c=5m
(c²)-(b²)=a²
(25m² )-(4m²)=21m²
h=sqrt(21m²)=4.583m
A=b*h
2(4.583m)=9.166m²
A=25m²+9.166m²
25m²+9.166m²=34.166m²
@JIMMYEDGAR And please understand that I’m not taking the piss here. Really. I do think the idea has a good deal of truth in it, and I (or my string of tenants) have had anxiety about this for a long time
But it is a logical extension of the argument, which makes it all the more horrific
@JIMMYEDGAR And you’ll soon hand off the work, just they did, and they will get credit for all the work they didn’t do, just as you did. So, it seems to me, the only way for you to deserve any recognition for this work is to rationally and genuinely debunk it. 5/
@MeghanEMurphy Sorry the medically valid experiences of millions (Billions?) of people cause you so much anxiety you have to spend time ranting about it online. Maybe take a mental health day. Better yet, find a therapist. It’ll be good for you.
And the rest of us
@MeghanEMurphy If you lived at any other time in history (or in many other places in the world), you wouldn’t be allowed to vote, own property, express opinions, or do many other things you take for granted. And many women died from health issues met with a “you’re making it up” or “toughen up”
@H0H0v x-y=z
x+y+z=10
Replace z with x-y:
x+y+x-y=10
+y cancels out -y:
x+x=10
Simplify:
2x=10
Divide by the common denominator to reduce:
2x/2=10/2
x=5
Replace x with 5:
z=5-y
Because +y will always cancel out -y, y can be any real number:
0≥y≤0
Since January 6th, a lot has changed. I used to just spout off at the mouth about things based on not much else but feeling. Now that I’m older, more mature, and have gone to therapy, I can calmly reflect on things before giving my opinion. Such is the case with my thoughts on all the recent ICE tragedies.
Just trying to be a patriot and stand up for America, the country I love. Lord knows there’s people out there who don’t value our way of life! SKEEEWW
@threesfusion@neybitxh The vagueness was a wise choice. She was a brilliant writer, & the novel still holds up. I’m only saying the trope of lightning-harnessing machinery isn’t the huge leap it’s made out to be
But I do prefer the fire & reverse decomposition scene from the 1910 Edison Pictures film
@threesfusion@neybitxh In chapter 2, paragraphs 9 and 10, Frankenstein speaks explicitly about electricity and Galvanism.
In the famous “dreary night in November” scene, he also talks of infusing the “spark of being into the lifeless thing”.
Promethean? Definitely. Galvanic? A reasonable inference
@threesfusion@neybitxh If I recall correctly, Frankenstein realizes (basically reverse engineers) the secret of reanimation while spending the night in a crypt to watch bodies decompose. Mary Shelley remains vague about how the Creature is animated, but mentions chemical processes, implying Galvanism
@threesfusion@neybitxh The novel explicitly mentions Galvanism, which is the production of electricity through chemical processes. Luigi Galvani, the phenomenon’s namesake, studied this in the context of biology, believing it was the “élan vital”, or vital force separating animate from inanimate matter
Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.
If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

@Mamabenergy2 While, technically, he didn’t mention black people, he did immediately accuse Obama, Reid, etc. of stealing “a white person’s slot”. Not another qualified person’s slot, mind you. A white person’s.
Charlie’s masked slipped for a moment there. But, then, I always saw through it.
I don’t care about an innocent Black people killed. They were celebrate the murder.. and they will raise money for the killers. And they were demonized the victims.. but I expect for you to feel sympathy for Charlie Kirk and his family.
