What's going on right now in the Republic of Georgia / Sakartvelo? A new legislation just passed that official bans - human rights essentially, gay-marriage, gender-firming care and surgery, any 'promotion' of queer identity. Soon after this legislation passed, trans model Kesaria Abramidze was murdered as a direct consequence of this.

Why is this super extra bad? Besides the several many lives at stake, the safety of queer families and the lethality of hate crimes, Georgia's wish to enter the EU is falling to a complete simmer due to this, soon to be extinguished completely. Here is an article about the international reaction to this legislation:

International Reactions on Adoption of Anti-LGBT Legislation

On September 17, the Georgian Parliament adopted the anti-LBTQ+ legislative package in its third hearing with 84 votes in favor, 0 votes aga

What can you do to help? The biggest thing we currently rely on is international push back especially from the EU members and the possible overturn of this in the upcoming election. It does not help that this law is implemented due to greedy fucks and Russian puppets in Georgia who benefit from this. source:

Bidzina Ivanishvili: Georgia’s billionaire ‘puppet master’ betting the house on Moscow

As Georgians rally against an illiberal new law seen as a tilt to the Kremlin, its oligarch sponsor may consider it essential self-defence

You might hear many refer to this as 'Russian law' which is due to the fact that Georgia, under this puppet-leadership mimics Russian laws like the 'Foreign Agents Law' that was put into work only a few months prior the law assumes 'only receiving foreign funds makes an organization a foreign agent.' and I don't think I have to explain how horrendous that is.

We also rely on our president to veto the legislation before it goes into 'full effect' (though the consequences and effect have already begun) but even with this the political party which instated this legislation argue to over-ride her veto in parliament. source:

Georgian trans model murdered after parliament passes ‘anti-LGBTQ+’ law

Tributes paid to Kesaria Abramidze as ruling party and allies are accused of state campaign against minorities

The most important thing right now is vocal pushback, and public support of the queer community. with what happened to Kesaria (may she rest in peace) a lot of trans people are fearing for their lives, and queer families no longer can remain in their own country if they want to continue to be themselves in any way.

Spread love, a lot of it like as much as you can offer to queer Georgians everywhere.

so id say my tumblr network (as in, the people who tend to see/interact with my posts) is pretty mathy. i wanted to see how people interact w math and how they like to learn about it :) (and: maybe do something with that on my blog!!! wouldnt that be fun)

polls have a limited amount of characters i can add per option, so ill clarify some concepts here:

informal education is learning via a coordinated effort by an instance/expert outside of school system (e.g. voluntary lectures, social media posts, museum visits, youtube videos or similar). by informal i dont mean "its school but the teacher is chill" or independent research!!

formal education is learning through a school system (usually mandatory/with a teacher or professor present)

i refer to any education you do without making use of coordinated programmes as independent research, so that would be just you picking up an advanced math book to educate yourself, or perhaps scanning wikipedia, or emailing math profs with questions

when i talk about reading math in a general context, i mean that the material discusses math for a broad audience, so it doesnt talk about super niche specific mathematical concepts, and doesn't contain any complicated formulas/proofs/math speech

please do elaborate in the tags!!!

purely operating on carbs coffee and force of will these days

do you ever feel the need to take ur brain out and give it a rinse to get all the bad vibes and sad gunk off bc same

Evil math suggestion: do a population size word problem that explicitly states that *each pair of cats* can have 4 kittens *per year*, while never mentioning that each pair of cats stops existing the second they have kittens.

I know how cats work. If a pair of cats has 4 kittens, you should have 6 cats, not 4. And the next year you should have 3 new litters rather than 2. My teacher at the time thought I was nuts for complaining about this, and I just thought about it again and realized it was both evil math and cat math, so it fits here.

Seriously, y’all, if you’re going to set up a problem like that, you can’t just assume I’ll know that the cats immediately die upon giving birth, because that’s not even slightly how cats work, nor would you assume it was if you didn’t know anything about cats. That’s such a weird assumption to make when teaching your students a new concept.
