the world's smallest carnivore is called the "least weasel" ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ i'm dying but like if it's the smallest carnivore then it sure is the least amount of weasel you can have ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
I feel like this is also a really good metaphor for why t4t is so safe and comforting for a lot of trans people

I think math teacher don't focus enough on history. Like, yeah, Abel results on the convergence of series are great and all, but did you know Cauchy hated Abel and is indirectly responsible for his death ?
Galois was a math wizard and died in a duel. But did you know he also was kind of a leftist, got thrown out of École Normale Supérieure because of that, joked about killing Louis Philippe and probably died because of that ?
Gauss is cool, but did you know he was saved by Sophie Germain, discovered at the same time Sophie Germain was a woman, and wrote one of the coolest letter blaming "our customs and prejudices" for not allowing women in math ?
Urysohn's lemma is cool, but did you did you know he tragically died while swimming with Alexandrov ? Oh, also they were both gay and in love. And later Alexandrov had a relation with Kolmogorov
There's tons of other stories, even minor ones (like how Italian mathematicians argued against some notations in vector calculus because they were used by Germans). Focusing only on how "abstract" and "pure" math is, is pedantic. Mathematicians, on the other side, are way funnier and not just lost in their abstract and complicated world
Can you talk to men in a non-sexually charged way for a single second
Found another idiotic accounting mistake from my predecessor that I have to fix and I was like "WILL THE SPECTER OF THAT MAN'S INCOMPETENCE EVER CEASE TO HAUNT ME" and my coworker was like "Why do you talk like that"
being a self indulgent faggot and using greek statues as pose refs for self portraits (◡ ‿ ◡ ✿)
