a word to Kaylin about Mona Drafter

✴️ narrator: "Mona Drafter WAS, as it turned out, the Whorse of Babylon"
🐴 oh gaaaaaaawd
🐴 and you stuck me with Loki for a dad, no wonder everyone hates me
@bombshellbun yeah it looks like it CAN be done but the one time we tried using CygwinX or whatever we tried, it didn't work
math
@fibonacci_reminder yeah sorry, I ain't good at math (especially right now, haha)
but I really dig that one can basically redefine the elements of Euclidean geometry, schoolbook geometry on the vast infinite plane that seemed so amazing when I was a kid, to work with hyperbolae inside a circle, and get basically a one-to-one mapping
that's really cool
math
hey math is cool right?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincar%C3%A9_disk_model
look at this stuff
the "Poincare disk model". I confess I'm not up on the kinda abstract math needed to understand this completely
but it shows how "infinite" plane geometry, Euclidean geometry, can be basically mimicked inside a limited area. inside a single circle
assistance request, discussion of shitty living situations
So, uh, we desperately need help. There's a lot of stuff going on and I figure I'll go over it:
First, @pillowcat and I are currently living in a *shit* situation. It's a house that got like 1/10th of the way through a remodel and then abandoned, the toilet barely works, the hot water barely works, the floors are nasty. We can barely afford to eat b/c I'm disabled and haven't managed to get on disability yet, and Tess is having trouble job hunting. And it's REALLY hard for me to get medical supplies down here. We really, really want to get out of this situation and out of this state but we need enough money to eat and on top of it some padding to allow Tess to go job hunt in the area we want to move to.
Secondly, my GFs, @Tryn and @Siruco are currently in the process of getting kicked out of their house. They have nowhere to go besides to a similarly shitty situation that'd put them well away from all of their support systems and any chance of getting back out. So we want to get them in with us in a better situation, but first Tess and I have to be in a good enough situation to help that happen. Please, please help. paypal.me/nautilee every lil bit helps, and please please boost this around. We're all pretty desperate.
