Don't tell my dad or brother! (They're both electrical engineers.)

ppl on here get sooo mad when someone says you should be a little bit grateful for lgbt allies like sorry but i have homophobic overbearing parents & im used to people thinking gays are freaks and “groomers” so the concept of “cishet people who are willing to ally themselves with the lgbt liberation movement” is something i dont think ill ever take for granted. but thats just me i guess idk. yeah its praising the bare minimum but receiving the bare minimum allyship is a blessing when im used to deeply entrenched homophobia. i’d rather shit talk the people who actually want me dead instead of the cishets showing up at pride to day drink with drag queens. what does ridiculing them do except ruin the vibe :|

Two galaxies, a galaxy cluster, supernova remnant, double star system, and planetary nebula are represented.

One or two years ago I got a spam email with these two sentences in them and they’ve been a part of my vocabulary ever since

Limits for quantum computers: Perfect clocks are impossible

There are different ideas about how quantum computers could be built. But they all have one thing in common: you use a quantum physical syst

The research team was able to show that since no clock has an infinite amount of energy available (or generates an infinite amount of entropy), it can never have perfect resolution and perfect precision at the same time. This sets fundamental limits to the possibilities of quantum computers.

Awwweeee 🥹💖💖💖 I am so glad I met you!

reblog if you've made a good friend on tumblr.

I feel you... I am a bit younger, but I have lost so many years too, and with that I feel like I've lost myself too. Something that has helped me is to lower my expectations and slow down in life, and to allow myself to grieve those lost times. Also to allow myself to be disappointed, and than forgive yourself. You don't have to be anything right now, you just have to exist and keep pushing forward. And have the belief that the answer will reveal itself to you the more you allow yourself to experience life. At least, that is what I am hoping for.

Also don't forget you are way stronger than you think! 💖

i KNOW that 25 is not old i KNOW that i have more time to be someone but i also feel like i have lost so much youth to my mental illness and grief and that in itself is part of the reason why i cannot bring myself to be anything

Listen to me babe. Failure is normal and part of the process. If you never fail, you're not making true progress. You're just regurgitating prior process.

I don't know why society is so obsessed with perfectionism and never making a mistake ever, but that's not how it works. You're going to forget to upload an assignment. You're going to miserably fail a test. You're going to get a speeding ticket. You're going to make your little sister sad. You're going to kill some plants. You're going to get that quiz back you were so confident about and realize that you got 1 question right. Those moments are when true learning take place instead of memorization and regurgitation.

This is why in math they make you show all your work and on science and reading they made you explain all your answers and choices with a paragraph. It highlights your thought process so you can analyze where you were right and where you were wrong. And it's ok to be wrong! No one is ever right all the time.

Don't let anyone shame you for being bad at something. Remember that they had to learn to walk and chew and talk and write and read and they didn't succeed the first few times in any of that. We should be building people up and acknowledging their faults as a way to learn and grow, not as a source of shame and despair.
