There IS Actually A Reason Why Seconds And Minutes (and Degrees For Geometry) Are In Base 60 Instead

there IS actually a reason why seconds and minutes (and degrees for geometry) are in base 60 instead of base 10, and if you want to blame someone for that, blame the very specific way Babylonians counted with their fingers.

Dreams

@adrienagresteseptember2021

.

It wasn’t much of a task. They were supposed to write down their childhood dream for class.

But for some reason Adrien had still struggled with the task.

He watched a lot of old recordings and looked at his drawings and some pictures.

In the end, he was satisfied with the outcome of his research.

And Mme. Bustier was now asking everyone what their childhood dream was-is, it depends.

She started with Nino, logically.

“I wanted to be a bubble breathing dinosaur.”

Nino earned a few chuckles for that.

“What a nice dream, Nino. Adrien?”

“Oh, I always wanted to be what my parents want me to be and to make them proud of me.”

“How nice of you, but do you also have a childhood dream of what you wanted to be for yourself and not your parents?”

“I just want to be the perfect son for them and make them proud.”

“Alright. Marinette, what is your childhood dream?”

Adrien felt like he said something wrong, maybe he understood the task wrong.

“I dreamt of being the knitting fairy.”

“Well, you’re on a good way to become a sewing fairy. Alya?”

“I’m not sure miss, I can’t remember and neither can my family.”

“That’s alright, Alya, don’t worry. Ivan?”

“I wanted to have long and pretty hair like my mother.”

“Your hair may not be very long but it’s very pretty. Nathaniel, what about you?”

“I dreamed about being a comedian.”

No, he did understand the task right and he did as told.

“I have to say, some of your comics are pretty funny. Juleka?”

“Do I have to?”

“No, of course not. If you don’t feel comfortable sharing then that’s completely fine. Rose, do you want to share?”

“I wanted to be an angel because they help people like doctors or fairies.”

Maybe Mme Bustier didn’t like his answer, but he fulfilled the task.

Mme Bustier smiles sadly at that.

“You would’ve been the greatest angel. Max?”

“Roboter.”

“I hope building one is as good. Kim?”

“...”

“He fantasized about being a model.”

It was an interesting thought.

“I don’t know if this was you place to answer Alix, but your turn now.”

“I wanted to be the best at everything I want break every existing rule or boundary.”

“Then nothing much changed. Myléne?”

“I-i often pretended to be a plant.”

“What a beautiful dream. Okay, Chloé?”

“I wanted to be like my mommy.”

There’s it again! The same expression Mme Bustier had at his answer!

He knew Chloé and her mother didn’t have the best relationship so it was understandable.

But what is wrong with his answer?

He doesn’t have much time to dwell on it as the class broke out into laughter over Sabrina’s childhood dream wanting to be a Rock’n’Roll legend, not being able to imagine it.

Day 15

Wednesday

Free Day

@adrienagresteseptember2021

.

Adrien and I are walking, arms linked, wearing super cool thorn leather jacket and reflecting sunglasses.

As we walk by you we stop.

“You’re Adrien fucking Agreste!”

“I love you!”

“Give Plagg cheese!”

“Marinette is la-“

“Nu-uh” I shake my head “today’s our free day.”

Adrien continues, “So no angst or reveals or anything for me.”

We continue walking, Adrien showing the peace sign and a middle finger while I simply go with the Rock’n’Roll sign on both hands.

And sunshine child gets the last words as we wander of into the sunset in slow motion.

“Today’s our free day, bitches.”

12 Palestinians have drowned in the sea in north Gaza while trying to get to airdropped aid.

Do you understand how desperate someone has to be for them to run into the water to get a damaged box of god knows what?

What could have been going through their minds when they jumped into the water? Their children's faces when they come home with a few cans of food? The promise of the family eating together?

I honestly can't even fathom what other levels of cruelty Palestinians are supposed to endure before anything tangible is done about this genocide, of which this engineered mass starvation is only one part.

Nathalie: Well done, Sir! You didn’t akumatize anything in 2 weeks, 6 hours, 39 minutes and 41 seconds! Here you go.

Gabriel: Is this a Sticker?

Nathalie: Not just any sticker, it has ‘Me-wow’ on it, as a Cat Noir pun, you know, because you haven’t tried to get his Miraculous in 2 weeks, 6 hours 40 minutes and 2 seconds!

Gabriel: I am not in a nursery.

Nathalie: In case you don’t want it, I can always just give it to Adrien, he is ecstatic every time I give him one.

Adrien: *standing in the door way with excitement all over his face* A sticker? For me? With a pun? A cat pun? A-are you serious Nathalie?

Nathalie: *gestures to Adrien with a ‘told you so’ look*

Gabriel: No! Back off! It’s mine! I earned this!

Adrien: *tears are coming* Bu-but... I...

Nathalie: Here Adrien, for you. Because you’re paw-sitively claw-some.

Adrien: Oh, thank you Nathalie! You’re the greatest person alive! Here, I have something for you too, I drew a picture of us as sticker-superheroes!
