homophobes are not allowed to use computers because the inventor of the computer was gay

writingandnerdshit

People think this is just a joke but Alan Turing was the inventor of the computer and his sexuality was illegal in his time (which was not even 100 years ago) and he was arrested. They put him on drugs that destroyed his genius brain and committed suicide a year after being covicted. He was gay and a war hero as well. He helped to break enigma which was a German code that they put all their messages through. He shorted WWII by two years and saved so many lives in the process.

Friendly reminder that if not for Alan Turing you wouldn’t be reading this post and we might be ruled by the nazis

“Our short-term goals are to get folks home for the holidays”

• There are more African American men incarcerated in the U.S. than the total prison populations in India, Argentina, Canada, Lebanon, Japan, Germany, Finland, Israel and England, combined.

• Ziegler, a PhD recipient now based in Oakland, explains that a July tweet proposing the app idea gained traction, inspiring him to pursue the concept in a real way.

• While Appolition.us is another towering extension of Ziegler’s contributions towards aiding marginalized people, he knows it’s a small step towards bringing light and hope to the trying effects mass incarceration presents.

As has been mentioned in the notes a few times, the money only goes towards bailing out people charged with misdemeanors, so there is no need for concern about “what if I’m bailing out a murderer”, etc.

The website is appolition.us

A reminder that turning in assignments for partial credit is better than not turning them in at all. It is. Even if you think you’ve done a bad job and are ashamed of your work, or it’s way overdue, you take whatever you can get. Partial credit dramatically improves your grade over a zero, and I’m always astounded by how often even the smartest kids don’t really comprehend that. 60% is worlds better than 0%. Even 10% is going to help you. Letter grades are misleading and are not created equal. “F"s are mathematically valuable. Turn that late assignment in.

This goes for so many things in life tbh.

Can’t pay the full amount you owe on a bill? Pay as much as you can each month. Most places just wanna know you’re making a good faith effort. You can usually even call and ask for a smaller minimum monthly payment plan until you catch up, so that maybe you won’t be getting late fees added on to your balance. It’s worth calling to see. 

Third time you’ve had to reschedule that doctor’s appointment? Oh well. Your doc probably just wants to make sure you make it in to their office at all. Keep trying.

Half-assing is always better than no-assing folks. I know lots of us are anxiety-ridden perfectionists and it feels like if we can’t do everything exactly right on the first try we just shouldn’t bother. But that’s not true. 

My mom likes to say “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly” to emphasize that it’s okay to enjoy doing things even if you’re not good at them. The point is doing them. Make that shitty art project that makes you happy. Learn that new skill even if you suck at it at first. Make it to under half of the events of that club or organization you want to be a part of but can’t fully commit to. It’s okay. You don’t have to do it perfectly to do it at all.

Hi there! Can you please pray for me and my faith? I’ve been very distant from God recently and I’m finding some trouble reconnecting. Could you please also pray that I am reminded of God’s love and mercy and compassion. Thank you so much and God bless

God of Love,
You are as close to all of us as our own breath – yet as distant from us as the farthest star. When we feel absent from you, help us to feel thankful even for that absence – for it can fill us with longing for you. 

This person comes to you with a desire to reconnect; bless that longing and make it fruitful, o God. When the time is right, whirl into their life and reinvigorate them. Let them feel you close to them, embracing them with your Spirit of life and joy. 

Let them also remember your love, your mercy, your compassion, o you who are Love itself. As this person goes through the Advent season, may they remember how you who are all-powerful and eternal chose to become a vulnerable, powerless, finite infant, born to a poor single mother – because of your deep and abiding love for us. 

Thank you for that love. Thank you for your constant presence with us, even when we do not feel it. Be patient with this child of yours; renew them and fill them with your compassion.

Amen.
