don’t you guys get tired of being mad and having takes all the time? wouldn’t you rather make yourself a mug of hot cocoa and solve some nice relaxing differential equations and contemplate the timeless mystery of how macroscopic physics emerges from microscopic quantum garbage

by mute i mean i make extensive use of mutewords, not (just) people. i almost always max out the 200-word muteword limit on my main account. i mute everything pandemic related, all us politics, all us activism.
