Them : What do you even do in graduate-level math?
Me: Invent symbols no one understands, stare at whiteboards for hours, and occasionally cry into my coffee.

One of the most frustrating things about being ADHD is the way hyperfixations and skill levels work.
So I, an ADHD person, will get obsessed with A Thing. I will research, I will practice. I'll check out library books, watch YouTube videos, seek out podcasts, all to learn everything I can about The Thing.
Thiat Thing is often a skill or hobby. Painting, writing, candlemaking, baking, mixology, tea blending.
But the thing with ADHD is that you'll be obsessed with it only to a certain skill level. Something where all the mystery is gone. It's not as fun once the learning part is over and it's just boring practice to get better.
Then abruptly, you'll lose interest and move to another fixation.
That skill level you've earned may be higher than your average person with a passing interest. But it's also lower than someone who specializes in said thing, who has put in those hard hours of practice and work.
So you start just forming this miscellaneous collection of things that you're good enough at to earn some praise, but still leave you feeling like you're just never *quite* good enough at anything because you can't just choose anything.
And you want to pick a Thing. To find Your Thing. The thing that fits, that you can finally excel at. But you just can't seem to.
there should be a tax that youtubers pay where 1.5% of all of their revenue goes back to Kevin Macleod for basically supplying YouTube with it’s own soundtrack.
These are so fun to make
I wish I could sleep with hartshorne under my pillow and wake up with the wonders in my brain already
the NON-GENDERED URGE to run off into the woods with a whiteboard and an algebraic geometry textbook and come back six months later, having been properly functorized (grothendieck'ed, even) by the whole experience
Prof after saying maybe we should be teaching these to first year undergrads, the calculation is really simple but they might struggle with understanding forms - stuck on said calculation for the next 40 minutes of class.
Why are mathematicians* so USELESS at simple arithmetic? You're telling me I possess knowledge that would get me hailed as a lord 2000 years ago, but if I had two bags of wheat in one hand and three in the other, I would say there's six bags? What the fuck
*it's me, I'm mathematicians
Ooohhhh that's quite something.
Fun scary fact: Let g: ℝ→ℝ be given by g(x)=x if x∈ℚ and g(x)=0 if x∉ℚ. Then the function f: ℝ->ℝ given by f(x)=g(x)tan(x) is differentiable at x=0. In fact it is only differentiable at x=0
Thanks! Yall keep switching to a language I don't speak every 20 seconds and I can't bother to be involved anymore

I'm a huge hypocrite, if we're being honest. If I haven't had a beverage and it's been dark for too long I'll be like "nothing has ever been good and I shall die ;__;" but as soon as I get a little sip of water and it's sunny outside I'm like nvm I'm thriving I love life :)
But if my houseplants do that exact same thing, I'll call evert single one of them an overdramatic bitch.
