We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world. She can’t cut my hair but that’s her hair. She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she’s going out with a command that it is hers. She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives.
Will Smith surprisingly cool. Nice. Go Willow.

- He raises a really great point. What would it mean to believe very early that my body was mine. That it’s not for anyone or for any particular purpose other than to be mine until I decide otherwise.

I was damned near 30 before I could believe my body belonged to me & me alone. Dear people who take an issue with this,
Let the Smiths do right by their babies & shut the fuck up about how you think they should parent.

In the academic world Dover Publications is widely known for publishing standard texts in mathematics. To me they’re known for publishing books with the best cover designs around, which truly make them stand out among the boring rest.
These are fantastic. If you can make a math book look inviting … well, you’ve done something special.
I kid, of course. Math is awesome. I’m only allowed to give math a hard time because I am the child of mathematicians.

What a sad era when it is easier to smash an atom than a prejudice.

I like thinking about infinity. Or at least I used to when I thought about Maths properly.
