Hey, cute hair, KaeLyn!
Thanks! The long part is actually chin-length. It’s pulled back in that pic.
Ah! I thought you’d had a super-slick cut!
This edition of Mystery Solvers makes me unreasonably happy that I still remember algebra! Thanks for the much-needed Monday ego boost.
Ooh I just read about Hildegard. She was pretty cool – considering she was a woman practicing medicine and writing about it in the middle ages! She focused on holistic approaches and the concept of “veriditas” (greenness, or life-force). Also she wrote a book in a made-up language called “Lingua Ignota” (Unknown Language), which is thought to be one of the first artificially constructed languages.
I didn’t know that national hike day existed, but I approve. Hildegard would approve. I will go on a rain hike tomorrow to celebrate greenness and veriditas.
And! There’s a cool novel about her by Nicola Griffith, who also wrote the queer sci-fi novel Ammonite:

Cool – thanks for the book reference!
lolololol re: chart feelings
I’ve always hated these types of Algebra things. Like if I had 10 pineapples in a bag what’s the chance of pulling out an orange if the train left at 12:30 at 40mph going NE? And I’m over here going who wants 10 pineapples anyway. I mean you can’t even fit 10 pineapples in a grocery bag. #goodbyemathskills
So, like, no one wants to split a pizza with me, I guess?
I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE SOME PIZZA. Vegan cheese and lots of mushrooms please.
Love the little maths problem – thanks for putting it in :D
