I am profoundly math disabled.
I never moved past 2nd grade math.
I have no idea how I was passed through high school without it. I passed in classes I barley attended.
And I frankly believe I was being made to take far more math than I should have had to.
(Some) teachers saw it too

terminal Math Brain truly is a cancer that is eating the world
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

Like a cult, adoption relies on unquestioned belief, emotional control, and the erasure of identity. It demands silence around grief and loss. But once the truth is revealed, the structure can be dismantled. 🥚
