We are The Storm System, and this is our blog. Here you will find accounts of our shared lives living multiple, posts made by all of the individuals in the system, pictures, videos, journaling, and discussion. This is a personal blog, shared between about five separate individuals, so the content will vary greatly. Sometimes it will be very upset, and very triggery.

We would /LOVE/ to answer /any/ questions you might have, so long as you are respectful, and our ask box is always open. If you would like to message any one of us in particular, please just note that in your questions. If nothing is specified we will assume it is for the system as a whole. Please check with our "FAQ" page before diving in, although we will answer repeat questions as well. Thank you for stopping by!

Before I do this

thisselfishsmile:

I need to state outright that I am doing it for selfish purposes, and Alaistor can suck it if he wants to keep complaining.

I do not see myself returning properly to this Tumblr any time soon. Or any other Tumblr, for that matter. I am no longer out as often as running a Tumblr necessitates. I can occasionally be found on Skype, my e-mail is still open, I don’t respond well to texts anymore but my brothers will respond on my behalf if you text (and let you know I’m fine, or carry over messages, as is appropriate). I also get on this Tumblr to check my ask box about once a week.

If anyone is particularly concerned about my health or about the continued existence of the body, I am giving you this:

Alaistor’s good feels blog

Please do not bug him too much. He doesn’t want this to be well-known, and it’s not designed as a place for him to vent or to express himself in the usual manner. It is the quintessential blog. He has made it for himself, to keep a sort of journal of his progress in his own journey toward self-improvement. It is only updated every other day, when he gets back from parkour practise.

I figure it’d be nice to have, though, in case people are still worried.

I will be reblogging this on the shared blog, for those who are concerned about us as a whole. I would also like to state that, comparitively, we are doing well.

Also it’s Alaistor’s birthday tomorrow actually bug him go go now before he makes me delete this.

“Are you angry? Punch a pillow. Was it satisfying? Not hardly. These days people are too angry for punching. What you might try is stabbing. Take an old pillow and lay it on the front lawn. Stab it with a big pointy knife. Again and again and again. Stab hard enough for the point of the knife to go into the ground. Stab until the pillow is gone and you are just stabbing the earth again and again, as if you want to kill it for continuing to spin, as if you are getting revenge for having to live on this planet day after day, alone.”
— Miranda July (excerpt from No One Belongs Here More Than You)

Why does “atheist gay” sound so funny in my head?

Like, “gay atheist” sounds right and flows a lot better off the tongue, but “atheist gay” sounds silly and fragmented

gaytheist?

Probably because ‘gay’ sounds weird as a noun.

This guy was an amazing scientist, one which I have been involved in campaigns regarding e.g. getting an apology for the persecution he suffered as a gay man (he underwent female hormone therapy as an alternative to imprisonment then died of cyanide poisoning / suspected suicide). He is also a Manchester legend, and his statue sits in a park within the gay village here.

Because I am helping to promote this in my workplace and across schools, I am belatedly posting it here in case anyone wants to do it. It is a fun and beautiful way of doing science. Certain places across the world have also signed up, so you don’t have to be local to get involved:

@TuringSunflower or at the Website.

Although get cracking (pardon the pun) there is only a few days left.

Alan Turing is famous for his code-breaking skills which helped to crack the Enigma Code during the Second World War, and as a founder of computer science and artificial intelligence, but later he became fascinated with the mathematical patterns found in stems, leaves and seeds - a study known as phyllotaxis. The spirals on sunflower heads often conform to a Fibonacci number, and Turing was one of a number of scientists who tried to explain ‘Fibonacci phyllotaxis’, but he died before the work was complete.

Mathematicians at The University of Manchester hope to analyse thousands of sunflower heads to test the extent to which they follow the Fibonacci rule, to explain why this happens and the reasons why they sometimes don’t. The results will be announced during Manchester Science Festival (27 October – 4 November 2012) alongside a host of cultural events across Greater Manchester to celebrate Turing’s legacy in his Centenary year.

A hundred years after Turing was born families, schools, community groups and businesses will be encouraged to plant over 3000 sunflowers to celebrate his work and help solve a mathematical riddle that he worked on before his death in 1954.

I studied about him last semester—endlessly fascinating person (with so much in his life that should never have happened. ;_;), and brilliant work.

COOL SCIENCE and an AMAZING man.
