yuri doesn't just make you human, it makes you very good at math apparently

Gengen Kusano (G.K.): I've been thinking, differentials really are yuri, aren't they.

Rikimaru Mizoguchi (R.M.): Differentials.

G.K.: Differentials, mathematical ones. Let's say we have a function. Like "X = 2Y". If you define one of the values, it defines the other one as well, right? In other words, one of them depends on the other. That's yuri, isn't it. A function is a pairing. You get it, right?

G.K.: A differential represents how f(x) changes with respect to changes of X. When one of the women is going through a change, how does that change her partner — to answer that you need to calculate the derivative of the function.

Iori Miyazawa (I.M.): Yuri can be represented with formulas, you're saying.

G.K.: You can model yuri with a differential equation. What do the function represent — for starters, mental state. Happiness, anger, there is a multitude of dimensions. X and Y, a function of the feelings of them both. A function that expresses what one of them feels when the other one experiences something. Or you can also represent various situations with functions. For example, how does one of them react when the other one calls her. What does one of them do if the other one gives her chocolate on Valentine's Day. Or maybe a probability space.

If one were to become a writer, what would happen to the other one — describing such counterfactual space with functions. In "Weak Yuri" these functions would define the theoretical parameters of the characters. The theoretical model of one of the characters contains mental states, possibilities, and situations that can be expressed with functions, as well as different functions regarding the other character's theoretical model. The relationships between these functions give birth to new functions. That is functional yuri, from my "Weak Yuri" standpoint. In "Strong Yuri", these functions all exist in reality.

yu deng, the winner of the 2026 Fields Medal, the "nobel prize for mathematics", cites yuri manga in particular as helping ground and comfort him during his work

For comfort, Deng turned to manga. “I remember him at Courant. He was always holding a manga,” said Jalal Shatah (opens a new tab), a professor there who formerly chaired the math department. Deng particularly liked stories about deep friendship and romance and found himself drawn to a genre known as yuri, which focuses on those kinds of relationships between women — stories that “feel nice and warm and beautiful,” as he put it. They helped him be kinder to himself, “more comfortable with life.”

Back in my day, we had little coins called pennies. "Give me five pennies for a nickel," we'd say. On one side was a picture of Abe Lincoln and on the other side was another, smaller, picture of Lincoln.

I hate seeing international women’s day posts about whatever fictional characters from a video game or tv show. Can you instead name some of the real life human women and their contributions to that video game or tv show?

there was a huge moth at work today & our boss wanted to catch and pin it but we didn’t want him to kill it, so I quickly made a fake Wikipedia entry listing it as critically endangered, printed it, circled it in pink highlighter, and gave it to him. he reluctantly released the moth

My favorite weird website right now is antsauthority.com I’m pretty sure most articles and photos are AI generated but they’re so fucking funny and I’m in a good mood so they can have a half-pass for today. But they’re on thin ice.

I stumbled across this sepulture at the Montmartre Cemetery a while ago and had to draw it. It sits above the graves of François Cavé and his father in law Louis Lemaître, famous metalworkers of the mid-1800s. #art

Image description: drawing of the sepulture sitting above the graves of François Cavé and his father in law Louis Lemaître at the Montmartre Cemetery in Paris. The small building, likely once shiny silver cast iron, has aged and is now a beautiful rich light blue. The building faces forwards and a column stands on each side of closed double doors. The doors have the shapes of water droplets punched out in a symmetrical pattern, as if to represent tears. An arched botanical iron sculpture fills the space between the top of the doors and the roof of the building. At the center of this space, just below the tallest point of the botanical arch, is a sculpted iron face depicting a person crying, and the effect altogether is as if the tear shaped punches on the doors are the shed tears, now falling to the ground.

@mothmansbeard.bsky.social a #hellhouse themed valentines throwback. Happy second Halloween! See you at the Carmichael Manor?

Trigger warning: horror, mild gore, blood, and clowns. Image description: a top text bottom text Valentine’s Day meme featuring a clown from the movie hell house LLC. The image shows the clown from the shoulders up. The clown’s body faces right while his head faces the viewer. The clown’s face is a white full-head mask that has shiny black oversized painted on lips. The clown’s eyes are fully black and under each eye is painted a small black triangle. The clown has dried blood coming from the eyes and mouth. The meme text reads: caught me looking at you, valentine
