Dyscalculia is a learning disability, a lot like dyslexia, but with math and numbers. Everyone knows what dyslexia is, but for some reason, dyscalculia isn’t as well known. I want people to know about this so no more kids are gonna believe uneducated adults who tells them that they’re just lazy and no more kids are going to think they’re just hopeless idiots when they try and try but just can’t understand. It happened to me, and I won’t let it happen to anyone else.

It’s surprisingly common and is often linked to ADHD. If you’ve ever had issues, look it up – you might find things fall into place for you, too.

  • Difficulty reading analog clocks[14]
  •  Inability to comprehend financial planning or budgeting, sometimes
    even at a basic level; for example, estimating the cost of the items in a
    shopping basket or balancing a checkbook.
  • Inconsistent results in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
  • Difficulty with multiplication, subtraction, addition, and division tables, mental arithmetic, etc.
  • Problems with differentiating between left and right.
  • A “warped” sense of spatial awareness, or an understanding of
    shapes, distance, or volume that seems more like guesswork than actual
    comprehension.
  • Difficulty with time, directions, recalling schedules, sequences of
    events. Difficulty keeping track of time. Frequently late or early.
  • Poor memory (retention & retrieval) of math concepts; may be
    able to perform math operations one day, but draw a blank the next. May
    be able to do book work but then fails tests.
  • Difficulty reading musical notation.
    Difficulty with choreographed dance steps.
  • Having particular difficulty mentally estimating the measurement of
    an object or distance (e.g., whether something is 3 or 6 meters (10 or
    20 feet) away).
  • When writing, reading and recalling numbers, mistakes may occur in
    the areas such as: number additions, substitutions, transpositions,
    omissions, and reversals.
  •  Inability to grasp and remember mathematical concepts, rules, formulae, and sequences.
  •  Inability to concentrate on mentally intensive tasks.

I can’t even comprehend what it might be like being a human who doesn’t have all of these characteristics. I don’t know how a brain can possibly just “remember” how to do long division or know what ten feet looks like.

I can’t even accept that a car is more than like nine feet long. Ours is fifteen feet long, and even standing next to it, my brain is POSITIVE it’s small enough to fit in a bathroom.

@sunshine-soda look at those bullet points! It’s me! There’s actually a word it!

Wait a car is more than 9 feet long? I feel like that is a really long list, but I’ve known since high school I mix up my numbers. I’ve even referred to it to explain why as “almost like I have dyslexia but just with numbers”. Didn’t realize knowing how big or small a thing is is related to that.

This feels so familiar.

I literally can’t get myself to sit through movies that don’t have women. I’m like where the fuck are the women? Why are there so many men? This is boring as fuck goodbye

Even if it’s historically accurate?

as everyone knows, women were invented in 1990

All the notes of “women weren’t on old time battlefields” are wrong. There were more prostitutes and merchant women than there were soldiers in most every encampment. They followed the armies, marching alongside them, and notably ran the camps.

Many more women dressed as men to fight.

Long before female nurses were officially considered to be a part of the military, they were already on the battlefield. They merely didn’t get written into official reports because they were “invisible women”, “not supposed to be there”. Usually they would be local women running a makeshift care center out of their homes.

Movies involving ancient societies? Guess how many had female fighters?

Spies? Mostly female. Yeah, only the men were caught, usually (because nobody suspected the servant woman), but historians believe most cases had more women spies than men. Most cases meaning across time and continents.

Giving me a movie on samurai? Women were trained as well to avoid being captured and raped, and often fought just as hard as men. One woman notably survived multiple battles, and became a hero alongside her sisters after taking out 7 men before dying in her last fight (usually in sword fighting you’d be lucky to take out 2 enemy soldiers. 7 is fucking insane, but because she was a woman it was shoved under the records how the lord managed to survive).

Women have ALWAYS been on battlefields. Women have an intense history in driving victories and losses alike. They were supply runners, fighters, spies, assassins, prostitutes (look up how prostitutes essentially ran the western world, or even the social status of harem members. They literally fucking ruled), even underground activists.

The only time there weren’t many women were with cowboys. Actual western cowboys tended to be both POC and gay. In fact, any time women didn’t have a near equal or greater presence, there was a LOT of gay men.

History: either 80% female or 100% gay. And it’s 95% POC.

Jeff Sessions was interrupted by a priest who just directly quoted Jesus at him. Jeff Sessions was speaking about not allowing refugees and immigrants into this country.

The priest was removed. Another religious leader stood up and defended the priest, and they were also removed.

Powerful video. Jesus loves that priest, and that priest knows Jesus.

booing at “the words of Jesus himself”

fucking. pharisees.

I guarantee that not a single person in that room outside of the two who stood up has ever honestly thought about actual Christian discipleship. Christianity is a manipulative tool for these people – it is not a path of spiritual fulfillment.
