👻🌸 88 percent of all men receive flowers for the first time at their funeral.

⚘️ I am 38 years old and have only received flowers (made of plastic) once. I am very open about my preference for flowers.

🦋✨️ I really try hard to be seen, and yet I am mostly reduced to superficialities. If I even show myself vulnerable, I should almost be grateful not to be sanctioned.

🫡🤷‍♂️🖼 This is also evident in my posts. Compliments often concern the object depicted (beautiful flower, great sunset, nice body) but rarely the manner of depiction, let alone the meta-level of what is depicted.

🧠💯✌️ By the way, I received my acceptance yesterday after passing my entrance exam!

⚙️🔢🎨 That's another point: artistic talent and mathematical-technical understanding are often seen as irreconcilable opposites, even though there are sufficient examples of compatibility, both historically and in contemporary terms.

🌈👨‍🎨👨‍💻💭 As a media designer and computer scientist, I can do both, and over the next few years I will be deepening my mathematical understanding.

👨‍🏫👾👩‍🏫 Computer science and mathematics, by the way, are still male-dominated fields. Mainly because women are often not trusted or encouraged to do so. However, the first person to write a computer program was a woman. Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) was a British mathematician and socialite. She was the daughter of the poet Lord Byron.

🎭🧩💬 By the way, 70 percent of my followers are women. I've posted quite a few things that women could have commented on, because they concern issues that are, or should be, important to women as well.

🌱 Just saying.
