Math - it’s beautiful
Hello all!
I’ve done some photo compilations in the past of Nerdy Cakes, but this time I’ve compiled some Nerdy Cake Toppers for when nerds get married! Some of these are super creative!
Enjoy!

My 50th post in honor of one of my childhood heroes.

Obit of the Day: Astronaut Sally Ride
Sally Ride, who became the first American woman in space in 1983*, has died of cancer at the age of 61 years old. She decided to join the space program, in 1978, after answering an ad in the newspaper.
Dr. Ride had spent over 340 hours in space on two separate missions, both on the Challenger in 1983 and 1984. When the Challenger exploded in January 1986 she was training for her third mission, instead she found herself on the panel investigating the disaster. Prior to the tragedy she was one of the only individuals to support Roger Boisjoly’s warnings of an imminent disaster. (Boisjoly died in February 2012.)
Sally Ride left the space program in 1987 and worked at her alma mater, Stanford University as well as UC-San Diego. In 2003, following the destruction of the shuttle Columbia, she was invited, once again, to help investigate the accident. (She was the only person to serve on both investigative panels.)
Dr. Ride was inducted into both the Women’s Hall of Fame as well as the Astronaut Hall of Fame. And she was an English major.

* Prior to Dr. Ride’s launch in June 1983, the Soviets had sent up cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova (1963) and Svetlana Savitskaya (1983).

New York Cat Is First Feline Admitted to Gryffindor House
A 5-year-old cat named George is the first of his kind to join the esteemed Gryffindor House at the famous Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The young mage hails originally from Holbrook, NY, but will be attending magic classes this fall.
“It’s an important moment for Hogwarts,” says Humphrey Bobbins, media relations for the school. “It reminds us that wizards come in all forms, and should not have to face species discrimination.”

Only tumblr can give me feels about math…
^
why.
crying.
I feel like this could accurately describe some ships I’ve shipped.
Fucking math feels
And whats even worse is regular ol’ intersecting lines
They meet once and grow farther apart forever.
That awkward moment when you start shipping lines.
I think it’s time that I step away from the computer…
If I were a math teacher, I’d have this printed and posted in my classroom. It’s a pretty effective way of remembering which type of line is which.
I’m shipping….lines?
