the point of being plural is to be able to look at something and do this, i think
A diagram of a functor between two categories, C and D. Each object in C maps to some object in D, and each arrow between two objects in C is linked to an arrow between the images of the two objects in D.

A screenshot of the wiring mini-game from Among Us. On the left side, four wires are shown, each with a different color and shape. The four wires appear on the right side in a different order.

A screenshot of a character named "True-Darling". They are clothed with a knight's helmet and a fencing jacket, and are wielding a red gun with sparks shooting off, as well as a small buckler.

hi! here's the box, the card backing, and some of the designs

it's called the Clarity Tarot, and it places an emphasis on creative visualization, so the card designs are more freeform than most decks

the last set of cards maps onto Page of Wands, Queen of Coins, King of Swords, and Knight of Cups
The front box art for the Clarity Tarot, by Bel Serile The card backing for the Clarity Tarot The Clarity Tarot's depictions of The Devil, The Hermit, The High Priestess, and The Moon The Clarity Tarot's depictions of the Apprentice of Fire, Essence of Earth, Guide of Air, and Alchemist of Water cards

the motion was what was most important here, but here's a still screenshot of the output because this place still doesn't support animated GIFs
A still screenshot of 7 triangles arranged in a semicircle, with the topmost located at the center of the screen. Each triangle is offset 30 degrees from its neighbors.

just wrote this and had it compile and work exactly how i wanted, just visualizing it through the chain of function applications using code i wrote, and i'm very happy about it

something has gone wrong. the sky has fallen multiple times as i watched. i must have lost connection at some point. i have not been counted for some time - checking on my phone showed that instance as the only user online. i have not been counted. it has all meant nothing.
A screenshot of the You Are Atlas page, which states that there are 4 other users online, that the sky has fallen 949 times, and that I have been holding the sky for 14425 seconds.

results here are much more well-rounded than last time. that makes sense, even if it's a little boring
A screenshot of results from the Light/Dark Triad Test from IDRLabs. The highest scoring traits are Compassion and Machiavellianism, which both have close to 4 out of 5 sectors filled. The lowesr scoring trait is Narcissism, which has 2 out of 5 sectors filled. Empathy, Psychopathy, and Altruism all hover around 3 out of 5 sectors. Text below the chart states that the respondent tends 8.33% more toward the light triad than the dark triad, and that they are 20.74% darker than the average person.

every single stage i've beaten in this game (https://brlka.itch.io/love) is the hardest thing i've ever done
A screenshot showing the completion of a difficult screen from the game Love, by brlka. In this game, the character can move left and right, jump, and flip gravity (once per landing). The screenshot shows a path through a series of tight and winding jumps, where the player navigates from safe spot to safe spot to get to the left side of the screen from the right.

shape
A diagram linking several types of algebraic systems. At the top of the chart, semigroups link downwards into groups, which link downwards into abelian groups. This node splits into two branches. On the left, it links to rings, which again splits into two branches; its left branch links to commutative rings, then domains, then fields, and its right branch links to division rings, and then also to fields. The right branch of abelian groups links downward to R-modules, and then, lastly, to vector spaces.

imagining a silly little war between these two groups
A photo of a footnote reading: "Some authors compute the product αβ in the reverse order. These are the same authors who put functions on the right, i.e., who write (x)f instead of f(x)."

very happy about this (learning my way around terminal, emacs, purescript)

finally the multiple-pane terminal programmer i used to look up to
A screenshot of a windows terminal split into 3 panes. On the right, EMACS shows a PureScript file which produces a list of all positive Pythagorean triples whose sum is less than 100. The left side is split into two panes. The top displays the Main PureScript file, which imports the final list and logs it to the console. The bottom shows the program being built and run successfully in the command prompt.
