It's h-bar, not h. And it really does make sense if you look deeper I to the math.

Using "+1/2" and "-1/2" as vector labels is fine. Using it on the context of "the spin can have those 2 values here" for laypeople without further explanation is just making the subject less accessible.

Also, yeah, I was too lazy to search for the unicode ħ.

This might be a meme making fun of the inaccessibility of modern physics for laypeople.
