Naps are a forbidden technique, I think. If you pull them off just right you'll access a pool of near-endless rejuvenating power, but if you mess up some inscrutable part of the ritual your vitality and might will be sapped and you'll be left at the mercy of your opponents

As a society we have benefited so much from successful public health measures that we now have the privilege of declaring that we must not need them anymore

Bitch before enriched flour, neural tube defects like spina bifida were far more common. Even now, spina bifida clinicians and researchers are begging to have salt and maize fortified to reach groups that don’t use as much flour. Before iodized salt, the United States had a fucking GOITER BELT. Eleven years after the introduction of fluoridated water, a city in Michigan found the rate of dental caries among school children dropped a staggering 60%— in an era where tooth decay regularly fucking killed people

I’m literally not even going to start on vaccines, which are among the most successful and robustly studied public health measures in world history

You might say “oh well today we all have access to vitamins and toothpastes and dentists so we don’t need those things in our food supplies” and boy do white people on social media loooove to fucking say that. But here’s the thing: no, people don’t all have easy access to those things. That’s privilege talking yet again

WHEEL YOURSELF A DRAGON!

First take this classic dragon shape

Second, take this wheel and spin it 5, 7, or 10 times to modify the dragon!

Lastly, bask in your wonderful new child I ended up with a basilisk looking creature after spinning 7 times

in honor of phineas and ferb coming back can you imagine being a disney investor in the early 2000s watching some guys' storyboard pitch and you're like "oh this seems funny and cute but also relatively normal for a children's television show" and then this happens without warning

People forget that eye contact is a threat/act of aggression among many animal species. And aggressive eye contact is a thing in many human contexts too. It has more than one meaning for the story to incorporate. So, Murderbot makes direct eye contact, as G forced it to against its wishes earlier, as a threat display toward G. "I don't like you." Back off. If you don't, this is your warning that I'm done letting people hurt and torment me.

But then when Mensah steps in front of it as it's trying to angrily walk away, it stops at her outstretched hand and then turns its gaze away to not be threatening (as well as follow its own preference not to make eye contact), despite being extremely "done" and not wanting to interact any further. And fully capable of using direct eye contact with a human in a challenging way to make them back off. (Or it could have just moved around and left the room faster than she could react)

In fact, Mensah's lines perfectly mesh with what the performances are doing -- she's talking about how it hasn't had to obey this entire time, but has chosen to protect her and the team (even up to the point of self-sacrifice), and the actual physical actions of the actors back that up. It didn't have to stop at the outstretched hand of one petite human; it didn't have to look away and let her draw it into a conversation it didn't want.
