Rereading the Murderbot short stories, I found this:

OMG Murderbot wants to buy its humans coyote vests:

(Maybe then it would be safer for Ratthi to leave the shuttle.)

"We were just like, what do you want to say that this has all been about? And so those lines that [Tony] has about 'life is precious and you need to enjoy every single second because you never know when,' he just kind of said that from the heart. You can kind of see in his eyes that he's speaking right through the camera and to the audience. And I think it was even more impactful to us in the room because he was living by those words. It wasn't just like something he said 'cause he thought it'd be good in a movie. That whole day was very special because his mortality was present in the room. He was cherishing every second and he was loving it and he was so happy to be there. So, he kind of communicated the message he was living, and it was such a special moment that we're all really grateful to be able to capture." — Zach Lipovsky

“Superman’s suit should be Kryptonian” “Ma Kent should make Superman’s suit at home” or how about the third fun option where the suit is the Kryptonian skinsuit BUT it gets damaged by Kryptonite and Ma Kent has to figure out how to sew/mend Kryptonian cloth that seems to have a mind of its own and won’t stop SQUIRMING.

Thousands of years of Kryptonian technology vs one Midwestern mom with her favorite show on? I’m putting my money on Ma.

where’s that 1900s painting of the centaur mother playing with her child in a grassy field?

I looked cute with short hair, ne? It's so fluffy and soft. Alas I prefer to keep it longer.

i'm trying to flirt with this noblewoman but she keeps asking me to demonstrate my flawless sword technique and i don't think she realizes how much effort i'm putting in to make my tits bounce while doing so

[gilly-laughs]

convincing this wandering swordmaster (loser, woman) to keep demonstrating her flawless technique to cleave a man from his life for me because her tits bounce really lewdly whenever she does it and she hasn't noticed yet

It's pride month so I'll allow myself to express one opinion on the internet :

There are no "exact color" of pride flags.

I see more and more sites and posts talking about the exact hex codes for the lesbian flag, or the right purple for the ace one, and how it should be more or less saturated and I just want to say: pride flags were meant to be sewn in your kitchen. To be spraypainted and to be recognised.

There are no "exact colors" of pride flags because you should do them with what you have ! Nobody should care if you use a crimson red instead of a cherry red or whatever ! Be free ! wave your colors ! The colors you have !

A couple weeks ago I ended up on the ER. In the initial testing, they did a CT scan, and it revealed I have issues with my heart that were completely unrelated to the symptoms I went in for. The combination of those issues, even with as little testing as they've done so far, is frankly pretty bad. Instead of a funding an out-of-state move, this will help us find and maintain a place in the Seattle area so I can still easily see my specialist and other doctors I'll be seeing for my conditions. It would also give a financial cushion for my partner to help me with doctor's appointments and recovery, which he’ll have to take time off work to do.

I have now spoken to the specialist and to say things are "not great" would be accurate. Surgery isn't happening right now but I am going under regular observation for the next 6 months with multiple rounds of testing before they decide.

Now that I've talked to the surgeon about it, I can say everything that's wrong properly. My heart is failing. I have had an aortic aneurysm, on top of other conditions compounding into a major problem. The other conditions are near-constant tachycardia, even when resting; as well as the left chamber of my heart being thickened and taking longer to charge up than the right side between beats.

The aneurysm has also weakened my aortic valve, which is allowing blood to flow back into my heart. All 3 of those things combined are raising my blood pressure dangerously and putting more pressure on the aneurysm itself.

Basically, I need to constantly monitor my blood pressure and heart rate and keep them as low as I can so prevent the aneurysm from rupturing. If it does, I have a 50/50 chance of living long enough to get to an emergency OR and a fairly low chance of living if I DO make it there.

I'm going to be in and out of the hospital a lot over the next 6 months while they do a bunch of testing and decide if I need surgery now or later, but as the surgeon I just talked to said "Surgery is inevitable, it's just a matter of how long can we make it without."

Before, I was looking for work, but right now I can’t. I'm working on applying for disability again, but that's a long process I've already been denied twice for. They may approve me after more testing, combined with my already existing disability from my hit and run in 2019, but that's unknown given the current political climate surrounding disability funding. Until then, we are relying on one income, and it's not enough to keep us afloat for long.

Thanks for your generosity—we need all the help we can get.

Episode 3 of Murderbot: Dr. Mensah asks Murderbot to sit in the front of the hopper with her and talks about her family. Muderbot freaks out after a few minutes and bolts from the conversation.

Episode 356 of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon: flight captain Hossein asks the navigation bot to sit by the fire and talks to her about her story. This the start of their romantic relationship.

Its clear to me now that Murderbot was not just normal amounts of anxious to talk to Mensah. It thought Mensah was trying to put the moves on it. And as it often points out (in the books at least) it is not a sexbot.

one of my favorite twitter accounts that is defunct now is it was this account called like Crazy Optical Illusions or something and they would just post popular optical illusions but edit them so they werent optical illusions anymore and they would just pretend and people would be very confused / angry in the comments

From a project I was working on before going in another direction, but still wanted to post this. Inspired by this photo of mourning doves nesting in the fossil of a triceratops, and how it tells us that the world can end, just not forever.
