Reminder that it really doesn’t matter what ways you’re marginalized, if you’re not black you’re just as capable of anti blackness as white cishet people. No amount of “but I’m gay!”, “but I’m trans!”, or “but I’m not white!” changes that.

And being neurodiverse/disabled isn’t an excuse for anti blackness either.

A Vulcan named Stork works at the Terran adoption agency. Parents always request that he be the one to deliver their child to them.

People who aren't familiar with animal behaviour - especially when it comes to wild animals - are surprised and delighted when a wild animal that's usually averse to human contact seems to be completely tame. It's cute! Look at this little buddy, look at how friendly she is! You see pictures like that on the internet sometimes, people snapping photos of themselves and their friends picking up this incredibly sweet and docile beautiful piece of wildlife.

The truth is, that is mortifying. An animal acting unnaturally is always a bad sign. That creature is too sick or delirious to flee from a predator. Depending on what's wrong with that poor thing, their unexpected - well, unanticipated - bite might infect you, too. A creature that can't comprehend, or can't bother to care, that they're in danger is dangerous by default.

I wonder if that would apply to humans interacting with supernatural creatures. Like they emit vibes so bad that humans just fucking bolt at the first hint of it, the aura of Sense Of Impending Doom radiates from them at Demon Core doses, you'd chew your leg off like a trapped animal to escape it.

And then these creatures find a human that is so thorougly depleted of fucks to give that they honestly just don't fucking care anymore. Looking at unfathomable cosmic horrors like "yeah this might as well be happening" and doesn't even flinch at the unfathomable hand reaching to grasp them.

And the entities are like "omg look it's letting me pick it up! it's completely tame!", blisfully unaware that a human being who has reached a point this far beyond fearing death will not hesitate to kill a god.

You’re a renowned portrait artist, painting portraits for politicians, celebrities, you name it. Late one night, there’s a knock on your door. A nervous young man stands outside, pale, with elongated canine teeth. He’d like a portrait. Hasn’t seen his own face in over a century.

In exchange for a bountiful harvest, the hive is safe. The elder one, smoke bringer and invulnerable goliath, makes it so. A strange and unknowable being, it brings with it arcane artifacts and demands we sacrifice our honey, and in return it grants protection to the swarm

if you think about it, every time we tranquilize animals to transport them safely to another place, we are the sleep paralysis demon

Visit Strange new worlds and… Pet the Hardware.

Ok we all remember Vice Admiral Stabby the Space Roomba. Well all know that as soon as humans come up with an AI that we’re reasonably sure is sentient, we’re going to give it human rights and make it pay taxes.

So imagine the non-human survey team giving their assigned Human some funny looks. They’re there to carry things and do Human Stuff, which apparently means occasionally talking to the non-AI hardware and sometimes patting it.

Which is funny. Does the human know that this thing has hardly enough computing power to justify a power cell? Is this that Human Pack Bonding thing?

But an astute observer might notice that the Human seems to have developed machine empathy and will occasionally note that there’s a failure happening before it happens.

Or they’ll suddenly pause and do that funny face thing and go “Oh that’s not good” and hit stop… and hey yeah look, there’s something in there, let me just…

How do they know?

After a while, the people who work with the machines start patting them or that odd little grooming thing that humans do with inanimate objects. They start talking… and listening.

“Huh. You can actually hear when the suction line misses” says the B-Shift operator.

The A-Shift operator agrees. “I can feel when there’s sand got into the bearings. You just have to…” they mime running their lower hand along a console.

Worse, now the oprators are talking to their machines. Asking what’s wrong and discussing their job like they’re sentient. They swear it actually works. The statistics show fewer breakdowns and faster repairs.

All the Human will say is: “Rubber Ducking”.
