[ID: A redrawing of Eva Stratt, Ryland Grace, and Carl from Project Hail Mary in the Twelfth Night photoshoot pose. Grace is in the middle, crying. Stratt has one hand under his chin as she closes her eyes and kisses the side of his mouth. Carl leans against Grace’s back, eyes closed and sorrowful. Stratt and Carl both hold onto the Petrova Line in one hand each as it stretches across Grace. End ID.]

[ID: a Shakespeare quote combined with Project Hail Mary screencaps. It says “not that I loved Caesar less,” with a picture of Eva Stratt and Ryland Grace looking at eachother. “But that I loved Rome more.” In the final image Grace is looking at Eva Stratt, but she only stares straight ahead, resignation written on her face.

I am an old woman, but I still love looking at my face. I don't know if it's beautiful or ugly, but it is the only human face I ever see. I smile at it and receive a friendly smile back.

I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman

“I was forced to acknowledge too late, much too late, that I too had loved, that I was capable of suffering, and that I was human after all.”

[cleaningouttherooms]

just finished harpman's I who have never known men and I will say it did not exactly do wonders for my mood but it's also really unlike anything I've ever read before. I think I'm just genuinely impressed by fiction that asks you to imagine a crazy unexplainable scenario and then proceeds to give you absolutely zero answers without apologizing for it. what if forty women were kept alive fed and warm in a cage for no reason on an empty planet that looks a lot like earth but maybe isn't but maybe is. like yeah what if

Original post by @morallygrayautisticscientist here, this post was so funny I decided to draw it lol.

Panel by panel below:

[smileytiger28]

[ID: a four panel cartoon based on a Project Hail Mary tumblr post from @/morallygreyautisticscientist.

panel 1: stratt stands outside the burning science facility. With a serious expression she says, “oh no.”

Panel 2: with her hands up in a pleading capacity, stratt says, “I don’t have the time or emotional capacity to be sad or stressed about this.”

panel 3: “GRACE!” She calls. Ryland Grace, with a smile and a big thumbs up, answers “on it!”

panel 4: stratt whispers “thank you.” As Grace sobs in different exaggerated poses (on all fours, hands on his face, gushing through his glasses.)

will lose my mind about how expensive everything is. I’m eating ramen for the rest of my life.

do I get the apartment I love that’s pushing my budget to the very edge or do I get the one that’s just fine that gives me wiggle room

[closet-keys]

as a teen, i was constantly harassed by adults enforcing ''dress codes'' on me. I very much experienced this as sexual harassment. I think this is one of many cases where people would more easily understand this as sexual harassment if I described it as if it happened to an adult.

imagine being on your lunch break, and your supervisor comes over to your table, tells you to stand up in front of everyone. they draw everyone's attention to your thighs. they tell you that you have broken the dress code because of the length of your shorts. they tell you to go change (so you do not get the rest of your lunch break). they do this every single day at lunch. every day. so you read the whole dress code front and back, and you choose your clothing carefully to not break it. you bring a cloth tape measure with you to work because they will not believe you. this time when your supervisor tells you that you're breaking dress code, you pull out your tape measure and show that you are within the limit. your supervisor says "I bet you wouldn't want me to bring you to the boss and let him measure it, would you?" it's clearly a threat: if you don't obey then you will be put alone in a room with your boss and he will touch your thighs. you don't know how to respond. you're taken out of lunch again.

this was my experience at school. replace supervisor with "teacher" and boss with "principal." this was sexual harassment. fuck dress codes.

apartment hunting makes me feel crazy what do you mean that the apartment rent can only be 30% of my gross income or you won’t rent to me.

one of my friends lives under a rock, and not in the fine way as in he doesn’t know shit about pop culture, but in the deeply annoying way that he has zero idea about the news or absolutely anything going on around him
