"Vanderhorst had been under the influence of MDMA and three litres of vodka she had consumed on the night of the offence last September, her lawyer Michael Hill told the court."
three. liters.
i support women's wrongs
i'm in a group for people who own those 12 foot tall home depot halloween skeletons (i do not own a 12 foot tall home depot skeleton; do not tell on me). the skeleton owners post daily about how they're decorating their skeletons seasonally to circumvent local ordinances about "seasonally appropriate" outdoor décor. they post anonymous fan & hate mail neighbors leave in their mailboxes which appear to be 100% genuine and a number of people are regularly posting updates as they pursue litigation against HOAs and entire cities to defend their rights to keep their 12 foot skeletons standing outside year-round. with lawyers and everything. it's a look into the lives of people who have money to spend on things i can never imagine, but i am compelled by their conviction.
you'd like to imagine the outcome of the bitter legal warfare might have knock-on effects that allow people more freedom in self-expression on their own lawns in general, but mainly it seems to be exclusively about the 12 foot tall home depot skeletons. and what a world.
stratt said grace will be a perfect astronaut he will never have a workplace relationship :)
it's a good thing mensah is already married with kids by the start of all systems red because can you imagine trying to make a new longterm relationship work when you have to explain to potential partners that murderbot will be there. no not romantically or sexually. but it is there.
oh sick someone paved this whole road with good intentions. i wonder where it leads
Watching Worldhoppers to relax alongside Sanctuary Moon is a treat, and of course the “like hearing a heartbeat you recognize” line is instantly iconic. But imo the hands-down greatest Murderbot&ART moment in Platform Decay is,
…Three had already gotten Naja, Sofi, and Tula onboard. It waited outside for us, which was not protocol on a mission like this. It should have gone in first to make sure the shuttle was secure, or kept the humans out here with it until I arrived to take over. But we both knew what was in there, we could feel it on the feed, and we knew there was no way anything would happen to our humans on its watch.
That’s SecUnit trust!! With Mensah on board the whole time, no less!
lymond is, I fear, very blorbable:
beautiful, clever, and murderous
beautiful in a specifically androgynous way. sometimes cross dresses for schemes. clever in a particularly conniving and also pretentious way. nobody knows what he's on about. murderous in a... well. people are dead
extremely awful except for the times when he's not and then you realise that like, 50-75% of the awfulness was an act. but the remainder wasn't
is sometimes very very funny. is sometimes very very mean. is sometimes both at once
keeps acquiring new young men who are in love with him and will make bad choices for him. occasionally they even admit it
copes with being sad by getting worse
gets severely injured, often in a public and humiliating fashion, at least once every book
i think the funniest possible permutation of grace/rocky is if grace is demisexual but never got emotionally close enough to anyone for sex to feel like more than a mostly-unobjectionable chore. so when he starts developing Those Feelings for rocky it hits him like a meteorite and he's like. oh god. what is this. have i just been a massive repressed xenophile all along. do i have a geology fetish. am i gay. well rocky's not actually a man so it's probably not that. but what if i am.
when morning bad but warsaw trams smile devilishly at you

Budapest tram smiling sweetly!!!
Stockholm tram looking at you sorrowfully :’(

Carnivorous plants doin this is so funny to me
They don't wanna eat their pollinators :(
I love that I share my house with one of the most efficient apex predators millions of years of evolution could produce. I love that two of nature’s most prolific machines met and were like “hmmm. We should lay around and do nothing together”. Now we’re both fat and happy and full of meat. The hedonism of it all
Humans keeping cats and dogs as family members is like three prodigy assassins being introduced in the back of a shady nightclub and 45 minutes later they’re 6 crunchwrap supremes deep passing a blunt in the back of a shag carpeted Volkswagen microbus rating Oreo varietals by fuckability
tumblr users have the unique ability to string together sentences never before seen in all of human history and yet they conjure up such specific visceral imagery that you can’t help but be a little in awe. and i think that’s beautiful
Love and peace on planet earth
rocky is both touched by the sentiment and disturbed by human medical practices
inspired by this grace quote:
"grace. grace! grace give attention. rocky perform human ritual of escape closet now. statement."
"come again?"
"i learn more from thinking machine. human gender preference. attraction to same gender, means word 'gay.' all eridian same gender." rocky stands straight up. "rocky come out to grace now. all rocky plural gay, statement."
"...wow, that's... rock, i'm not sure it makes much sense to apply human ideas of sexual orientation to a monogendered species."
a long and judgmental pause. then:
"grace HOMOPHOBIC, question????"
Do Eridians know they are different colours. I bet Grace's alien kids love finding out what colour they are. It means absolutely nothing to them but they're like :O :O
Some of them think he's making this whole 'colour' thing up to mess with them and try to catch him out by asking again on a different day to prove he's just saying random noises but he's like you are still blue buddy and they're like :O :O
Like if we met an alien species who had extra senses & they said that some humans felt spingly and some humans felt spoingly I bet we'd all want to know if we were spingly or spoingly humans
#we would create an entire new astrology system about it#spoinglology
Grace, watching the eridian children develop a whole astrology-esque personality typing system based around what colour they are: oh god what have I done
Bashō in Ireland
by Billy Collins
I am like the Japanese poet who longed to be in Kyoto even though he was already in Kyoto.
I am not exactly like him because I am not Japanese and I have no idea what Kyoto is like.
But once, while walking around the Irish town of Ballyvaughan I caught myself longing to be in Ballyvaughan.
The sensation of being homesick for a place that is not my home while being right in the middle of it
was particularly strong when I passed the hotel bar then the fluorescent depth of a launderette,
also when I stood at the crossroads with the road signs pointing in 3 directions and the enormous buses making the turn.
It might have had something to do with the nearby limestone hills and the rain collecting on my collar,
but then again I have longed to be with a number of people while the two of us were sitting in a room
on an ordinary evening without a limestone hill in sight, thousands of miles from Kyoto
and the simple wonders of Ballyvaughan, which reminds me of another Japanese poet
who wrote how much he enjoyed not being able to see his favorite mountain because of all the fog.
Happy pride month to him
