Martha Wells: What if a robot with feelings

Me: *starting to sweat*

MW: Also it's autistic

Me: *hyperventilating, my knees are shaking*

MW: It's traumatized and it loves an asshole computer

Me: *foaming at the mouth, passing out*

getting older is funny because characters you used to look up to and see as very established and grown up people are like 29

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with relating to characters, “they’re literally me” etc but if that’s the only way you engage with stories you’re kinda missing the whole point of Characters being vehicles through which we can see perspectives outside of our own. and also you’re going to get upset when the Character acts in a way that is not Personally Relatable to You

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

ART as a character is great because it's an answer to the age-old question of "what if you encountered what's essentially a man-made eldritch horror and it was so fucking annoying about it"

[trying to flirt with ms frizzle] hey val. can i call you val? i've always liked how most of the working professionals you know appear to be homosexuals. how about you take a chance on me, and we can make some mistakes and messes at my place?

some good notes

[ryan-sometimes]

When people justify using gen AI by talking about how it allows them to do (insert creative hobby) it sends me into a blind rage. The whole point of the creative hobby is to use your brain. Having a machine do it for you defeats the purpose. That’s like saying you’re getting into running marathons then just driving the 42km

They say it's still out there, roaming the unaffiliated zone, waiting to sideswipe the unwary traveler…

Rebirth. I got hit with a lot of feelings about Grace leaving Earth to die and never coming back, but living on somewhere else. This is what I did with that. I had a lot of fun adding little Eridian details to his outfit. I think that embroidery would be pretty big on Erid, since they'd be able to be hear the textures, which is why Grace has some little amateur embroideries on his shirt. He picked it up. He's working on it. He's also got some embroidered and woven mending going on, and new xenonite glasses frames. And a chip of Rocky's carapace as a pendant, of course.
