the public conversation for as long as ive lived: gender affirming care is a major life decision, and it cant be something you could just get all willy nilly because you cant reverse it. you have to prove you really NEED it

"afab only housing" is honestly beautiful. it's #progress to use inclusive language when discrimating against trans women

mousidy

you might as well just say "no men, and yeah I think men includes you trannies (but trans men aren't men you ladies are welcome 🥰)"

never stop being obnoxious about fictional character online. you will find like-minded people and it will literally save you

The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Phantom of the Opera and Beauty and the Beast all speak to one of humankind most consistent questions;

i just know grace and rocky are going to be linguistically unsalvageable after so long alone together in such a high stress environment.

the mixing of eridian and human languages (and not just english! even english speakers use phrases from other languages! youre telling me grace isnt c'est la vie-ing this entire goddamn trip?) and idioms and body language and various non-word sounds is going to be a sonic nightmare for humans and eridians alike.

in the short window of the story they've already morphed several, now multiply that across the entire trip!

i keep thinking about rocky picking up gesticulation from grace, but on erid it's the equivalent of a human talking with a hand in front of their mouth.

and i shudder to imagine all the scientific short hands they come up with to speed up research! hey rocky thanks for solving the astrophage problem too bad no one knows what the fuck you're trying to explain to us!

manners! social customs! they're fucked!

Nature Documentary: these deep sea creatures can withstand crushing pressures of thousands of pounds per square inch!

Me: they’re not withstanding a goddamn thing. The pressure is a part of them. Their interiors and exteriors are equalized. Just because your respiratory system is built around a pair of fragile poppable bubbles-

I love Eva Stratt and I’m done pretending I don’t.

You’re not supposed to feel comfortable about her. You’re supposed to question yourself for agreeing with her.

She represents “ends justify the means” leadership taken to the extreme. She cuts through politics, ethics boards, and hesitation because the timeline is brutal. If everything had to go through fully ethical, consensus-driven processes, the mission would probably never launch or would take so much more time to perfect to the point where humanity would not get a second chance anymore.

People like to think they would never do what she did. But if the alternative is everyone dying slowly while you wait for permission, for approval, for a solution that never comes, then what exactly is the moral choice there?

It just feels cleaner because YOU are not the one pulling the trigger.

Liking her does not mean agreeing with everything she does. It means recognizing a level of clarity and resolve that most people and most systems do not have under pressure.

This is also utilitarianism at the extremes. That's why it's so hard to ignore how unfair it is that she treats a handful of lives as expendable. But Eva Stratt's logic is basically sacrifice 10 for 10 billion. She takes the weight of that choice and carries it, fully aware of what it costs.

#project hail mary #book!eva stratt is so funny to me because she's a big walking talking I FUCKING HATE BUREAUCRACY sign #and weir has the audacity to say his books aren't political come the fuck on man

i realize this is more or less all happening on bluesky but holy fucking shit fuck hbomberguy and the leeches of breadtube that are trouncing around with him rn. jesus christ

deepseasmetro

hbomberguy and co are over on bluesky pedojacketing patricia taxxon because she called him out for underpaying her as a freelancer for several years (including when she was a fucking teenager)

(and their reasoning is "a tweet patricia taxxon made like 2 weeks ago")

sailatina3

So they acknowledge that they screwed her over but justify it because "she deserved it". Breadtubers genuinely think they deserve to live lol.

lonely-space-egg

I'll add that the initial post wasn't even calling Hbomb out for underpaying her, it was this vaguepost venting about being interpersonally poorly treated:

The posts about being underpaid came after Hbomb made his post, and after the dogpile was well underway. I think it deserves to be republished here, because it really is a dreadful instance of an artist being undercompensated:

Hbomb's post would be indefensible either way, but I think laying out the order of events illuminates things even further. Patricia Taxxon would be well within her right to call out being underpaid at any time, but as it stands she brought it up after Hbomberguy and his producer* contributed to the harrassment campaign against her. I would bet money that this is why Lily Alexandre deleted her post - because it validates Patricia's claim of underpayment that she posted in response to Hbomb pedojacketing her.

What we have here is a woman being piled on for the crime of venting that a man - who she did not even name - treated her poorly. "Lefttube" my ass.

[Also, while Patricia's account is currently deactivated, it is archived thoroughly on the Wayback Machine. I've seen people asking "posts are deleted, what happened" and I'd direct them to Patricia's words on the matter.]
