hell is empty and all the devils are here

Something I loved in Platform Decay was the whole thing of "sigils" being, very clearly like, emojis. I can't recall if they're mentioned much before this book, but the way Sofi uses them makes it clear what they really are.

Which makes this reread funny when, a few pages in, I'm hit with this line:

I send Three the schematics highlighted where the potential security personnel were located; it replied with an acknowledgement sigil and an updated map projection.

MB: Vital mission information, potential dangers and schematics.

Three: 👍

Rereading the first book and I hit another line that made me go "oh, ffs".

I panic all the time, you just can't see it. I told her. I added the text signifier for "joke".

Not a glyph or a sigil. A "text signifier", which...did Murderbot really just sign off that message with "lol"?

It's interesting to think about how Three differs from SecUnit in certain ways. And also the reactions of those around it:D

Attended a rattlesnake conference yesterday and one of the presenters was talking about public attitudes towards snakes, specifically how showing them in a non-aggressive context helps to create more positive attitudes, and. Y'all. I NEED to show you the image he used as an example

Look at him. Look at this smiley newborn sidewinder sitting in a bottle cap. He is so small and so happy he is EXACTLY the right size to sit comfortably in a bottle cap
