Hey someone suggested I use ChatGPT to figure out adulting today, and as I was going through the mental list of places I'd rather look, I realized "beloved strangers on Tumblr dot net" was on that list.

So if you have an aspect of adulting that you're really good at-taxes, budgeting, cooking, insurance, credit, time management, house upkeep, anything-please feel free to reblog with any tips.

Not me, but @bitchesgetriches has a lot of great resources for many of these topics on their website.

never "look inside" yourself btw i just tried it and there was already someone in there looking back it was so awkward

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i want all my friends and followers and mutuals and acquaintances to know from the bottom of my heart: i don’t respond to your messages because i’m an insane person, i am insane medieval hermit software running inappropriately on modern queer hardware and social media scares me. it is not your fault

A ceo leaves for a week, very few people notice.

The custodial staff leave for a day, everyone notices.

Sanitation and custodial workers deserve far more money and respect than they generally get.

[ohnoitstbskyen]

I don't think people understand the degree to which society is kept alive by the labor of the least well-regarded professions. If sewage technicians and sanitation workers and their expertise and knowledge were to disappear tomorrow, the streets would pile high with bodies in every city. We live in a world where we get to be blessedly ignorant to just how fast, how brutally and how violently cholera can rip through a community. How many babies it can kill. How many elderly bodies it can devour alive. You've never seen what it's like when typhoid takes root.

"Oh but we have modern medicine" if you don't have clean drinking water and a way to dispose of your piss and shit and trash you are going to fucking die. No if or but or maybe, you are dead, and so are half the people you know.

Murderbot is such a neurodivergent power fantasy. It can

- store unlimited media and watch it privately

- turn down sensory organs that are bothering it

- look at stuff without its eyes

- cross reference its data storage when it doesn't know what to say

- program "human-like behavior"

- super duper kill the shit out of anyone that fucks with it

[tadpole-art]

It has social anxiety okay ;-;

[miisakee]

see, as an autistic person i fully sympathise with and shudder with murderbot in the forced-eye-contact scene, and i want to shake gurathin for it. but i also find it hilarious how obviously gurathin is also torturing himself. he also hates eye contact. he hates this too he's just chanting 'it's necessary it's necessary it's necessary' to himself to get through it the whole time. and it's not even helping anything!

idiotic wet-paper-bag of a man.

[yuhi-san]

They are both so dumb. Because murderbot is essentially doing the same thing with the feed of the throuple.

It really rather wouldnt watch their exchange of bodily fluids but its like, i bet that makes you uncomfortable too

[tam--lin]

r/Murderbot mods really said "if you can't use it/its for a fictional character, get over yourself".

[layaart]

anticipating an exponential increase in murderbot misgendering so I drew something about it

[mearchy]

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."

[coulson-is-an-avenger]

still thinking about how selfish the choreography for the GrayCris fight was and how fucking awesome that was as a narrative device.

this whole time we've seen a team from a planet of communal living and loving, who try so hard to be in unison on decisions to the point where when Mensah gives an order to Pin-Lee, they are genuinely shocked and hurt. AND THEN WE MEET THESE MOTHERFUCKERS.

who present as a united front, who blame PresAux for killing a teammate, who we assume to be united in their goals, because why wouldn't they be? even if they're the bad guys, surely they're a unit, right?

And then they start SHOOTING each other on accident or out of spite or because they dont want the other to have the right of escape etc etc until SecUnit barely has to lay a hand on any humans at all because they're so busy trashing each other to high hell. It's essential for our heroes to survive, but it's also a sharp reminder of other human cultures, and really hammers home to us (and Murderbot) that its clients really and truly are the best clients💙

what a phenoooomenal choreographic scene

MURDERBOT 1.10 "The Perimeter"

[muffinsandmatriarchy]

The first few episodes of this show had me absolutely baffled at how they had managed to bag these absolute God-tier actors for what, on its surface, appeared to be a B-rate sci-fi sitcom. But my god did that last episode whop me in the gut. WHERE did that come from. It was so good!!

Please watch Murderbot y’all it is so delightful
