Stratt, on one hour of sleep in the past three days and 37 cups of coffee: Okay thank you, I—one minute—where are we on the research grants?!—ok—you, have you contacted—hold on—no I’m not available right now—NASA where are we with the ship?—good—yes I need all of them here—no, redesign that—I cannot talk to the press right now—hand me those charts—why is the patrova line up 4%?!—and you do not have clearance—no time for that right now—the button is over there—do I look like I have two seconds—one minute everyone I’m getting another effing call—WHAT?!

Grace, on the other line: Carl and I made a baby :D

always think of this meme when this scene comes up

"the most unrealistic thing about project hail mary is that a woman is in charge" WRONG look up the glass cliff. women are much more likely to be promoted to positions of power when things are going poorly and people need a woman to blame. she refers to herself as the "world's whipping boy." the person put in the position to have to commit ecological and humanitarian crimes of that scale in order to save the earth would only ever be a woman.

This is a tea checkpoint.

Is your tea getting cold?

Did you turn on your kettle and forget about it and now the water is cold again?

Is the tea bag still in?

Did you intend to start the tea making process and forget?

Congratulations! You remember now.

Metahuman with super healing powers whose entire job is that once a week they go to a nearby hospital and are put into a medically induced coma for 24 hours while all their organs and blood are harvested, and kept there until they've healed up again.

They get paid a small stipend by the Heroes Council for this, and they live off that.

No crime fighting, no obvious heroics, and they only took a Super Identity because it's technically hero's council policy. Nobody's ever seen them in a cape.

Every so often the Heroes council will release an official report to the public, and there'll be another bunch of news articles wondering how some unknown super calling themselves 'Meat Factory' somehow consistently holds the record for most lives saved across the city.

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

It is essential to my vision that they are not at all sanctimonious about this.

Like, they regularly act like they're getting away with something. They joke about how they get to earn money in their sleep. They show up to their hospital visits in deliberately ridiculous disguises, on the excuse that they need to 'protect their identity'.

Part of their employment contract is that they get served the same post-operation vanilla ice cream that they normally hand out on the childrens' ward. Also a sticker. Their overnight bag is covered in stickers.

[shinyhappygoth]

Okay, Meat Factory is awesome and hilarious, but if they're being harvested for and regenerating absolutely everything, may I suggest an alternative super name: Theseus.

[slyakoch13]

damn they blocked us another social media. Surprisingly tumblr is working well. But I know they tested blocking all internet in Moscow, white-listing only governmental websites and services. Huh. Sounds shitty.

I mean, im still fighting through using vpns and proxies but it's kinda ILLEGAL here. So if I disappear from the web sorry guys 💔 I tried my best

They’re so funny let’s all read the book called ‘the book that kills you’ from hit audio drama ‘do NOT under any circumstances read the book called ‘the book that kills you’’.

This is a textbook case of the Not-Them, right?

"The strange radio station started casting in Western Europe on the first day of the US/Iran war. It broadcasts sets of numbers in Farsi."

"Загадочная радиостанция заработала в Западной Европе в первый день войны США с Ираном. Она передает в эфир наборы цифр на фарси"

I've seen TMA 144, where happens the same. But I thought Extinction was a fear, not an instruction!

[chippedcat2]

Sometimes I think about the fact that survivorship bias is very much baked into the core of TMA. By definition, statements only come from those who survived at least their initial encounter with the Fears.

It makes me wonder just how many stories we didn’t hear because there were no survivors. Just how many people in this universe disappear with absolutely no trace because no one lived to tell their story.

Going on vacation with an older relative feels like going on vacation with a 5 year old, but having no respect from, and being constantly belittled by the said 5 year old, even though you're managed half of the vacation (especially when the said relative doesn't know the language and customsof the country you're going on vacation to and don't know English). Also your emotions and troubles are invalid to said person, because they think of you as the 5-year-old-You, that they remember
