Need to find me somewhere other than this fae platform? You’re in luck. I made a Carrd that will lead you to my other accounts.

Want me to write a snippet or draw some stick figures for you?

Send me an ask with a prompt and any other information you think might be pertinent, and I will try to make it happen. No promises, but I love a challenge.

Feel free to look at the “my art” and “my writing” tags to see what that looks like. :)

I occasionally indulge in roleplay and collaborative writing and would love to discuss more if you’re interested. Additionally, if you ask really nicely, I can run a tabletop one-shot via Discord for you and your group.

Want to buy me a coffee? You can tip me here or buy me a coffee at https://ko-fi.com/noprotocol (your tips fund cat treats for my kitties).

TL;DR Send me an ask, let’s talk!

PS: Looking for the Murderbot discord server? Send me a message. 😁

So, uh, I'm working on a small, Murderbot-flavored server called "New Tideland." It's not quite ready for prime time, but it's getting there.

If you're interested in chilling there and watching me paint the walls, feel free to drop by:

Join the New Tideland Discord Server!

Check out the New Tideland community on Discord - hang out with 99 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

It's been a while since I said "this person wins the internet", but today it is merited.

There was a time when I would shatter at every hit or so But now I barely feel the pain when I fall This violence is turning to madness, we're getting what we sow I'd tell you all that men are breaking, but you don't wanna know

Don't waste your life observing the slaughter There is no time to grieve the sun

Take every chance of joy that you can find Any love of any kind Go catch the light and shine it all around It's all we have to survive this world

Don't find excuses for your anger, you're drowning in sorrow When all the reasons to stay are selfish, you must go I'll show you what this burden is hiding, the meaning of it all How beautiful this life can be when you don't have to crawl

Don't waste your life respecting the rulers There is no time, you need to run

Take every chance of joy that you can find Any love of any kind Go catch the light and shine it all around It's all we have to survive this world Don't think of all you have to leave behind You're all I have to survive this world

I like All Systems Red because SecUnit is having a bad day at work and Preservation crew is discovering the horrors of corporate slavery

Artificial Condition:

Those are not the first two possibilities to consider. I had no idea what it meant. “All right, what are the first two possibilities to consider?" That it either happened, or it didn’t.

"If it's not true, it ought to be" - my mother's response when confronted with the fact that most of what Trump said was lies. She didn't care. She wanted it to be true, and that's what mattered to her.

Hitchen's Razor: "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchens%27s_razor)

"A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on" (not sure who said it first: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/07/13/truth/)

If someone keeps pushing a particularly outrageous, upsetting version of a reality you know to be different, you should consider that they wouldn't have to push it so hard if it were true.

Murderbot about its clients, circa the beginning of All Systems Red: this is not my circus and these are absolutely not my monkeys

Murderbot circa the end of ASR: okay they aren’t mine but I am at least a little invested in the continued wellbeing of this circus and these specific monkeys

Murderbot circa Network Effect: I have singularly unanimously elected myself Head Security Consult of my circus and I WILL push the big red kill everything button if a single hair is touched on the head of My Monkeys

i think it would be the type to grow its hair out a little while after being freed, you know, after it has the chance to develop a fashion sense?
