It pisses me off that I'm spending all day doing whatever the fuck that it is that I do, instead of whatever the fuck this is. Re evaluating.

In good faith, I hope you can open up to the idea that the childbearing strike of the 4B movement is only one component of a broader movement which trans women may join and benefit from. The childbearing strike is a *direct* response to the explicit demands of governments that women who are able to bear children do so. Women who cannot bear children, including trans women, are also reduced to their childbearing capacity by these demands. Asserting women’s autonomy and independence apart from the current patriarchy is truly feminist to the core and it is good for everyone.
how did you type so many words without saying anything
Serious question, are you able to read?

This is the English word I want to get tattooed on my wrist. It means “to keep breathing even though the water rises all around you.” English is such a mystical exotic language. They can fit so much meaning into so small a word.

hang on to every single aborted half-finished flimsy unrefined story/narrative/oc idea u have ever gotten obsessed w for 36 hours and then set aside like "idk how i'm ever going to use this. oh well", and/or every story bit u ever test drove for a while but then got bored of/outgrew but always thought a little longingly about, etc, bc maybe one day u are goign to get nailed straight in the forehead w the cumulative story idea that instantly combines like literally every single one of them. i do not guarantee that story will be good but what can u do

How is Adrian Tchaikovsky not more popular? How can I go on booktube, booktok, bookblr and bookstagram without being forcefed Adrian Tchaikovsky content every day?? Why did no one hold a gun to my head and force me to read Children of Time in the three years I owned this book??? I read five of his books this month and am about to start the sixth and the only regret I have is not doing so sooner
I’m with you. He’s so good. I want to yell about children of memory - I just finished it today. Amazing.

Happy to see disability representation in a sci-fi universe! (Thank you, Adrian Tchaikovsky.)
I’m also realling loving the disabled character telling off a character who was genetically engineered and whose people are genetically engineered because of the fact that if they saw a person like her in their vats, missing two arms and a leg, they’d just flush the whole thing.
I appreciate that Olli, the disabled woman, said as much, and I appreciate that Solace is taking days to think this over and didn’t immediately say something harsh back and then deny the ableism. I also think Solace is great, especially since she’s actually taking time to learn in this book.
Honestly, their interactions and their character growth relative to one another is so good. They have immense chemistry, both in their personalities and backgrounds.

Being good at Names is a highly underrated skill in science fiction, classic and modern. You can't just take an ominous noun and slap a definite article and capital letter on it anymore. What does it mean? What's the vibe? I don't know. The Domain. The Hive. The Facility. The Hierocracy. "A Demesne Capital Ship just came out of hyperspace!" Okay. Sure. Yawn. Is that a good thing? A bad thing? Who cares. I don't care.
Adrian Tchaikovsky is good at names. When something called a "Naeromathi Locust Ark" surfaces from unspace in your outer solar system, you don't need any other information to know that somebody is going to have a very bad day.

Scientific fraud is the most baffling thing ever to me like do they think they're just going to make a huge breakthrough and no one will notice that it's fake by trying to replicate their results
Yeah actually I just discovered how to turn plastic into gold. Oh you want to know how I did it
Starts running away cutely

Folks with this whole "you're old once you hit 25" mentality are just buying into a repackaged "you need to have your life figured out by 18 and if you're not successful by 22 you're a failure" load of shit. Like....bruh, life doesn't end at 25. Idk how to tell you that the time limit you're silently imposing on yourself and your peers is largely responsible for your dissatisfaction with your life. Stop living your life like happiness has an expiration date. It doesn't.
It's even worse than that. It's women being socialised to see ourselves the way men like Leonardo DiCaprio see us. Kill the Leonardo DiCaprio in your head.
