Murderbot meets ART (who knew transports could be smart enough to be MEAN)

The good plot twists aren't the ones that are wild left turns out of nowhere, they're the ones that make all the other little things that didn't quite add up before suddenly click

[Thinks about how ART hid itself inside its own code with clues relevant to itself and Murderbot, trusting that Murderbot would be able to figure it out and save it]

My favourite part of writing professional emails is sending them and immediately running over to my "sent" folder to check I did in fact write "Yeah, I can make a 3 PM meeting" and not "I think you're a big stupid piece of shit and I fucked your wife" somehow

I believe that one of the greatest thrills in life is that slumdog millionaire type flashback to a bizarre and unique bit of obscure knowledge that gives you an incredibly unlikely advantage at a critical moment.

What nobody tells you is that if you collect enough weird knowledge and experience you can ride that particular dragon minimum once a month

Thinking about the Holmes story where a blind girl goes to him and is like "My fiancé is missing and he kept telling me the week leading up to his disappearance that he would always love me and come back for me,were anything to happen so I think he knew he was in trouble and I love him so much and I'm going to wait for him but I'd like to find him faster,ya know?" And Holmes figures out that it was this girl's parents to scam her out of money she was owed from an estate which she gave to them because she was still living at home,which she wouldn't be if she ever married,so her step father PRETENDED TO DATE HER for MONTHS to keep her from ever getting engaged to a real person and when Holmes finds out he confronts this man and this man is like "Well,you caught me! But it wasn't illegal:) so:)" and Holmes is like "No,but it was sickening and cruel and if she had a brother or good male friend he should post you up and whip you but she doesn't." And the man is like "No,she doesn't." And does the Victorian version of sticking his tongue out and Holmes is like "Well,I guess I'll do then!" And HE PULLS OUT HIS HUNTING WHIP.

YES! ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT THIS ONE.

WHAT A KING.

Also the first case of Holmes deciding ‘Yeah, this vulnerable young woman is my sister/daughter now. No take backs.’

My favorite sex position is any of them. I’m just glad to be involved

murderbot is really like "thru the power of all of the tv i have watched and my robotic components which include a lot of weapons, I can handle any situation"

This is so Steve Rogers core

hot autistic adult women are always saying they're doing fine really and everyone is nice to them and they just need to figure out a few little things and then everything will be perfect

excuse me for dipping lower and lower into Neurodivergent Exceptionalism here, which I do not like, but the autistic assumption that everyone else is just as well-meaning and altruistic and empathic and informed as you are is one of the most dangerous parts of being Like This and I wish I knew the magic words to disillusion especially girls about this in about 5th grade. because the only other way to get there is through being personally brutalized and frankly not even that always works

hot adult autistic women are always looking up at you from a quarry full of trash and car batteries where they live and like shielding their eyes from the sun and smiling guardedly and saying oh yes I'm actually very lucky. i have everything I need. my life is actually very privileged. and a plastic bag blows in on the wind and clings to their face like a jellyfish and theyre like haha yeah that happens

your homework assignment is to actually get angry at the next person who either intentionally or through callous disregard for your needs makes your life worse. then, if possible through circumstance and safety, either make that anger their problem, or eject them from your life. enough already

And as a 44 yo autistic woman who has done exactly that just recently with an alleged friend who completely disregarded my feelings and pain when I told her "you caused my pain", I cannot stress enough how important (righteous) anger is.

How important it is to acknowledge that your needs are valid. That your pain is real. That your boundaries are not to be fucked with because they exist for a reason, which is you - your wellbeing, your needs, you are not inferior, you're just built different with a penchant towards being satisfied with less just because you're too focused on everything you cannot do compared to a 'normal' person.

I used to feel so guilty for having no endurance compared to my NT 'friend' who worked her ass off and didn't break a figurative sweat when I already struggled just walking at times. Literally. Struggle. Like I walk and I hyperfocus on the functionality of walking and it is exhausting. It is also my reality. I shouldn't feel inferior just because my brain happens to function in ways that definitely don't help but are also hard-coded into my genetics. I can't help that on some days having to exist makes me cry. It is not a choice.

So absolutely please do surround yourself with GOOD people, who respect you, appreciate you, love you, share in your hyperfocuses and obsessions. Dump anyone who makes you feel inferior, even if that's just a vibe you get. Your brain picks up on things that you don't. Heed the warnings.

And be your beautiful happy selves because life is already hard enough as it is (she says, going through menopause now because it's always something) and you DESERVE your own love and care. Absolutely. Do.

My parents had a Doberman, freakishly smart. We used to go on hikes and I was always the last one out of bed on those mornings. Dog was impatient, Dad told the dog 'Not until [me] gets out of bed.'

First thing I see that morning through bleary, half-closed eyes? The dog's nose, blowing into my face. Later I learned that he didn't come up to my room immediately after Dad said that. No, he waited until Dad was in the bathroom and couldn't stop him.

good morning i feel like seven dollars
