why?

a good thing about having friends with kids is that you can just sow the seeds for something that you’ll never need to address again. like tonight my friend’s three year old saw me eating blue corn chips.

Checking back in years later as a person who now has a four year old and a six year old and finally understands just how awful it is to have small children randomly screeching at maximum volume in a way that only someone with lived experience can

a good thing about having kids is that you can just sow the seeds for something that you’ll never need to address again. i mean, you probably should, but you don’t gotta. like a few weeks ago, I taught the kids all about the F word and why - even though it has incredible conversational utility - you shouldn’t say it because it’s a very very bad swear word and people will get upset.

Yesterday I told a guy I was ace/aro and he asked what “aro” meant, so I told him, and he responded, “Oh, I thought it might be like A-E-R-O and I was confused.”

Something I do find lovely about the first 4 Murderbot Diaries books (can’t yet speak on all of them) is:

I saw this as "what Murderbot has is one skill set- security consultant- so it uses that as a job/cover/excuse/any way it can to get what it wants", but I like your version a lot more. When I re-read, I'm going to keep an eye out for Murderbot making excuses for its "herding instincts"

i think we as a fandom don't talk enough about the apparently canonical existence of FERAL BOTS in tmbd universe. like, what's up with that? how does a hauler bot even become feral?? is it really that much different from a construct going rogue??? shouldn't the humans be panicing about this????
