^ This is Brownie. I’ve had him since I was 1 year old, apparently. I remember insisting that teddy bears were 1 when they are born, so that we would be the same age.
I had a whole bunch of stuffed toys as a kid, but he’s the only one I have left, and the others vanished when my parents moved.
^ Mittens. When I moved to the city for university, my grandma sent her to me, because I’d never lived without cats before, and she didn’t want me to be lonely. <3
^ Shelby. I got her at the Denver Aquarium when we went to the US to visit the aforementioned grandma. I’m so glad she got to meet my wife, and Shelby will always remind me of that trip.
^ Squiddy. I got him from the free box at the thrift store we used to live next to. Honestly, I was just amazed at the idea of a plush squid.
^ Mortimer. He was a birthday present from my wife. She also got me turtle socks. (Can you guess yet what my favourite animal is?)
^ Myrtle the Purple Turtle. Some work friends got her for me as a surprise when I came out to them. She lived on my work desk for ages.
^ Moira. My first dragon plushie. She always looks sad.
^ Ember. Both she & Moira were birthday presents the same year, but I don’t remember which one I got first.
Ember sometimes comes in the car or my purse with me.
^ Meryl. She’s a weighted lap turtle that I got not terribly long after my autism diagnosis, and after we discovered the joy of weighted blankets. I sit with her on my lap every single day.
^ Poppy is so huge & so huggable. I got her as a gift to myself for making it through the first lockdown in 2020.
^ Gizmo. A Nameday present from my mum. He fits on my shoulder.
^ Romeo. A Valentine’s gift from my wife <3
^ Charity. I bought her with an Easter egg this year, with my first paycheck from my new job.
^ Millicent! I got her at a craft market just last weekend. @thankyouforyourcooperation saw the same stall, and was tempted to buy her (or a sibling) for me.

Well I asked the host of the community radio station of a small desert town and he said "Don't let numbers tell you what to do. You are blood and earth, not theory and chalk", so maybe think about that.
things that I believe in my HEART are on the Beatles' message to Earth (Project Hail Mary)
taumoeba (obviously)
instructions on how to use taumoeba (obviously)
50+ hrs of unedited footage of Grace fucking up a bunch of stuff in the ship
so much info about Eridian language
1700+ hrs of unedited footage of Grace and Rocky fucking up a bunch of shit in the ship
Cannot emphasize how much info on the eridian sentence structure there is here
a weirdass knit sweater pattern that takes people weeks to realize is for Rocky
literally hundreds of pages of Grace just describing Eridian linguistic history which like honestly isn't even his field why should we even listen to this guy- (hes the only one to ever fucking met an intelligent alien Dave. we'll take him at his word)
Why the Goldilocks Zone is for Idiots Part 2: Biological Diversity all across the Petrova Line (subtitled "We haven't found them yet BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY DONT FUDHING EXIST-")
what are essentially just those reaction videos "Alien watches Legally Blonde for the first time" "Alien gives thoughts on movie Cats (2019)" "You'll never believe what this Alien thinks of the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox"
Grace's modified cardigan charts because someone was asking for them on his Ravelry and he never actually got around to posting them
(people have already fully recreated this cardigan just months after his launch. but they appreciate it)
very respective, kind eulogies for everyone who died in this mission (Grace AND Rocky's crew)
a lace shawl pattern inspired by the petrova line with a beaded fringe. knitters everywhere weep in despair because those instructions are gOD AWFUL, the man had 0 (zero) test knitters AND THERES NO PICTURES FUCK

Hi my name is Murderbot SecUnit Eden Security Consultant Rin and I have guns built into my arms and am a heartless killing machine (that's how I got my name) with hair that is definitely a color and eyes that are also probably a color and a lot of people tell me I look like Flight Commander Kogi (AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to anyone because I am a bot construct but if I was I wouldn’t care if they were hot or not because sex is gross. I'm a SecUnit but my governor module is hacked and broken. I have vat-grown skin that I never describe the color of because I don’t care. I'm also a security consultant, and I go to a sentient university transport called Asshole Research Transport (Perihelion) in Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland where I'm in the ??? year (I'm indeterminate age because it’s confusing. do you count from my assembly date? or my last memory wipe? who fucking knows). I'm a SecUnit (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly clothes with pockets. I love Sanctuary Moon and I get all my ideas from there.
One like nitpick thing that drives me crazy is when people call Blue Whales the largest whales or the largest living mammals or some shit like that
Because yes that is true. But when you frame it like that you are completely disregarding the absolutely batshit reality that Blue Whales are the largest animals that have ever existed on earth through the entire history of the planet and they are alive right now today
As a break from the Stormlight Archive books (I plan to alternate my way through the series), I read Lady's Knight by Meagan Spooner & Amie Kaufman. I can only describe it as "A Knight's Tale but lesbians". Delightful. It starts out with kitchen knife demos & pinning parking violations on horses, so you know it's not taking the medieval thing seriously. It's fun & silly, but also earnest.
I'm now 3/5ths of the way through Words of Radiance, which is following on from The Way of Kings seamlessly.
I'm also trucking on through The Two Towers audiobook.

if you see a Jabberwocky in an American National Park i cannot stress this enough you HAVE to report them to the nearest Park ranger. I know, I know, they fill human hearts with terror and whimsy in equal measure, but they are an aggressively invasive species in the Americas. Jackalopes are at risk of becoming extinct because during shedding season they have no natural defences against jaws that bite and claws that catch.
You don't have to worry about them killing it, they're actually endangered in England due to Victorian Era overhunting, so the British government's provided the National Park service with Vorpal Tranquilizer Darts so they can safely transport them to their native British Countryside where they can feast on borogroves and jubjub birds to their hearts' content.
Yet another newly hatched egg here: I had a dream about being trans and the symbolism was so trite I’m kinda mad at myself. I was at a party having a bad time and then I found a mirror in a corner and my reflection was a girl and she was having a good time at her party. What kind of basic bitch Intro To Film 101 ass high school art class level symbolism is this.
The first dozen inceptions were a lot more subtle, but you weren't taking the hint.
I love Sam and Daniel as an example of two people that are nerds together even though they aren't nerds about the same thing
Sam isn't crazy interested in egyptology and Daniel isn't crazy interested in astrophysics but they still listen to each other ramble because they understand how it feels to be So Into something that you just HAVE to talk about it - I also like to imagine that because of this, they both become rather knowledgeable on each other's respective study, not like they're experts or anything but more like they know a bunch of random facts and concepts that would really surprise people. ALSO also, they start getting excited about things if they relate back to the other's area of study because that means they can show them it and see them get super excited and giddy about it

So my dear friend @echo-has-queries just walked in on me doing my makeup to say "actually I don't care if he was diagnosed or not. Eva Stratt should have taken one look a That Man and packed him some adhd medication for the one-way trip. Grace can have some space meth, as a treat." (okay I'm paraphrasing but this WAS the gist of the conversation)
So I was like, why stop there? We've already established that Stratt personally picked out his nerd wardrobe for the trip, and trained him up to be a potential replacement. If she didn't need Both Those Coffees she might have gone the wilson/house route and medicated him like that.
So imagine if you will, Ryland Grace, Grace Ryland, still amnesiac, unpacking the personal belongings and going:
And actually it's like, why stop there? Grace was in that coma for three years his time. I'm sure the NannyBot and the comagruel could do a lot in that time. Grace Ryland, waking up; and she can't quite explain how something feeling RIGHT can feel WRONG. Maybe it's a good thing that she's all alone, because how can she explain that there's a niggling feeling that she's not supposed to feel at home in her own body?
Memory is malleable. Sometimes, looking back, you forget you didn't always look the way you look now. So even as it all starts coming back, it's not -
Well it isn't right, either. Because sometimes she remembers things that simply don't make sense, in the context. And sometimes there are flashes of... feelings. Memories of looking into the mirror and feeling disappointed. But why?
And slowly, slowly, it starts making sense, but - god, at this point she could have sworn all her memories are back. Why can't she remember exactly when she started transitioning?
It's two years into her stay on Erid that Grace Ryland sits bolt upright in the middle of the night, startling Rocky and Adrian and herself most of all.
"Eva motherfucking Stratt," she spits. "You didn't."
--
She never does make it back to Earth, but there is one more Beatle that does. This one is marked as private and confidential.
It shows Grace, holding up a printout of the nutrition details from the years she spent asleep.
"Just because you do know better than everyone else in the room," she states flatly, "Doesn't mean you just get to act in it. You asshole.
Eva Stratt, seeing this guy who goes by a feminine name both in professional and his personal life, who is careful not to get too close to anyone, and who is every queer student's favorite teacher for no particular reason whatsoever: I HAVE A SUGGESTION.
