Odd & Delightful

she's platonic about it but in my opinion, stratt 100% treats grace as her dead wife. she keeps a tacky fox trinket in her coat pocket. there's a framed photo of him in her study . he's grinning goofily in it (bc he's a dork). new guy like: is that her husband? / no, dumbass, it's dr. ryland grace, 1/3 of the hail mary mission. / oh, fuck. were they... ? / yeah, it's unclear. black-and-white montages of grace messing around in high-level meetings play every time stratt contemplates committing more environmental crimes. she looks up at the night sky and vaguely wonders if he's enjoying his space ramen. that's her dead wife. she killed him.

rocky's crew dying from radiation exposure, something humans go to great lengths to prevent and are very scared of and ryland's crew dying in their "sleep" with nobody watching, something eridians go to great lengths to prevent and are very scared of. cool book that is easy to read through your tears.

had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header “the forcefeminization of victor frankenstein”

i really like how the milkman exists as an entirely fossilized character who now serves no purpose other than to fuck people's wives for the punchline

"queer-owned business" means nothing anymore. OpenAI and Palantir are both queer-owned businesses.

if this is how you find out that both sam altman and peter thiel are gay im sorry

this is why everyone on this website is a virgin

I’m not gonna fuck the telemarketer man

the ashtrays in airplane bathrooms are a fascinating harm reduction metaphor. yes it's illegal as hell to smoke in there. yes there's a smoke detector that will snitch on you the second you light up. so why is there an ashtray? because if there weren't, your single momentary dumbass crime could kill 300 people. it is fucking vital that if someone does have a lit cigarette on a plane, they have a place to safely put it out.

dude it's just politics, it doesn't matter. all it does is shape every single aspect of the society you live in from the second you are born until forever

still living with my parents as an adult is just like. i'm grateful to not have to pay for groceries. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful to have a roof over my head and not have to pay rent. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful to not have to worry about sending out endless job applications that all lead to nowhere. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful i'm grateful i'm so fucking grateful. i have to get out of here

I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

imagine there is one semi-redeemed dalek who works at the space dmv. they hired it because it makes lines go quicker. someone forgets their papers and instead of arguing about it, they hear a dalek start yelling PAPERWORK. PAPERWORK. and they apologize profusely and leave.

"average dalek doesn't kill anyone in its lifetime" actually statistical error. dalek todd, who works at the space dmv and has actually saved lives by providing spaceship driver's licenses, is an outlier and should not be counted

space dmv gets denied proper funding for equipment the fifth year in a row and dalek todd unleashes all his hatred onto updating all their computers with superior dalek tech so that they can process requests faster. everyone loves dalek todd. he's a joy to have in the workplace. sometimes he'll tell you that you would make a better dalek then [insert species here] and he would convert you in a heartbeat, but we think that's just his way of being friendly. if balance your coffee on top of his head when he gets mad, it heats up.

dalek todd was not involved in the time war because and i quote "THE DALEK EMPIRE DID NOT REGISTER ITS WAR SHIPS PROPERLY. SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT TIME LORDS BUT THEIR PAPERWORK IS IN ORDER. I WILL HAVE TO FINE EMPEROR DAVROS TEN BILLION SPACE DOLLARS."

science has always been political. what gets studied. what doesnt. who gets to do the studying. on and on and on.

as a child being told "the moon controls the tides" with no additional explanation was like. oh okay. you want me to believe in magic? you're talking about magic right now? okay. fine
