DO NOT watch Ann Droid with another neurodivergent person. mum and i are just going around the house shouting "Sue! Sue! Sue!" at each other

Sue! Sue! Sue!

Just finished watching Ann Droid. And it may have started out as a commentary on AI but as someone who works in social care I ended up finding it a pretty poignant (if unintentional) commentary on care work and the value we bring to the lives of the people we care for that many don't often see or overlook, and the very real and strong bond we have with them, no matter how unconventional.

It felt like it was a very intentional choice in the writing to go along with the themes of aging, and grieving the loss of your partner and who you used to be with them.

Also sometimes you and your friend are both in Torment Mazes, different ones, and while yours is way hotter, you know that your friend's has just so many more rusty nails than yours does, and so you and your friend vent to one another about your respective Torment Mazes and sympathize in a way that makes very clear that it's not a Torment Maze Olympics, there is no competitive element about whose Torment Maze is worse, and you both just genuinely wish the other to be freed from their Torment Maze as soon as humanly possible
