These Are The Murderbot Artworks Tommy Arnold Did For The Subterranean Press Omnibus Editions Of The

Polynesians did also rely on a form of a physical map called a stick chart, illustrating the specific wave and swell patterns surrounding different island chains. These were particularly helpful during cloudy conditions when the sun and stars were less useful. To navigate the Marshall Islands, the Marshallese represented ocean swell patterns using parts of coconut fronds and shells as islands. Like a subway map, they don’t so much represent distances as they do relationships. The complex and decorative stick charts were often only understood by the person who made them. They were memorised before a voyage by the pilot who would lie on the floor of a canoe to get a sense of swell movement and often lead a squadron of 15 or more boats.

There these seemingly contradictory societal double binds that are used to enforce conformity.

Example: A Lesbian is told that "everyone is actually bi" while a bisexual woman is told to "pick a side". Seems contradictory but really they just want us to be straight lmao.

Another one: A woman who does not perform womanhood to society's standard is not a real woman vs. You can never change the gender you were born with. One is butchphobic/anti gnc women, the other is transphobic. Clearly both enforce transmisogyny.

The insidious thing is that these double binds also foster inter community division. Its easy to hear one side of these, for example: "everyone is a little bi" and assume that means bisexuality is more accepted. But on the other side bisexual people are getting the same shit.

None of these are contradictory when you realize that bigots simply don't want lgbtq+ to exist at all.

Still in progress. ADHD mom of neurodivergent kids here. My executive function is nonexistent.

I have disappointed more loved ones in the past ten years than all my other years put together.

Springtime Hilda! Floral Hilda! Hilda of bright and colorful Nature!

(Part 1 of 3 because Tumblr only allows 10 pics per post - the rest will be in reblogs so stay tuned!)

Incredible. I ship it so hard.

A crossover for the ages.

my one wish for the murderbot series is I want b-roll of ratthi totally reevaluating his relationship to all machines ever

like I want murderbot in its pod panicking about getting treated like a person and then we cut to ratthi gently asking like, a space roomba if it's comfortable and if it has enough food because you don't know, gurathin!

There’s so much I like about this. Andrew’s tummy, from all the ice cream. Realistic scars. The summertime use of bedclothes (that is, GET THEM OFF and sheets only). Sleeping positions. Cats that must be ON the sleeping humans.

They deserve a good nap 😴
