I Think It's So Funny How We Bred JOBS Into Dogs. I Have Two Shih Tzus And They Were Bred To Be Lap Dogs.

Bad news: Hannah lost her job.

Good news: she’s selling Inn Between stickers!

Hannah’s ko-fi shop is now offering the stickers that we usually reserve for crowdfund and Patreon supporters to EVERYONE. That’s right, that includes you!

These beautiful babies could be yours!

I've opened a Ko-fi shop. Come take a look!

absolutely iconic (”the ‘perpetual broths’ that simmer for decades”, atlas obscura)

Hobbit au where Tolkien can’t write poetry very well, but still wants to, so the dwarf song is:

Roses are red

Thorin’s our captain

Now let’s all go kill

That big fuckin’ dragon

With Three and the potential for more SecUnit characters, I think we are all excited for ones with very different quirks and interests than our Murderbot.

My thought: SecUnits don't have a digestive track, but they have a sense of smell, and it is unclear if they have taste buds. I would propose they likely do, because their mouths seems to be organic (although I have some questions about how that works in regards to saliva. I have many questions about how secunits work but I respect Martha Wells' decision not to tell us) and I can't think of a reason to reduce the ability to taste.

My idea: a SecUnit who is a foodie. It gets really into the TASTE of food. It either licks the food or chews it and spits it out. It gets really excited to try new restaurants with friends and never acknowledges the weirdness of how it interacts with food.

I just imagine the horror and amusement on the faces of its dining companions as it just excitedly licks a very nice steak or something.

Rereading Fugitive Telemetry and I propose:

SecUnit, Ratthi, and Gurathin play D&D.

(ART is the DM because of course it is.)

i would rather help 100000 fakers than make life harder for a single disabled person

True crime podcast but you realize as you're listening that the host is just describing episodes of Scooby-Doo

[Tweet from @/fozmeadows: "human gender and sexuality are very much like animal taxonomy, in that both look structured and simple on the surface, but once you start investigating, it turns out there's actually no such thing as a fish despite the fact that we all know what a fish is, and that's okay"]

This probably sounds obvious, but I learned today that prisoners aren't protected by OSHA regulations, and that this is another reason why employers are so eager to utilize this modern slavery. It's only a couple cents an hour, less transportation costs than the overseas sweatshops, and if you want people to work with hazardous materials without proper training? That's fine too! Prison labor is the ultimate free market solution!
