Went to a nude beach and spent the whole time searching for colorful bits of sand 🖤🩶🤍💜 Most of it was glass but one piece was a pretty green mineral

Listening to Fugitive Telemetry and really missing our “lawyer version of a combat bot” Pin-Lee. I’m enjoying the show and I even like their Pin-Lee but I’m a little sad we’re not getting book Pin-Lee on screen in Murderbot

More reason to love Libro.fm

Got inspired and made my first cross stitch pattern yesterday. I’m going to need to make several of these and gift them around 🔇

Quote repost with your pride flags! I spent a lot of time figuring out my identity to ultimately just toss it all under “queer” but visibility matters so here at the communities I identify with most ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Girl, SAME. “I can’t tell you how heartbreaking and frustrating and exhausting it is to be a federal scientist,” one federal worker told Mother Jones recently. “I still love my job and the mission of my agency, and I truly and fervently hope I don’t lose it.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

What have I done committing to this project *sob* it’s been two hours and I have a new deep hatred of industrial embroidery #debranding #mending #minimaism

Top surgery is actually happening. I’m waiting for a call in a week or two to schedule surgery - it could be this summer! It’s been such a long time coming and I’m so relieved. Please send good vibes for the final stages in this process #queer #enby #topsurgery

me with trans impostor syndrome: uuggghhhhh why would anyone ever want their boobs all they do is get in the way and make outfits look stupid and cause me back pain

Just your regular friendly reminder that Murderbot uses it/it's pronouns Murderbot is canonically asexual, agender, and not human and very much likes it that way I know it's hard (I'm still fucking it up regularly esp when looking at Skarsgard) but it is a central part of the character #murderbot

This week’s Murderbot episode is criminally short but I almost have a bingo! (Yes, I realize I could have gotten a bingo with “human’s shouldn’t do their own security” but I decided to be strict last week and wait for Murderbot to say it 😠) #Murderbot #MurderbotBingo @marthawells.com

Are any of my mending/cross-stitching folks doing debranding? I thrifted this cute hat and really hate the dark brand name on the light background Will it look bad if I rip out the embroidery? Is it better to cover it up? #debranding #mending #thrifting #thrifted #ClothingAlteration

Gentle reminder that Murderbot uses it/its pronouns in the book and show I know it’s hard not to use he/him looking at Skarsgård but Murderbot is canonically genderless and sexless and it likes it that way #Murderbot

#murderbot episode 1

Me seeing the forest in Murderbot because I’d recognize those PNW trees anywhere #Murderbot

Murderbot bingo update! Episode 3 in orange. So much “snark is off the charts” and “Ratthi being a gem” that we had to check them off again #Murderbot #MurderbotBingo #AppleTV @marthawells.com

happy Murderbot Eve to all who celebrate

I WANT TO HUG MURDERBOT BUT I WON’T

Murderbot absolutely should have been played by a genderqueer person but I begrudgingly admit that Alexander Skarsgård is doing great job. All the casting is great really. Akshay Khanna as Ratthi is truly a gem #Murderbot #AppleTV

No change in the bingo card after episode 2 but I’ve started a list of “not on my bingo card”. We absolutely could have predicted eye contact and alien remnants but diminutive nicknames for Gurathin? Never would have expected it but I love it

Murderbot bingo at the end of episode 1! #Murderbot #bingo @marthawells.com

Minor spoilers. Halfway through episode 1 #Murderbot #bingo @marthawells.com

The first 3 episodes of Murderbot are live on Apple TV RIGHT NOW. Hyperventilating and popping popcorn. Let’s goooooo @marthawells.com #Murderbot #AppleTV
