remember that time Automattic acquired a cross-platform messaging app and never bothered to add support for Tumblr messaging?

fun fact: for anything invented recently - no matter how benign it may be - the sentence “we’re the first generation with long-term exposure to [that thing]” is both factually accurate AND generally misleading.  USE THIS POWER WISELY, FOR YOU’RE THE FIRST GENERATION WITH LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO THIS FUN FACT

Socrates himself famously said, “the uninteresting life is not worth living” shortly before he died.  Okay, he actually said “the UNEXAMINED life is not worth living” but I punched it up for him for free

“‘They’re going to do something to Time? I thought they weren’t allowed to do things like that.’ NO. BUT HUMANS CAN. IT HAS BEEN DONE ONCE BEFORE. 'No one would be that stu-’ Susan stopped. Of course someone would be that stupid. Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH’, the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.”

“regal” means “Belonging to or befitting a monarch,” which is why in the U.S. it is frequently associated with 1990s computer animation of popcorn kernels exploding over a roller coaster in space

Okay so, I've been sitting on if i should make this post or not for a while but with some of the tags I saw on a recent post mentioning the same thing, I decided to go ahead and say my piece: in my own words:

I've seen some posts in the main tags essentially saying something to the effect of "why do people always draw MB as masculine and not androgynous"

As someone who, like Murderbot, does not have a gender (rather, in my case, associate with one) this always rubs me the wrong way and makes me feel a bit bad about my own identity, which suck because to me, this fandom is a safe space to speak of gender, sexuality and a slew of other things. Like I said, I am gnc, afab in fact; but I look like a guy, I like looking like a guy, I actively try to look like a guy... but i am not a guy. I dont feel like a guy, i just like looking like one. That doesn't mean my identity as a nonbinary/gnc person is suddenly erased because I don't fall under your narrow minded idea that all nonbinary/gnc people need to be androgynous.

I don't owe you perfect androgyny, no one owes you any level of androgyny.

MB is a fictional character with next to no physical descriptions; its not hurting anyone if someone sees it/draws it as masculine or even feminine. You don't get to dictate how people see it, especially when they base it's appearance on themselves

i’m convinced that if you said the phrase “transferable skills” to a recruiter, they would just stare at you with incomprehension
