Holy crap -- Automatic Noodle is an instant USA Today and Indie bestseller! Thank you so much, humans and robots, for reading this li'l book and making it soar. Now go eat something! Or get your noodle swag at automaticnoodle.website

Thanks!!! 😊

Bummer. But also yay! Another season!

Oh I need to read that one!

So glad you like it!

Yeah I'm talking about Heated Rivalry, where Ilya and Shane are about to go to the cottage!

Oh no sorry -- I was talking about Heated Rivalry. It's such a great show!!!!

Hard to say for sure. Jacob Tierney, the showrunner, works really fast. We could have another one next year!

Coming tomorrow at midnight EST

It's going to come back.

And there is no way I am not waiting up. I am going to mash that play button so hard.

Murderbot is checking the perimeter. Ilya and Shane are going to the cottage. Even in the darkest times, our imaginations create places for love and safety.

Ugh that is such a great comparison. The extractive model of reading.

Three months ago, my dear friend Hani was murdered while trying to feed his family.

His sister Faten has cancer, and sleeps in a freezing tent with her hands, feet, and eyes swelling more and more every day.

I love this family with all my heart. I can’t keep watching them die.

Yay! I hope the rest of the move is a bit smoother!

That's my favorite cereal

a superlative for extra sweet trans people

Yeah ... you're a gender fluid sweet

Him: Hey sweetie ... oh wait, what is the nonbinary version of sweetie?
Me: Well it's sweetie for feminine, sweeter for masculine, and sweetx for nonbinary.
Him: OK ... sweetx
