I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

If a business throws food away rather than giving it to their employees or people in need, they should pay a massive fine.

I mean more than the profit from the food if they sold it. We should ruin any business vile enough to throw away surplus and let people go hungry.
Nobody in the most prosperous time in human history should starve, and we should all treat anyone who suggests otherwise as a danger.
If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.

"But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

Okay, so... Gurathin is *an awesome character.* He's awesome in the books, and he's awesome in #Murderbot the show, and let's just say that David Dastmalchian is doing a fantastic job with his character.

I love an antagonist who is not a villain. And I love how the show supports him. 🧵

I adore Mensah in #Murderbot . Noma Dumezweni is doing SUCH a fantastic job with her. One thing I particularly love is how she 1. has badass instincts 2. is not trained or prepared to be a badass at all 3. is scared as hell 4. works through panic 5. is a badass anyway.

This is a really fun interview with Alexander Skarsgård about Murderbot. Fun insights into his interpretation of the character. Mad props to him for being 100% consistent about Murderbot's "it" pronouns, and you can watch the interviewer picking it up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGxK...

Please wear a mask when you can. Even if you don't always, even if it's not the best mask, even if you didn't this morning and you'd feel silly if you did now... any amount of masking is better than none. Nobody is perfect, we're all doing our best, please mask and protect yourself and everyone ❤️

A clever soul on the New Tideland discord server said Gurathin did the “angry wet cat glare” at the corporates in #Murderbot episode 1 and I had to do it.

First two episodes of Murderbot are absolutely delightful and I’m so happy for @marthawells.com.

I love this title sequence so much! Among other other cool things, the colors of the background when it's on the space journey are the colors of the Sanctuary Moon show.

The audiobook of the novella the first season is based on is a quick listen and your public library may have it. Mine does via Hoopla.
I bought this magazine just because I was so excited and thrilled to see Murderbot in the wild, in my local Tesco!

The TV show really is real and it’s happening this week! Showing on #AppleTV

Eeeeeeek!!

Do watch it, the books by @marthawells.com are amazing and the shows looks fab!

I won't say it's the best feature of "The Murderbot Diaries", but on a personally relatable level I enjoy the repeated implication that most of SecUnit's success as a hacker stems from the fact that it keeps bumping into critical systems where nobody's bothered to change the default wifi password.

It's hazardous to my health specifically when people carve Little Guys out of semi-translucent stones because my brain will not be persuaded that that's not a gummy bear, and some day I'm going to test that theory.

Your nostalgia for HP does not and never will be more important than trans lives, safety and welfare.

Get rid of the media, stop buying the merch and don't support new things cause it just lines that hateful transphobes pockets so she can continue to use her wealth for evil.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
