Tag sieben der Arbeitslosigkeit.
Blick in den Kühlschrank sagt mir, Essen wäre eine gute Idee.
Man kann nicht von Soßen und Dips alleine leben.

Gestern mit "Tagebuch eines Killerbots" von Martha Wells angefangen.
Ist mal was anderes.

Scheinbar gibt es eine Serie auf Apple TV #murderbot , hat hier jemand die gesehen und kann mir eine Einschätzung liefern?

This is one of my absolute favorite exchanges in the #Murderbot Diaries. In Network Effect.

SecUnit has an idea it knows is questionable but when ART points that out a couple of pages later it totally refuses to admit it even to itself ❤️

Network Effect by Martha Wells
A Murderbot Novel

What an exciting addition to the Murderbot series - a full length novel!

I've read the first four novellas in order and this fifth one in the series was a terrific book which eclipsed them all except for maybe the first one, because how can anything be better than that?

Martha Wells writes action really well and navigates the fascinating terrain of Murderbot's pysche expertly.

I need richly varied portrayals of Murderbot.
It makes me feel less gross and weird in my skin knowing there's a wide variety of people in the world. I don't know exactly how to put it. A friend of mine's mother had plastic surgery done, as was relatively common in her part of the world in Iran at that time in her social cadre, to make her nose look white european, and has always regretted it. That kind of blandening of humanity, where there's a particular kind of human phenotype that's to be considered default from which all others deviate, makes me feel like yeeting my flesh not in the sense of some kind of upload or ascension but in the sense of "skin bad no skin."
Ironically, I match that phenotype, pretty well, I think that actually makes it worse in a way? In a different way than if I didn't.
The white blonde Murderbot, the dark-skinned Murderbots, the Murderbots with what are traditionally considered feminine features or masculine features, the Murderbots with voices that are basses or altos or tenors, the Murderbots with curly hair, the Murderbots with straight hair. I need them all, I need to feel that humanity and things made to appear human are so much more than a hegemonically advantaged default from which all else is deviation.
