Summary
Humans often look up as if I'm hidden in the upper bulkhead, but obviously I'm not there. They just need a direction to address, presumably because they feel as though they are talking to themselves otherwise. I'm used to being imperceptible.
I'd never felt so perceived before meeting SecUnit. -

The media claimed to be "based on a true story" - but was it? -

Summary
“Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
“Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
“Had four years on ship.”
“Busy then too.”
Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
“Science!”
“Whole time science question? Four years!”
“Is much science in universe!”--
Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.

Summary
“ART,” I said the moment I entered its airlock. “Would you marry me?”
Are you asking? it replied.
“No, dumbass. Hypothetically.”

Turns out marriage comes with more advantages than just housing and tax benefits: it can also get you out of uncomfortable situations!

Summary
Murderbot and Perihelion, agender, asexual, aromantic, and human. Not that it stops them from having feelings about each other, capitalism, the homeless pandemic, and existence in general.
Friends from school, they find each other again 10 years later and build the life together that they should have had from the start. Meals are cooked, pets are adopted, and family is found.
This has grown into a monster with no hint of stopping. At this point I'm just having a great time typing my life away.
