BAFTA 2022

Holbein’s Anne of Cleves has been restored!

trans rights are human rights

free palestine

terfs and zionists will be devoured

The entity that I reconstruct will bloom into a life never before seen.

we get a lot of really great stuff in system collapse about murderbot's relationships with ART and ratthi, which makes sense, because it spends almost the entire book with them. but i also love how even though mensah isn't there for most of the story, other people keep reminding mb of her:

chapter 2, page 25: “From ART’s personnel file, she [Karime] was older than Mensah and she didn’t look like an intrepid space explorer, either, even in the protective environmental suit.”

2, 27: “It took Karime three seconds to process the abrupt statement. (She was almost as good at not looking annoyed as Mensah was.) She kept her expression neutral and patient.”

2, 28: “In the underground colony room, Karime lifted her brows. ‘Another occupied site?’ I thought she was being careful not to show too much reaction. It was the way Mensah would have played it.”

4, 70: “Iris looked at me and I saw her hesitate, because her hesitation looked a lot like Dr. Mensah’s hesitation. And I realized I really didn’t want to go down there.”

5, 104: "Iris has that same thing as Dr. Mensah, the thing where she’s able to look and sound calm under circumstances where shit is possibly about to go down.”

it's spent so much time with her and it knows her so well and respects her so much that she's the model against which it compares all other humans. it thinks about her when they're not together. it's protective of her. it has such total faith in her competence. it (non-romantically) loves her and doesn't want to not see her again. idk man, it just gets to me! and they were teammates (oh my god they were teammates!!)

bonus:

I said, aloud, "You have to be kidding me." (ch. 2, p. 28)

seven pages later, in reaction to the same thing:

Mensah had had time to review the feed video. She muttered, "Oh, you have to be kidding me." Yeah.

An appreciation post for the beautiful Giulia Farnese: she's so smart, kind, and caring. She believed in women's solidarity and showed deep care for Lucrezia, always delicate and tender with her. Giulia proved her worth and loyalty when she rescued Lucrezia from the hands of her abusive husband. Even when she learned that Rodrigo cheated on her, instead of being envious and hating the young artist he cheated with, she offered a threesome. She never disrespected Vanozza but formed a friendship with her. Giulia was also a great asset to the Borgia family, helping establish and strengthen the church's charitable works, securing the pope's legacy, and earning her brother a cardinal's hat. She only departed when her relationship with Rodrigo was no longer working, with his blessing.

happy birthday to my favorite beautiful girl genius writer <3 🍋
