A visual explanation of why stars fall on Earth. Details of The Augsburg Book of Miracles, an illuminated manuscript made in Augsburg in Germany in the 16th century, anonymous author-ess.

The great thing about having friends and acquaintances across a variety of professions is to really hammer home as much as possible the fact there is literally zero correlation between the amount someone actually works, the amount they contribute to society, and how much they make in a year.

I get so sad every time someone says they couldn't get into TLT because they got lost so I MADE THIS. enjoy. Please let me know if Im missing anything or anything is wrong!

I have a wacky idea for an entry in The Murderbot Diaries. It's basically the plot of a heist movie. (No really, I swear it would be good. Please keep reading!) It goes like this:

Murderbot keeps having emergency shutdowns. ART's Medsys finally figures out the problem - a critical piece of hardware is failing. Unfortunately, it is proprietary tech.

"Even if we had it," Murderbot despairs, "we would need a company cubicle to install it."

"Then we go to the Corporation Rim and the company headquarters to steal one," says ART.

And so the caper ensues with all the heist movie tropes:

• A scheme is hatched using all the skills of Perihelion's crew (now including Amena)
• There are disguises (someone has to put on SecUnit armour)
• A last minute change screws up the plan (Murderbot shuts down again)
• They get help from an unlikely source (a company SecUnit)
• Someone is caught but no one gets left behind
• There's even a car chase (ART has to outrun a company gunship)
• Everything works out and Murderbot is saved

But what makes the story interesting (and not just silly) is that because Murderbot keeps passing out it doesn't know everything that's happening. So ART has to write large portions of the diary. Because it's ART, it writes in the third person (so it can refer to itself that way).

I really just want a reason for ART to write one of The Murderbot Diaries...

theres no such thing as tmi to me. i want to live in your ribcage.
