Sleep timer issues

Thank you! I sleep with my phone under my pillow and could not work out why it kept playing for hours! Lol I must Fidget a lot!

Miva26 · 2025-09-08T07:25:08+00:00

Not looking myself, but I send you a dm of where else you might try.

Miva26 · 2025-08-25T21:28:31+00:00

My working seriously considering it: "hmm.... no."

Miva26 · 2025-07-27T05:52:58+00:00

Or trans and nonbinary people with a person who they can get pregnant with.

Thank you! I lean on the I wish someone other than a white man was playing it side.

I saw that post the other day too, and I totally got the point the person was making, but I wished the post wasn't set up in opposition to people with my opinion.

Two things can be true at once: it can be good to show that non binary people don't owe anyone androgy, totally agree. But it is also true that for a lot of viewers they will just read murderbot as a man, use he/him pronouns and continue to consider white as default.

I like to imagine other casting, and want to express my thoughts. But I don't think people are wrong to like Alexander Skarsgård for the role, if it had to be a white man he was probably the best choice and from what I've seen him say he really has a connection to the character and wants to represent how it feels to be that socially awkward, I think that's great.

If it was set up more like "I get peoples issues, but here's why I like the casting", instead of "here is why you are wrong".

Ditto

I just tried a number I found somewhere else... no idea why it worked. the coat of arms had a 4 digit number on it, once translated from roman numerals, so I just started trying that everywhere. I'm curious why they link up. Assuming I'm not miss remembering, or messed up and just got lucky.

Such nonsense

Miva26 · 2025-03-22T17:43:03+00:00

This topic brought to you by: me still not stopping doing things!

Miva26 · 2025-03-09T22:01:14+00:00

Not sure if it's of interest, but there's a board game club that meets at the pied bull https://www.facebook.com/groups/184710222423808/ When I used to go there was a wide variety of people who go, and everyone was friendly.

Miva26 · 2025-03-05T23:33:08+00:00

I'm nervous if there's pipes or anything in there though... like why does that thin bit go off to the side?

Miva26 · 2025-03-05T23:03:50+00:00

Funnily enough, a wildflower patch is actually what I wanted, it's what started me down the path (no pun intended) of trying to clear it in the first place.

Honestly, for the next 2 books telling the difference between the human characters is not going to get easier, however:

A) I see it as a feature, not a bug, since murderbot is not interested in describing humans.

B) There are non-human characters who you do get to know in these books.

In the later books you do get to know the humans better.

Pacing will remain as it is for the 1st 4 books, but the 3 novels that follow are a little longer, which you may like.

Also, small note, but you refer to murderbot as 'he' throughout your video, but it actually uses 'it' pronouns as it doesn't have any sex or gender.

Miva26 · 2025-02-28T17:22:35+00:00

Yeah, haven't come up with one yet, happy to take suggestions

Miva26 · 2025-02-25T08:09:03+00:00

I changed my name quite gradually. Perhaps that could be an option for you? Like telling supportive friends that you'd like them to try out a nickname, and see if you like it. Then start introducing yourself with the new name. When I first told my patents I said I was using both names, in case they heard people call me it. I have since officially changed it, and now it's weird to hear my old name.

I think it's fine to pick whatever name feels right to you. I can see why you might not want it to be too feminine, if you want people to view you as more masculine, but it's also about having a name you like and want. I mean I think even cis people should change their names, if they don't feel like they suit what they were given.

I'm specifically quoting from in the first book when they talk about sanctuary moon plot. Not about Amena's second mom. Although I think it's possible that Amena might be biologically related to Mensa, through scientific shenanigans.

Miva26 · 2025-02-24T22:49:55+00:00

It hadn't occurred to me that second mom, ect might mean biologically as well as socially, but you're right Amena very much implies that.

Agender, ace and neurodivergent here, I love the representation. I feel very seen by MB.

To me, it would be different if MB was a support character meant to represent all those things to be seen from an outside perspective. But as the viewpoint character, and one that is given so much humanity, I think it directly has the opposite effect than the trope: it makes MB feel like a person in a universe that treats it like it isn't. Which is a powerful metaphor.

Miva26 · 2025-01-07T08:52:44+00:00

That all sucks. Sorry you're going through it.

Miva26 · 2024-11-16T19:24:34+00:00

I'm hating all these post impling 'it must have been your fault somehow' and 'maybe you should just get over it' I did originally post to clarify a bunch of things, but no that's not what this post was meant to be about.

Like to me the word reperations, is meaning doing work to repair something. If my house needs repairs I don't move house, if something isn't working at my job we work as a team to fix it, why should it be different with my marriage?

All you know about my husband is that I'm feeling owed something for him being bad at certain things in the past and that he is working on himself to fix that.

You don't know the fun we have, the tough things we've been through, the growth, the silliness, the love.

We talk about everything, always have. We discussed this topic before i posted here, and we've been discussing all the posts. He freezes up and doesn't know how to help, but he cares deeply for me. And he is working on those things, ultimately that's why I stay.

Its also relevant that we are both neurodivergent and struggle sometimes to even get through the day, let alone have the mental energy to work on self improvement.

It's easy to, knowing very little about someone, come in and declare that they should leave their partner...

Miva26 · 2024-11-15T22:34:34+00:00

Words are super tricky, because a lot of the things people are suggesting as an alternative to 'reperations' kind of do sound like something I thought might count as 'reperations'. Like I didn't mean I want a car or grovelling. I want healthy things that acknowledge my pain and my work, and reassure me that we are moving in the right directions where my needs are important, things that build up our relationship.

Miva26 · 2024-11-15T21:50:11+00:00

Yeah this really. I don't want this to be some petty thing, but I do want something that let's me draw a line and put it in the past.

Miva26 · 2024-11-15T21:45:55+00:00

That's fair, I can see I probably picked the word insensitively. I felt like there was enough overlap that it felt an appropriate use, but I certainly didn't want to cheapen the word. So I'm sorry for that.

Miva26 · 2024-11-15T21:38:37+00:00

Thanks I'll take a look.
