Made an account so I could thank the Murderbot creators for including indigenous practices/cultures/themes in their futuristic sci-fi. Thinking of sticking around for the Murderbot fandom. I am participating!

Happy birthday to Noma Dumezweni! Who plays the best sci-fi co-lead ever: the intrepid galactic explorer, Dr Mensah, Madame President! Mensah from #murderbot - the only TV show I know with a mature black woman co-lead 🥰💖✨I can’t wait for season 2! She’s a delight! Thank you Noma & @marthawells.com

Murderbot does a GREAT line in sarcastic and darkly humorous, whilst remaining utterly adorable…perhaps Murderbot 2.0? Who wouldn’t want to be narrated by sentient kill-ware? Like I was saying yesterday: Sometimes you’re just in a CodeBundle.FuckThem & CodeBundle.FuckThisToo kind of mood…

Text snippet from Network Effect:

1) CodeBundle.LockItDown had closed all the hatches on board except those directly between Sec-Unit 3's position and the shuttle access.
2) CodeBundle.FuckThem had fried all targetDrones.
3) CodeBundle.FuckThisToo had cut the connections between the sol-id-state screen device and the humans' implants. Oh, and I shut down life support on the bridge so the Targets in there would be thinking about other things besides restarting their screen.

Finished Platform Decay and it's my 3rd fave or 2nd fave in the whole series. I ADORED seeing SecUnit continue to make new friends of different types, it has such a huge support network now! It has a family of sorts! It's a mentor-figure! It is A THIRD MOM to EVERYONE. Friends! TY @marthawells.com

It took me so many hours but eventually I landed on these 2 scenes in @marthawells.com series. My heart for when it leaves Mensah and then reunites to Mensah. It says its name… Im ready for the new book! It’s not released in Australia until 12May so I preordered ebook and hope I get that on 5th

With the new Murderbot Diary out a week tomorrow (Platform Decay, released 5th May!): What is your favourite scene in @marthawells.com ’s wonderful series? I know it’s a HARD ASK, so many brilliant bits to choose from.. #murderbot #TMBD #PlatformDecay Mine is almost certainly the one below:

("I don't want to be a pet robot."
"I don't think anyone wants that."
That was Gurathin. I don't like him.
"I don't like you."
"Iknow."
He sounded like he thought it was
funny. "That is not funny."
"I'm going to mark your cognition
level at fifty-five percent."
"Fuck you."
"Let's make that sixty percent.")

With the first #Murderbot & #Mensah fanfic event finishing on #AO3, I managed to upload 33k across 6 stories (and 2 of those stories are WIPs to keep working on!) It has been so much fun, I've had the best time writing and consuming nothing but #mensahbot archiveofourown.org/series/5840001
