Being Raised Culturally Christian Protestant Atheist Is Funny, Actually. I Was Never Taught That Hell

Being raised culturally christian protestant atheist is funny, actually. I was never taught that Hell is literally real or that I should believe in it, or that you go there for being gay. I was told that I'm free to do whatever I want with my life, for as long as I'm doing something constructive and working hard to achieve it. Wanting to suck dick isn't a sin, but wanting to do fuck all sure is one.

I never had to cope with some traumatic realisation that homosexuality is an inherent part of who I am that no amount of repression, prayer or conversion therapy could make it go away. I'm just sitting here contemplating the idea that maybe I never have been and never will be a hardworking, career-driven, passionate and ambituous Dedicated To Their Life's Work kind of a person.

I don't believe in Hell but I'm still convinced I'll go there if all I want to do with my life is to stare at walls.

sixteen was on for a bit today but she has really bad anxiety so we put her back on standby bc she doesn’t do well with crowds

i really need to stop personifying the self checkout registers at the supermarket i work at but they all have such distinct personalities

#1 is lactose intolerant (she has inexplicable issues with milk) and she’s full of soup

#2 has some nerve issues (her scale is broken) and so she’s in standby a lot of the time so she doesn’t get overstimulated

#4 can’t remember a phone number to save her life

and #8 has been in standby for like a week because her coin slot stopped working

me with skylanders spyro’s adventure

it’s a pretty easy game but if you limit yourself to one character and limit upgrades it’s actually difficult and it’s super fun

reminding me i need to work on my robotgirl short stories

Y’know maybe it’s the autism talking, but those robot girlies have something going on:

The ability to turn off and on any sensory information

Hard outside that can just be rinsed and buffed when it gets dirty

Swappable parts

Aesthetically pleasing whether they’re factory-fresh or war-torn

Un/Under emotional except for a few quirks unrecognizable except for the people closest to them

Robot girl, finally back online after a year and a half, looking at the newly outfitted soldering station. There's a lot more tools on it than there were when she last closed her eyes: Inspection microscopes, hot air reflow, EEPROM programmers, logic analyzers, thermal cameras and regulated power supplies. She starts to tear up when she sees the video history of her partner (and repairperson): months and months of electronic tutorials, starting simple ("what is a circuit?") and towards the end there's PCB design classes and CCC videos about reverse engineering secure processor firmware.

"You did all this, for me?" she asks, her voice sounding different from how she remembers it, lacking the stutterglitch and 8-bit audio harshness. Her partner smiles. "I thought I'd lost you... I couldn't live with that. I had to!"

She hugs them in a pile of spare parts, servos moving smoothly for the first time in decades, pressure sensors finally accurate enough to hold them without risk of crushing them.

Sometimes, love is stored in the soldering iron.
