I am so excited! I just received a commissioned drawing of me (which started out as a MB comfortunit, but totally ended up with me as a Firefly/Serenity Companion)! I'm going to have her printed on watercolor poster paper & framed for my parlor. I used to be a dancer, and she really looks like me! Well, if I wore makeup any more.
Thank you so much @homosekularnost for your awesome work!

Murderbot Is ‘More Relatable Than Most Characters I’ve Played’, Says Alexander Skarsgård via Empire
By Ben Travis | Published on 8th April 2025 at 7.09am
Alexander Skarsgård has played all kinds of roles over the years. He’s been a centuries-old vampire; a vengeful viking; a writer having a very, very bad holiday. But nothing has quite spoken to him like his latest role: Murderbot, in Murderbot. He’s taking on the lead role in Apple TV+’s adaptation of Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries novels, playing a security cyborg who – to its own inconvenience – starts to relate more and more to humanity, whilst deriding our mortal foibles.
“Ironically, I found Murderbot more relatable than most characters I’ve ever played,” Skarsgård tells Empire in a major new career-spanning interview – particularly as a character who’s always on the outside, looking in on the rest of society. “There’s a social awkwardness, or just trying to figure out how to fit into a group,” he says.
While the story of Murderbot – created for TV by Chris and Paul Weitz – unfolds in a sci-fi milieu, there’s a comedic element too, through Murderbot’s detached view of the world. “It’s not interested in humans, humans are idiots,” says Skarsgård. “It’s kind of appalled by them, and it’s been treated horribly by all its clients up until this moment. But then it ends up on this weird planet with this weird group of humans that are outside the corporate system, and they don’t believe in indentured servitude, they want to talk to Murderbot and invite Murderbot in, instead of storing it in the tool shed, like other clients have done, and that freaks Murderbot out.” Maybe we’re all a bit Murderbot – get ready for the most relatable show of 2025.
Hmmmm, a mixed duet?
@official-penis-posts this one's for you...
@differentcatcat this is what I was talking about. The trumpet is a braying ass. Wtf? Wtf? Wtf next?
The United States is requiring businesses and government offices in Stockholm, Sweden, to comply with the Trump administration's anti-DEI policies, according to Swedish news outlet Dagens Nyheter.
For anyone who finds it helpful, I've started a YouTube playlist to save all the trailers, interviews, and other promo videos for 'Murderbot' in one place. The playlist, called Murderbot TV, is linked below:
I thighed, too. And thirsted. And burned. And now I think we need to see need more thigh.
I'm still mesmerized by that pic, I'll be living there for a while. I saw it and immediately

An article in Escapist magazine about why the Murderbot show changed some things from the book and how Chris and Paul Weitz involved Martha Wells in that process:
This was offered to me on Pinterest today, and I saved it because the good stuff only last 48 hours there, tops!
