@NASAJPL @bbcdoctorwho Petition for there to be an episode of Doctor Who where Oppy is found and rescued and lives in the TARDIS. #OpportunityRover #DoctorWho

@Kijani_Nyota @saltedsan I feel this.

@saltedsan I write with the power of autism and occasional alcohol abuse. Clankers can't take that from me. Especially when i write anything but perfectly.

AO3 writers I would rather read your fic with grammar mistakes, with simple sentences, with repetitive ideas all the time I love, anything, and wait for a new chapter from you for days, weeks, or even years (I’ve been there) than knowing that you’re using AI for your writing.

@Ginevra_Nathy @saltedsan Discord servers. They’re a goldmine. I’m the resident “got stuck in an English boarding school one time” alleged expert in mine.

@saltedsan I must say it, I asked Chat GPT about the hours of breakfast and lunch, school schedules and that bc I'm not from USA ✋😭

@saltedsan My betas are busy today, so people just gotta wait. I’m not worried about spelling mistakes, I wanna know if I can make shit more unhinged. XD (I’m totally worried about spelling and grammar)

@ScottishSuffra1 So… basically… like millions of children before him, he sat through a standard religious education lesson. Is it his Mum going down there? Because unless you have guardian rights, they’re not actually required to do anything.

My grandson came home yesterday and told his mum that they had a lesson on muslims, and their religion in school that day. Today, my family decided that as Christians, catholics, and with Jewish relatives as well as women's rights activists aplenty within our family, this was not appropriate, needed, or wanted. Monday, the head teacher will have a complaint she never imagined, she will never forget and will never wish repeated.

@Amelia558rs This dress is stunning. Absolutely keep it!

Now I'm two months from the wedding, and my entire bridal party is "gently suggesting" I find something more "classic." My mother-in-law offered to buy me a "proper" dress from David's Bridal. But when I put this on, I see my grandmother's garden, her stories about village celebrations, the culture she left behind when she immigrated. Yes, it's not a traditional white gown. Yes, people might whisper. But isn't a wedding dress supposed to make you feel like the truest version of yourself? I'm torn between keeping peace and keeping this dress that makes my heart sing every time I look at those embroidered birds

@Matt_Pinner I’m only missing three. 11, 12 and 20. And 12 is a technicality - we used to record cassette to cassette in my family, take it in turns buying audiobooks on tape and dupe them for all the cousins.

6 for me!! I feel confident nobody Has all 20 How many for you?

@VladTheInflator This is disgusting. Everybody who voted no needs to be investigated.

HOLY FUCK it wasn't even close. I'm going to tell my kids this is Epstein Island

@arendelles1stw Yeahhh I’m the dealer for my friends. I’m sitting on about 5.6k of fics.

I think, perhaps, the funniest part of the AO3 outage for me is watching the fandom discord server I'm in immediately turn into a blackmarket for fic epubs/pdfs -whispering suspiciously- "Psst, hey - you got any fics?"

@brinabusywoman That wasn’t a her problem, it was the idiots who knew what she was performing and still scheduled her before the watershed.

The concept of Sabrina coming back to the Brits after she had ofcom complaints through the roof last time

@febos110 @lexiton69 @otterdottt Not really. I have like over 5k fics on a drive and it’s not massive.

@lexiton69 @otterdottt That takes up so much storage though :(

@Zoya_ki_batein As somebody who the numbing spray didn’t work on (I have a history of painkillers failing): it absolutely hurts and he deserves to have his nutsack put in a vice for his attitude.

I just went to get an IUD consultation at a gynecologist and she goes, we can do it here, but just so you know, we don't numb. We won't numb your cervix here. And I go, why? And she goes, because the doctor at this clinic doesn't allow it. And I said who is that doctor? She pointed towards a male gynaecologist & said “dear even if I request it, he won't allow it”. And then i asked that male gynaecologist why he won't allow it, he told me because apparently, according to him, that's actually not even where the pain's coming from. So it doesn't even make sense to numb the cervix. i said its painful and he replied “its a part of being a woman”

@mrmikeMTL McDonald’s. That was a big one to tiny me in the late 90s. And “fancy chocolate” like one of those Dairy Milk Trays, After Eights or a box of wrapped choccies.

For those who didn't grow up privileged, name something you thought was a luxury when you were a kid

@Mishi_2210 22 living, 30 dead. Why 21 of those alive haven’t fled is a mystery to me.

How many people still in the room ? 🤔

@_sorrengailll No. No thanks. I spent years living on a farm on a mountain in the middle of nowhere. You’ll have to kill me first.

GIRL TO GIRL… be honest… If you could live on a little land, raise babies, bake bread, and love your man… would that be enough?

@RossKneeDeep I mean they’re welcome to try, but immigration isn’t cheap.

What's your message to them?

@Autistic_Lauren I like to imagine that if a predator bit me, it would need milk. Sadly, this is not the case.

Asking autistics, what's your thoughts on the term "neurospicy"?

@Autistic_Lauren Babies crying, fireworks, and anybody who is shouting at me.

Asking autistics, what sounds generally give you sensory distress?

@thenihiin Sloth. Then I buy a train ticket to visit a friend on the other coast

Which?🤔

@atlasm0m3nts I once got stuck on a table that was only 3ft tall. I’m terrified of heights.

did you know autistic children are more likely to have phobias in general and also significantly more likely to have a “weird” or abnormal phobia? anyways what’s your abnormal phobia

@thissofteclipse Now if only the writers had kept Felicty and we could have had an unstoppable trio.

let them be best friends PLEASE let them be best friends
