There’s a lot of great advice and reassurance in here already. It sounds like you’re doing all right to me too.

A more uncommon suggestion that fits in here is that we see evidence that reading to kids no matter the age, yes even this young has benefits later in life. Your local library may have a 1,000 books before kindergarten program (they are pretty common) and it’s never too early to enroll.

The CEO has said that they are working on an alternative because it’s a well-used feature.

Ah yes, wealthy people who love being seen at all the hot stuff in NYC are suddenly going to move somewhere else without the clout like Kansas City.

You can use it to pay a medieval plague doctor that will give you leech therapy.

I just finished a re-read and I didn’t get a sense that secunits had an agender appearance, this was after Martha Wells asked online to find out where a bunch of people got the idea that Murderbot was femme-androgynous so it was top of mind to look for in the books.

My general head cannon for the discrepancies especially with the additions is that the books are written by Murderbot as a record and it has admitted to being an unreliable narrator including glossing over things that it’s not interested in or doesn’t understand the value of. The show is more of a third-person perspective so it’s entirely possible some of what we are seeing was those moments that Murderbot didn’t see fit to include.
