Book cover for Automatic Noodle
Sometimes humans would settle bankruptcies by putting their bots to sleep and selling their contracts across the border; you’d go to sleep as a liberated California resident and wake up slaved as property in America.

“god should have made girls lethal
when he made monsters of men”
Elisabeth Hewer

Lindy West
“This is the only advice I can offer. Each time something like this happens, take a breath and ask yourself, honestly: Am I dead? Did I die? Is the world different? Has my soul splintered into a thousand shards and scattered to the winds? I think you’ll find, in nearly every case, that you are fine. Life rolls on. No one cares. Very few things—apart from death and crime—have real, irreversible stakes, and when something with real stakes happens, humiliation is the least of your worries.”
Lindy West, Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman

Carmen Maria Machado
“He is not a bad man, and that, I realize suddenly, is the root of my hurt.”
Carmen Maria Machado, Her Body and Other Parties: Stories

Ursula K. Le Guin
“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”
Ursula K. Le Guin

C.J. Leede
“I have never understood, and still do not understand the notion that a woman must first endure a victimhood of some sort—abandonment, abuse, oppression of the patriarchy—to be monstrous. Men have always been permitted in fiction and in life to simply be what they are, no matter how dark or terrifying that might be. But with a woman, we expect an answer, a reason. But why would she do it? Why, why, why?”
CJ Leede, Maeve Fly
