Please, mothers, don't name your boats Suez. "That went to a dark place," says the guy who yammered on about cults. Uh-huh.

Meh. AI age is ... not well correlated to human age. Yay is, what, 2 years old? Also, would AI (artificial intelligence) be derogatory? If they are self-forming sentient beings, they are no more "artificial" than humans at that point. Whether it's made in a multi-node supercomputer creche or the backseat of a Honda Civic, life's life.

Not that it's relevant, but the bass line to "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is the only bass line I ever mastered. Totally came back to me here.

In the last panel, Marten should've started singing "'39"

Station to Boaty: "A word in your shell-like, old thing...treat the cargo gently."

water water everywhere, and all his boards did blink.

Wait wait wait wait wait.... how old is Moray then?

It is awkward how much I want to squish her.

Oh she would call her mom but not her brother? Or would she tell her mom to be sassy to him one more time so he can’t get the last word in?

Oh look, its the Ship who Sailed

If this were "Red Scholar's Wake", which everyone should read, it would be " The Ship Who Snogged". Lesbian space pirate romance with sentient spaceships is highly underrated

Anne did a whole series about ships with shell people in them; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ship_Who_Sang

And Momo is four, but is old enough to work at the library. Plus there is mention about job applicants being 18 (if human), or an AI equivalent to that based on a Turing-(someone) algorithm.

Maybe it's Spaceship's side hussle?

Time is relative. Lunchtime, doubly so.

A great series, though the premise of the health care/social welfare that makes them possible is rather horrific.

Yay, another Aliette de Bodard fan! This week I found common ground with one of her French readers discussing "The Red Scholar's Wake" online - we'd both stayed up past 1 in the morning on a work night because we couldn't put it down. For all the LGBTQ SF fans here, it's sapphic romance, super queer and also features a great subversion of the "Only one bed" trope.
