green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

@kara@occult.camp are you planning on bringing back some laurel cuttings? I'm still interested in helping to try growing one. :)

@Leucrotta it was, I always enjoy seeing the "everyday" view from the Empire side, of the people who are being stormtroopers because they either were like Han--wanted out of a desperate situation, like people who join the US military now--or genuinely believe that they are the Good Guys, bringing Peace and Order to the Galaxy if they have to choke the living shit out of it one planet at a time. XD

@Elizafox that's how tribal culture works--once you've established the in-group signals, it's time to get to work making sure there's an out-group to fight against, otherwise the in-group starts looking at slight signalling flaws as out-group signifiers... leaning left doesn't mean we magically scoop out or monkey hindbrains, after all. :/

@Leucrotta omgggggggg the dromaeosaurs ​ 💞​ someday I need to commission you for my tattoo design of a feathered dinosaur with a crest saying "Life Finds A Way"...

@Leucrotta YES THAT WAS EXCELLENT. it makes *total sense* for that to be the "official music of the Imperial Regime." XD

@Leucrotta it's not that he's *dumb*, he's just obviously deeply inexperienced, and you can already see how his cockiness is going to get in the way of *learning* stuff, so he ends up being really good at some things and *spectacularly* not very good at others...

"Everything's fine here, we're all fine... how are you??"

@Leucrotta yes! his defining attribute trait is "cocky," not "smooth" or even "particularly capable," and though he's apparently gifted at flying, that doesn't help with EVERYTHING ELSE, where he just kinda flails along and survives more by luck than wits or skill. XD

INXS "The Stairs" is another one that always makes me cry. it's exactly in my key/pitch, so I always try to sing along, but I'm often unable to finish it because my throat closes up before the song's done...

there's somebody outside who's whistling at the birds... they've got at least one of the local birds calling back. good spoofing job, and very determined! XD

@Leucrotta omg I love that song. and yes that is my favorite bit too. XD

two Hollywood phonies tried to give me their autographs
GROOUUUUUND

@Azure we're on the third floor and our cats are indoors-only, so I have to keep the window closed most of the time or Nar will probably (given the interest he's shown in it so far) have an Unscheduled Adventure. we could likely get the screen fixed, but I think I'm going to give the maintenance people some more time to settle down first... given their current track record I don't trust them not to install it upside-down or something. :|

disadvantage of leaving window open without a screen: occasional wasp/hornet/yellowjacket visits.
advantage of same: said stingy bugs can *visit* and then *leave* instead of being stuck inside with me.

@Elizafox um... yes? dealer's choice! :D pretty much anything, really, although a trans butterfly would probably look amazing. :D

@Elizafox daredaredaredarepicspls!!! <333

@mawr oh awesome I am very much looking forward to pictures!! :D
