Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

stormo stagnated for your sins

never forget

Yup. I think I've officially been culturally assimilated. Love my dragon, love her town.

Honorary Martian if I ever saw one. You tell 'em, kid!​

I keep making references today to the worst and 2nd-worst timelines...

Just for reference, in the best timeline, I'm at a hotel where I can spend the day like this...

Oh well. I got it once. It was wonderful. It was everything I'd hoped for. I wondered at that moment if it would be promptly yanked away from me, by the usual suspects. Naturally, I was absolutely right.

I did a quick thought experiment with the set of Fred Rogers's techniques for communication, while pondering the pointless (but fun) head-butting argument I just had about climate change. Hmm. Yeah, I think there's some value here.

I'm wondering if this summary of Fred Rogers's speech habits for addressing preschoolers might not also be applicable to certain adults... (*coughcoworkerscough*)

Same site as above. Um... yeah.

This is from a real (machine translated, Japanese) website.

also she likes kitties

never have i envied a cousin so much 😻​

Some teacher did that neat thing where they have an art class full of kids draw something, then pass it off to college-age artists to redraw. Here's some of the best of this batch...

On a related note, THE FUTURE OF MARS IS SECURE.

(The above joke has been closed-captioned for the weeaboo-impaired)

⑨ is an in-joke about the Touhou character Cirla, who is infamously captioned in a manual screenshot as (9):バカ ["idiot"].

And work is making me feel a bit thick today. Less thick than the humans of course but still thick. O;)

Somebody posted this article to Reddit, proposing that D*n*ld Tr*mp is secretly one or more raccoons in "human cosplay":

Needless to say, Kirschbär could not let this insult to their species's moral character stand, so I posted this reply on their behalf:

@lediva As one of the only people around here I can probably trust to get this at first glance...

Humans, meet your successors. Tiny adorable raccoons, meet the people who left you all those neat ruins!

"M... mom?"

"You look good, mom. Did you get your chitin did?"</schadi>

Schadi is an Orthodox Changeling and will live and die that way. She went metallic green *before* it was cool to be Reform. She didn't like it. She changed back.

But yeah, ok, Bug Mom is still a jerk. >_<

It's strangely comforting to see a self-described and proud "troll" be so bitter and alienated that someone else's sincere positivity sends them into a big defensive huff.

IT'S. YOUR. PERSONALITY. SWEETHEART.

NOBODY. WILL. EVER. CARE. *UNTIL.* YOU. STOP. DOING. THIS.

And yeah, about the free speech crusade? You get to either lecture us about frozen peaches *or* dedicate yourself to explicitly and admittedly crapflooding the discourse. You wanna do both at once? In the immortal words of Mr. Miyagi: "squish like grape."

You are the architect of your own misery, and it's not quite funny, but it's funny like watching a trapped lab rat run in circles—less funny once you realize what a tragic and inhuman set of circumstances made you. Still pretty funny, though.
