Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

The world may be a mess, but at least I can still amuse my girlfriend by freestyling Strong Bad's "Everybody to the Limit" over the soundtrack to her new PS4 game.

@Phorm (Oh, shit. I misremembered the story. He CARRIED her, left her coffin at the barrack gates, and insisted to them that SHE should be the rightful head of the Nigerian state. :O

So yeah. That's the top of the sedition scale, for those of you still playing at home.)

@Phorm Listen, I have a rule of thumb: if you're in less danger than Fela Kuti was, when he mailed his own mother's coffin back to the very same government that killed her (postage due) and declared his recording studio an independent nation, it's not real sedition yet. *evil grin*

@Phorm I'm sure I can finagle two tickets to Tangiers (or its modern equivalent), as is traditional, if the shit really hits the fan.

SET KITTENS TO STUN

@Phorm No thanks, I'm not done yet.

Lunch was prosciuitto, manchego, balsamic onion jam, and mixed greens dressed with olive oil, wine vinegar, chile flakes, and Thai fish sauce, folded into lavash flatbread toasted to the consistency of a slightly tender saltine. I'm a happy kitty.

@Kyresti Y? Cos.

NTM, I think I basically last any moral authority I had over the last year. I feel like me lecturing anyone on common sense and gentleness would be like William S Burroughs lecturing anyone on anything after he shot Joan. If I blew it, everyone else might as well too, because if I was actually *trying* to be good and failed, what the fuck's left? >_<

Wanna say I miss Discordians & Zen Beatniks, but they all turned out to be misogynistic assholes with Dumb White Problems too. Really hoped my contribution to the world would to be inspire people with some way out of the trap, but... yeah, I'm all out of ideas. Parallax is a vague, blind attempt to claw at it one last time, I guess. But shit, if they managed to turn Steven Universe into a forum for orthodoxy battles, what'll they do to us?!

Fuck Terra. Fuck humans. Fuck brains.

Seriously, this is like the third time this week I've read a biting criticism of leftists, thought "huh, this person does actually address some valid points," then followed them back to their timeline and gone "OK HOLY FUCK YOU ARE A GENOCIDE APOLOGIST DROP DEAD."

What the fuck is it about this time and place, that we're down to just two prime memetic strains, and they're both kinda sucky and fanatical and literal-minded? :(

Every time I get really cynical about queer otherkin socialist folk, at worst I sulk around about it for a couple of days. Inevitably, I end up reading something written by the sort of people who criticize queer otherkin socialist folk, and I end up bolting back to your collective side and cowering underneath your collective skirt. Because you people can be adorable loons sometimes (as can I), but the far-right is A FUCKING NIGHTMARE. Their disdain *alone* is a reason to like you.

@Thaminga my experience in a college fraternity-- 30 engineering students plus me-- was 35,000 consecutive hours of this basically >__<

@KinkyTurtle @hummingrain I like the dual-hat loadout. :D

@Oneironott Yeah, I keep getting the "OH MY GOD THAT MUST HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE FROM YOU" from West Coasters when I tell them about growing up closet-queer in Ohio, and I have to explain to them it ain't like Texas. It's not that there's a toxic, hostile culture that wants to root you out. It's just that there's no culture at all. :O

@Oneironott Right? I mean, I exaggerate-- even in '93, the biggest and most popular dance on CWRU campus was run by the LGBT, and I remember my So Certain They're Straight* fraternity brothers cheerfully putting on skirts and attending like it was zero masculinity threat. But still... that was Cleveland, and the outskirts of Canton were very different. The idea of a high-school with an LGBT club is just mind-blowing to me.

*this proved to be a lie

This B-52s video had such a huge impact on my early sense of aesthetics and what I want to be. I think it was my very first moment of "wait, what if boys COULD dress in fancy colors and hang out with the girls?"

Kinda wish I hadn't lived in NE Ohio, so I could have actually ACTED upon that epiphany much sooner. Sest lah vee-ay.

There are some things I could find to complain about, I guess, but Peggy is being super fun today, we're out at a cafe working outdoors in the sun, work isn't hurting my brain, the comic is looking gorgeous, and this is my absolute favorite season of the year.

Yeah, I'll take this. Just gotta keep the rest of the world at bay from it for as long as possible.

@tastymochafox Freddie who?! Oh, you mean Mister Fahrenheit! Best supervillain ever...

@hummingrain

Okay, you heard it here first, furry artists.

"slippette princess crown" gets zero Google hits.

Get the fuck back to work.
