Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

I keep getting these little glimpses that there are a lot more of "us" out there than I thought, for many different definitions of "us," and it makes me happy. (My god, some of us might even not live in Seattle! ;p )

@coyohti Wonky cats are the best cats! ^__^

@mawr @SangriaSnake If I were a god (or a GM, same basic job), that would just sound like a challenge to me. >:D

@LeDiva I'm not surprised. Do you KNOW how expensive draconic divorce lawyers are?!?!

God, this feels good. After three weeks of constant dealing with petty bureaucracy... the only thing left on my to-do list is "fly home to Ohio."

Dragons, warn any friends you have in the Oklahoma area -- especially if they're green. The humans are acting up again...

@Leucrotta INTO THE FISHYVERSE

Had a nice day out with @anthracite, actually. Saw Spiderverse, had cake. But I haven't been able to shake this weird depressive, nostalgic funk since we got home.

You know, I'm just going to blame bad neurochemistry. Probably did way overdo the carbohydrates today. If there's a real problem, soon I'll have two weeks in Ohio to contemplate it, I guess.

A lot of stuff just still feels super-weird to me after all this past year's losses. Phantom friendship syndrome, or something. At least it'll make it that much easier to leave, which was going to have to happen anyhow.

I'm okay. I don't trust this bad mood. Things are fine. I'm just a little heartachey and I miss a lot of people and I still worry a little bit every day that I've failed or annoyed everybody. But I'm doing better than I was.

@Oneironott Isn't it nice being COMPLETELY off most people's cultural radar? :D

@Leucrotta Really! I had blown off Mortal Engines because, yeah, the premise seemed so outrageous-- the sort of thing you'd expect to work far better in a novel than a film. I might have to go see that too, now! Loved Spider-Verse, though. Felt like it kinda gave us the thumbs-up for a lot of crazy stuff we wanted to do with Parallax but were too timid...

@Leucrotta It was far better than it had any right to be, though, wasn't it! Peg and I were quite impressed.

feeling cute might delete later

(Fun fact: for six weeks after this incident, Kurt Cobain could _only_ eat meat, and his tears were jet black.)

@JulieSqveakaroo I WISH it were my idea. :) Yup, local food delivery service.

who's goin

i mean i'm not down on these people, they bring me food and thus by martian law i am sworn to honor them. i'm just curious if there's some kind of naturalistic phenomenon going on here, perhaps some hidden ecological pressure.

why the hell do 70% of my bitesquad drivers have walter white mustaches

@001zlnv @mawr I mean, it's not the first time this has been pointed out. :D Beats hell out of orange and licorice, which is the other main definition I've seen for "tiger tail..."
