@troodon

>we're actually running low on baby squirrels,

*envisions a cardboard cutout of a baby squirrel on a shelf rack, printed "PLEASE REORDER"*

@troodon sib your fluttershy-grade concern for these critters is about the only thing keeping my heart beating this morning *HUG*

tiger hates world, goes rawr, film@11

@lugh Wow. OK, I'm familiar with the Internet Archive, but I had no idea this particular collection was *this* good. I did not expect them to have this many things I'd actually want to watch, thanks for the reminder!

somebody did a mashup of westworld and GoT and it's very technically clever but it feels kinda like watching two different kinds of paint dry at once

tbh this is how i feel about almost all Big Fanbait crossovers these days

adding "captain trips from the stand" to the list of things that were right

"the internet is going to be such a boon for humanity!"

(Gee, and all I did today is phone up the guy who's trying to primary Rep. Amash*—for, you know, actually fucking reading the Mueller Report and admitting Trump's guilty—and ask Peg to play circus music into the mike. =^___^= )

* who is still a tea party jerk and not our friend

Milkshake a conservative for Christ. The contrast between Farage's previous threats-- e.g., to "pick up a rifle and head for the front lines" if Brexit failed-- and his utter indignation at being hit with a _goddamn milkshake_ is a gift that I hope keeps giving for years... because it becomes a habit among leftists.

I think that's the style goal, folks. Make sure your attacks on our enemies make a cute headline and are as ridiculous as possible-- no matter how much legitimate malice we feel underneath it all.

If you get shot, you become a martyr. If you take a milkshake to the snoot and BEHAVE like a martyr, all you become is a joke.

Okay, Bean Gallery, I have to admit playing "Ashes To Ashes" immediately after I made the above post was really timely, but it still wasn't very nice. 😿​

#HopeYoureHappyToo

Spinny and twitchy and bitey today. Not at all likely to take it out on anybody I *like*, but I could just chomp straight through a couple hundred forum commenters today, and follow up by launching the Martian Ouch Missiles straight at every Terran city.

Dunno how much longer I can hold out, without some good news at the national scale or bigger. Real good news, not feel-good crap about someone throwing around money to undo ONE lousy case of a much bigger issue. Next person who tries to pass that off as "heartwarming" is probably the next to be mauled.

I can feel my life priorities sliding, collapsing, from "be as nice as possible and make the world a brighter place" to "bury my own moral failings in the sand and run down the next 0-30 years of life coming to me as quickly, quietly, and inobtrusively as possible."

My dreams, thanks to cannabis withdrawal, are back. It's a pity my hopes expired right before the dreams got back. If I can finish Parallax, never get wrapped up in drama again, minimize contact with political toxins of all creeds, and die peacefully... well, that's an ending. That's enough.

I wish I had something more hopeful for y'all, but between Seattle, DC, and 4chan, all the gleam's been beat right outta me. I'm sorry, or at least struggling to care enough again to be sorry. I still say it ain't nothin' human extinction and raccoon ascension wouldn't fix. >_< ​

@Austin_Dern Yeah. *hug* Yeah.

*picks up a boombox and plays Gotye in the rain*

i really really really wish masto had better username blocking options and wouldn't show replies to people you really don't want to be reminded of

i get the impression keyword muting is still somehow not a thing, and using anything but the default interface really would not work for me right now

oh well, guess i just soak up the point or two of SAN damage each time

Still a big ball of stress 'cause I got pretty snippy some of Peg's attempts to help, last night, before I finally got a hold of myself and decided to go back to the market and resolve it. I HATE the person I become when I'm stressed out like that and have gotten it into my head I'm not being listened to, because I get really sullen and snippy, and I see why it's driven people nuts in the past.

But Peg's dealt with her usual reptilian grace and healthy detachment: she told me I was a terrible person and she was breaking up with me immediately (in a voice so mischievous even my guilty-puppy brain couldn't take it seriously <3 ), bit me on the head some, and "made" me go down on her. Conflict resolved. :D It's such a relief having someone around who realizes I hate Empress Snippycat as much as they do, and all I need to banish her is THIRTY FUCKING SECONDS of peace to collect my sanity, something that was... difficult to acquire sometimes in other households.

Otherwise, yeah, I'm fairly good. Called home and invoked the one person who my fretful hindbrain will actually LISTEN to: Dr. Mom. She repeated everyone else's advice, that there's NO FUCKING WAY a 4-month old package of turkey wouldn't be putrescent by the time it got to me. "Really unfortunate misprint" is still my lead theory.

Fortunately, the little black speck in my right eye reappeared this morning, so I still have something to worry about. ;D (And yes, every conceivable "King of Pain" joke has been made, thanks much. :p ) I think I'll be okay, no other symptoms.

presenting the complete sum total of my opinion about GoT

most obnoxious entitled goddamn fandom in history... and i lived with everfree staff =>_<=

@LeDiva The real game is going to all the alt-right subreddits the next morning and telling them who won. =^_______^=

@LeDiva i thought small cats hated baths 🐯​
