Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

I really should cw this as porn. I mean, it's just a bunch of posters from a typography competition, but... yeah, it's porn.

@Austin_Dern I'm pretty sure "reading Indian menus" is part of the standard 1st grade curriculum in Martian schools. It's just a vital skill when you're gonna grow up to be 8'3" and ALWAYS A BIT PECKISH. 🐯​

@Austin_Dern That's some good stuff, and I think you just inspired my next Instant Pot experiment (b/c if I keep making butter chicken I WILL DIE)

Aww, look who turned up as Peg was unpacking! She's no Mr. Flibble, but I'll bet I can still teach her some hex vision!

Here, fellow gender warriors. Have a rhetorical howitzer: an article about the biological evidence for non-binary gender from an Actual Fucking Neuroscientist. Use it widely and indiscriminately. 😽​

@LeDiva Vincent Canby apparently loved it, but I'm not gonna hold that against the film. :>

@LeDiva I hear it's honest-to-gods not nearly as bad as people say...

@acetone_kitten I will! I might actually be in the financial shape for it fairly soon!

@JulieSqveakaroo Yeah, I almost wondered, given the circumstances you were talking about—it sounds likely that your coworkers know their setup's what's kinda fucked up, not the roo!

@acetone_kitten Oh shit. I'm half-tempted to book a Seattle vacation around it...

@Aradia 😻

Negativland was right. Christianity IS stupid. (Or maybe just extremely bored at the time...)

@Soreth MARTIAN'ED!

("I got you this half-digested gazelle carcass!")

@Phorm Are you kidding? I do that to @anthracite like twice a day. :> (Also, lucky for them, they left like 5 mins after I posted that. PRESSING SOCIAL OBLIGATION'ED!)

@Cerulean @anthracite @frameacloud Oh geeze, that attribute block thing is pinging some very hazy grade-school memories very hard... I think we might have worked with them once or twice too!

Also yeah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who found Lehrer's song a little... glib. <3

basically Teen Girl Squad just sat down next to me and started having a conversation at 110 dB and I'm just sitting here waiting for the ARROWED guy to show up and take them out for me 😾​

@zx3 You fool, you forgot to modulate the tube frequencies! The whole Internet could invert contrariwise!

@anthracite Honestly it's kinda reassuring to be reminded you're quite willing to get outta Dodge the moment it becomes necessary.

I have been enjoying it. And I do also still have some degree of hope. More and more people are taking this stuff seriously, and sooner or later there's just so likely to be a Manhattan Project style concentration of engineering resources.

I'm not giving up until, say, around, November of 2020, when the (relative) grown-ups have another shot at making this a policy priority. In the meantime, pray for those hacker kids in the third-world who are already making (regrettably, tiny) carbon-extraction devices...

@anthracite ...oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!

@anthracite doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
