Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@zx3 They were, and I miss the hell out of them. There are still days when I'm sorely tempted to post here in the form of "confessional playlist." But thus far I've managed to spare everyone. :)

@zx3 *nostalgic sniffle*

This was on the first mixtape anyone with a crush on me ever gave me, along with "Punk Rock Girl" by the Dead Milkmen, "Fishheads" by Barnes and Barnes, and "Heather" by the Wedding Present.

I really should have kept touch with Heather, but she lived three hours away.

I think I've basically worked out the ending(s).

If that's the direction we go... Parallax could basically be subtitled "Those Who Drive Away From Omelas In A Stolen Lambo Doing 160 MPH In The Dead Of Night With Someone Else's Ill-Gotten Life Savings In The Glovebox."

@chr@cybre.space I have been trying to push this really hard at my own job—and I have the power to do it, because I GET TO USE IT IN PERFORMANCE REVIEWS. >:D

=== KITTY BULLETIN - LEVEL 5 ===

So, you remember a month or two ago, when we'd thought the neighbors with the cats had moved out?

Well, they moved their stuff back on their porch a few days after, but I hadn't really seen much of the cats so I didn't bother updating. (Also, there is a bit of domestic... unrest next door, so I didn't wanna get too attached.)

Well, long story short, Sugarfoot actively sought pettings from me for the very first time. This may or may not be due to Sushi Hands.😼​

Tonight on the Martian Rawrcasting Service: Gather the whole pride for a heartwarming Fishmas story of a hungry tigress stuck on Terra, whose sushi delivery was supposed to only come with two pieces per order, but... came with THREE!

Based on an inspiring true story. Be a good kitty and it could even happen to you!

@Austin_Dern @porsupah I deeply resent you for not cw:ing that cthulhoid abomination of a pizza. 😾​

*grins, but shudders again*

@Leucrotta Yeah. *hug* Yeah.

I think I've figured out what's on the Martian coat of arms.

@hummingrain i was AMAZED they didn't take my bottle opener when i flew to ohio, especially after they dithered for TEN MINUTES about it and damn near made me late -.-

@001zlnv Season 10, FWIW. Huh. That's surprisingly late.

I feel fat.

@001zlnv Just outta curiosity, what season? I think the Homer Phase (e.g. "Lovable Goof," "Captain Wacky," "Jerkass Homer," "Adventure Dad") is an important consideration here...

@001zlnv Yeah, I believe the exact figure is 238, but I can't swear to where I found it or what episode it's allegedly from. And... yeah, that does seem pretty low by 2019 standards, doesn't it. FWIW, I think it's from before "big wacky fat guy" was Homer's main personality trait instead of "lovably gruff working-class dad."

@001zlnv I'm 44. You shush. :)

Worse, I'm EXACTLY his canonical weight. That's a hell of a burden to carry around.

A local ex-monument.

"ONLY COMM. DESTROW HISTROY."

Truer, dumber words were never written, and I hope we destrow far more of this COMFEDARIT nonsense in the years to come.

@hummingrain Polycule = polyamorous molecule = group of polyamorous lovers.

(Or is that another suggestion? It's... it's been a long day and I can't words good no more...)

@hummingrain Yeah. Honestly, I can't tell you how many times I've truly, genuinely thought I was screwed for good—only to find out it was just the end of a dramatic act. *hug*

@anthracite *laughs in utter sympathy* Fffffff--

Still better than Game of Thrones.

MFW the simple, sleek little wargame I downloaded turns out to be blatant Old Testament Christian propaganda, that is absolutely convinced performing the martial will of the ancient Hebrew kings was objectively "doing good" and spreading the religion of their neighbors was "doing evil"...

Oh, well. It's still a neat little game, so I just named my player character "Belphegor" and moved on. 😈​More beer, fornication, and sorcery for the good people of Israel, stat! ❤️​
