Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@hystericempress It's pretty good, isn't it.

@spacewastrel@yiff.life Hey there. <3

actual current mood: wishing i didn't have so much to live for right now so i could go all sendero luminoso* and avenge you all against the landlords, bosses, and politicians that are fucking my friends' lives up

*my old LJ-era euphemism for "throwing everything away and going on an extremely foolish adventure as an explicit last-ditch alternative to suicide"

@Oneironott NOW YOU KNOW MY SORROW

@hystericempress "You read that shit? Science of matter over mind? Changed my life."

fuckadoodoo

Freaked out pretty bad after reading a BoingBoing article about the horrible effects of [REDACTED; EXTREME PSYCH HAZARD] if you catch COVID-19.

Got immense comfort from my stepdaughter [the Tarot of the Silicon] Dawn and I'm so grateful for her.

Basic message: Listen, Stepparent, you I can't tell you if you caught it at the grocery store the other day. Look at this here Wheel of Fortune: you got the same odds as anyone else in your place. But you've been cagey, you've been surprisingly adult, and this hasn't killed any of your friends, thank the gods, so it probably won't kill you. And hey, if it does, you're a martyr who some people will remember fondly. Keep being yourself and you'll probably live to be an annoying old fart.

@hystericempress Fuck them over in any way you can possibly get away with. That's the message I'm getting from them. Shit, when it's time to move out, leave them an air-vent fish as a parting gift. Or something similar -- it's not like @mmsword wans't MADE to come up with the most obnoxious slow-burn sabotage possible. >:D

In summary, love you, right on, and fuck that guy.

@001zlnv no, my number of beers per day just goes up -- to cope with all that knowledge *sigh*

i helped a friend with an obscure research mission today and i feel like an epic level 44 trashpandaren sage rt now (^)_________(^)

@hystericempress Which reminds me, I was listening to the How Did This Get Made episode about the actual film Bloodsport and the sheer amount of martial arts BULLSHIT in it reminded me of you, a force of martial arts anti-bullshit. <3

@hystericempress Yeah, I wasn't kidding about the whacking vids but it's mostly because I really like watching abusive, swaggering macho guys get theirs. And because they don't have any videos of Mafiosi dying of distemper. (^)____(^);

@Austin_Dern Sure!

@Phorm There are so many factors, though. Like in order to evade cardiac damage, one must have a heart to begin with...

@hystericempress You're absolutely right, sis! How terrible! *hastily sits on her collection of Sopranos "whacking" supercuts and blushes for no apparent reason*

( ;) -- you're absolutely right)

I found this in some old notes while doing a file backup and I'm HEARTBROKEN I never got around to playing her...

I ain't gonna pretend I'm not rooting for this SOB Boris Johson to get ridden out of existence on a cosmic rail as soon as feasible.

I don't typically root for people to die... unless their life is rooted in the large-scale perpetuation of human suffering. I wouldn't have shed a tear for any of history's other villains, so I'm not gonna pretend this one's worth preserving, either.

It's like Popper's Paradox of Tolerance. Life is sacred. That's WHY people like BoJo should be required to give up theirs.

He famously stated in an Economist interview (2-22-2020) that his favorite movie was The Godfather for "the multiple retribution killings in the end." Well, maybe his dream's about to come true: Nature will come and show him what those are like first-hand.

However, the good news is it's uncommon, they apparently have to be exposed to a pretty big viral load (i.e. cooped up with an infectee), and they can't apparently retransmit it.

Which is a big relief for me, because our own three porch pals all spend fairly little time around humans... I am scared as hell, though, that its next major cross-species jump is gonna be a domestic animal.
