Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

I can not begin to tell you how much I wish I had camera footage of this morning's Kitten Hijinx as we tried to gently escort the kids back onto the porch after getting Zerg Rushed.

Highlights included: a full 360 kitten inversion, Penumbra doing the moonwalk to sneak back into, Shemp and Penumbra each sneaking back in while we opened the door to let the other one out -- FOUR TIMES -- and some very good purrboxing from what are still some very good kitties.

@hystericempress it's a *warning* -- like that kid in Malcolm In The Middle whose shirt said "WARNING: HUGS ARE A TRAP"

@Phorm @anthracite Got nothing but sympathy here, fox. *hug*

@Leucrotta Yeah, honestly, I'll still cheerfully watch Woody Allen or Roman Polanski films -- I just refuse to do anything but steal 'em. It's not that hard to love the work and hate both the values and the guy responsible.

@chimerror Oh lordy begordy, I have been doing wikicrawls on transfinite ordinals and my head has been hurting in the best way. I still don't really _get_ what ω and Ω and ε₀ are, I just know I like them. XD

aaaaaaugh i forgot that a living, sapient, and presumably successful Laika is canon in Bojack Horseman

@anthracite I think she's overdue, tbh... She is dignified in her old age, but...

You got a new stoner achievement (Very Rare)!

My Little Dishtowel: Use your cherished stuffed unicorn to emergency-clean after a bong spill on your laptop.

"Sorry about that, Noelle. I'll... I'll just get you to the laundrette and wash that out. M... maybe a little Febreeze."

I'm GONNA get a bite of that cereal sooner or later, motherfuckers.

@LexYeen@snouts.online @fluxom_alt @krinndnz If eating humans isn't social justice, I don't know what is. 🐯​

@Austin_Dern Yeah, well, it had it comin'.

YOU HAVE A NEW STONER ACHIEVEMENT (RARE):

BONG-GAWK! [Accidentally get chicken broth in your bong.]

(It's... it's been a day. 😑​)

Airplane! is a very rewarding film if you return to it late enough in life that you can really, truly understand Ted Striker and the concept of abject soul-crushing failure.

Theme detected.

Now to figure out who adopted Crepe, Aebleskiver, Johnnycake, Jianbing, and IHOP's Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity®

(i think that last one is a showdog name)

I won't give the All Clear yet but Peg and I are back to being chill, Penny and Shemp both got some visits and petting in, my arm's stopped hurting from the tetanus shot, my antibiotics turned out to be a measly $9, and I'm almost back to some relative semblance of okay.

I know her mom will recognize this dog immediately as Not Her Corgo but I still did a doubletake at this and wondered if @mawr's Toast was living a double life. :D

self destruction level is "i think i might order taco bell" so let's say a 2-3 out of 10

well, i tried registering to vote and doing my overdue state taxes online but couldn't do either without a state ID, which we've tried multiple times to get between COVID and outright system crashes at the DMV

all that's left on my to-do list is parallax, which just ain't happening for the foreseeable future, and trying to salvage the chicken in the fridge that's about to expire

then i can just quietly give up on today. i am sorely tempted to go through our employee handbook and see how much health leave i can take before they want a doctor's note.

but i'm now shut off in my room giving peg some space and i'm realizing that these days when i am alone i am ALONE, even when i kinda can't afford to be, and the transliminal flashbacks alone, feeling all alone and isolated and rejected in a houseful of people, are killing me right now

at least penumbra and i patched things up afterwards, stupid kitten just got overexcited and nipped me during snacktime -- then they tried to FOLLOW me to the clinic and i had to hiss and wave my arms to chase them off

all is forgiven, i scooped them up and snuggled them when i got home and they purrboxed at me so i got that goin for me which is nice
