Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@anthracite This includes ANYTHING "queer" that still involves an interaction with the other sex, like complimenting a woman on her clothes, lending them emotional support ("FRIENDZONED!") or having any female friends whatsoever. It comes RIGHT out of the same toxic complex that has these people convinced wolves are very very concerned about power, confidence, hierarchy, and Axe Body Spray.

@anthracite As far as I can tell, it functionally parses as "any act of kindness towards a woman, if you're a misogynist who literally can not imagine any motive for such except for a 'beta male' trying to get into their pants because As Evolutionary Psychology Teaches Us, women only *really* love aggression and selfish machismo."

Artie missed the morning feeding and I wasted the whole morning fretting over her, despite swearing to Peggy and myself both that I wouldn't. Ending up taking a nap purely for the sake of a time skip.

Skip to the happy ending: about 20 minutes ago, Peg deposited Her Stripey Grace on the bed next to me.

That was exactly how I was hoping to wake up. <3 She's absolutely fine, unless you count "pretty clingy." But I'm in no position to complain. :D

@hystericempress Yeah, it's amazing how much of an effect subtleties like that can have. I really miss being able to use the "music" field for the same purpose-- for me it was almost always for some pithy selection that summed up the post, not what I was *actually* listening to when it started, and that was just such a powerful and subtle way to communicate. I REALLY miss the LJ scene sometimes, badly though I blew it there on my own.

@hystericempress @Soreth But it's got a 5/5 on Amazon, how could it possibly be bad?!? https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Gathering-Rhystic-Cave-Prophecy/dp/B005QW1BCI#customerReviews

@mawr That's infuriating and scary. Keep us posted, hun. *hug*

@Leucrotta Same way I really prefer hearing the line "I give a hell of a shit" from Dead Milkmens' "Nutrition" as "I give a healthy shit." I was SO PISSED Rik turned out to be right about that one. :)

@xinjinmeng Cake deficiency. It's got to be a cake deficiency.

I want to remake this video with Shemp, captioned with whatever random things he happens to be doing at each moment. "#38: Flop. #39: Bat at nothing. #40: Flop. #41: Get up, get confused, jump. #42: Leave."

@Leucrotta Wait until you hear about Baba Booey. >_<

@Cerulean Oh, that's very useful. Thank you. <3

I was doing research into a Nagoya restaurant for work, and for a moment I misread the phrase "serving gyudon" as "secret gyudon" and for a moment a beautiful hidden world was about to open up to me

it's all right, i'm not sure i was truly worthy of the gyudon secret anyhow

@Phorm @001zlnv And if there isn't a decent Bauhaus filk by midnight EST from SOMEWHERE, I will be more disappointed in the Internet than ever.

@Leucrotta one very important correction: a descriptive sentence or a rude gesture

(i'm allowed to say this :D )

oh good, now i can watch all the shows with cats in them that i couldn't handle while i was terrified about the cats

(i have probably been seriously overdramatizing how much danger the cats were actually in, but this is my first real winter with small fuzzy creatures under my care and i think i went a little off the rails n.n )

@Phorm Oh shit. :D

@chimerror One never is. They've tested it under lab conditions.

@Leucrotta *joins you in a chorus or two of Frank Zappa's "Stick It Out," hastily filked to be about your job*

(I'll poke boss this week!)

ok so what's the word for the emotion that's right between "missing you" and "rueing you?"

i'm not gonna go with the "word in German" cliche for this one -- sounds more Italian to me anyhow O:)

@Leucrotta I've always loved long train trips, yeah, and regretted not taking more of them.
