Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

"i am going to very noisily and publicly announce that i am banning everyone who so much as liked a comment saying maybe burning down the property of people who wield little or no institutional power isn't a 100% ideal social justice praxis" is just a little bit high on the Woke Purity dial for me, sorry

say what you will about twitter but my friends on twitter are a never-ending source of information about which of their friends i really need to block on twitter

The odds that I will go out of this life with an explosive vest and a lengthy manifesto increase day after day. Not soon, but someday.

The main thing holding me back at this point is the fact my parents, Peggy, and the cats are still around. If that were ever to change, I just might have to, say, stroll into the Russian Embassy or a Identity Evropa meeting and discorporate very very quickly and forcibly one of these days.

Somebody's gotta do it. And I never thought it would be me, but the bulwark values that prevented me have been shat upon so often in the course of the last six years, the me that didn't have a Sixty Shallow Graves list seems unrecognizable.

I wish I could even say I was tired of feeling so fucking angry, but I'm really just getting started. If we had our own real Baader-Meinhoff or Weathermen instead of just Antifa, I'd be funding them hand over fist. But (now that I have a little cash) I'd be funding Antifa if I knew where to send the checks. :)

Shit, I wish we would embrace cyberterrorism. I could just fund that and nobody would have to get hurt directly. And I would fund the shit out of it. Surely with the diversity of skills in our various communities, we've got SOMEONE who can hit these people where it really hurts. Like their private texts. *coughgaetzcough*

@Leucrotta I'm in. Shit, I'll help you harvest the nails. >____<

I had a real depressing morning after looking at the news and seeing that Russia's been ratting their saber at us over the Ukraine again.

But don't worry. Then I read some tweets by antivaxxers and election conspiracists and now I feel pretty comfortable about the total extermination of humanity again. 🙄​

@Soreth Herbert Grönemeyer?

@xinjinmeng @anthracite That's exactly how you should feel about Antigravity. They're... undeniably culturally informed and progressive, but they're also dour as fuck in that Jello Biafra, "are you in fact capable of smiling without smirking" sort of way. I love-hate them a lot. >__<

Someone made a very good post about intentional communities and how-- unlike with office-culture capitalism-- seemingly ordinary skills can be precious and valuable to such a community. <3

And that reminded me: folks, I LOVE doing research for people. If anyone didn't know, my day job is web research for a GPS company. So I'm fairly good at navigating web resources and digging up obscure sites.

If there's ever anything you just don't know where to find, or just don't have the executive function to think about on a given day, I am generally delighted to help you dig. This especially goes for interesting cultural deep-dives, but I'm equally happy to help with mundane stuff like digging up tax forms and navigating badly designed store locators.

Just hit me up! Worst you'll get is a "having a rough week, can't guarantee I'll get to it soon." (Or me accidentally losing track of your DM because my executive functions crash sometimes too. :) )

(Spoiler: It's literally a recipe video for human kibble.)

@monsterblue @anthracite I STRONGLY discourage you from this until you've at least read the Book of the Chungus in its entirety, preferably in the original Akkadian. Otherwise you're just asking for a PK event that would make Ivo Shandor himself soil his robes.</egon_spengler>

@JulieSqveakaroo GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD. I can relax a little now and I hope you both have gotten to, too. <3

@anthracite

*Rezy sniffs*

*Rezy crouches*

*Rezy tailwiggles*

*Rezy eats Biggest Chungus*

*Rezy sits around the house*

@JulieSqveakaroo How are y'all both feeling, darlin'?

@balinares *cackle*

Also this reminds me that if you haven't seen any What We Do In The Shadows, I HIGHLY recommend it, especially the character of Colin Robinson the energy vampire... (You, friend, are emphatically the opposite of an energy vampire, but I think you'd still appreciate the show's sense of humor as well as Colin's character arc...)

@balinares You're dealing with an expert here. I would no sooner fall for blatant bait like that than I would fall for updog.

@balinares "This season, on the Castratos..."

Not a single fucking person at work got the Sopranos reference in my last example case. ;__;

(I made a reference to "Aprile Memorial Park" in "Pine Barrens, NJ." I even said "Streetview shows a forest on a hill, overlooking a little river, with pine cones all around." NOTHING. NOT EVEN FROM THE AMERICAN TEAM. I am fucking heartbroken. :> )

(it's especially a pity 'cause the Sadistic Mika band is pretty good, in a Steely Dannish kinda way. Pretty sure I heard a couple of μmaj chords in that first number.)

How racist was the BBC the year I was born?

Racist enough to retitle "The Old Grey Whistle Test" when they had a Japanese band perform.

You'll see what I mean. It's kinda hard to miss.
