Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

the saddest moments are when you can see the pigeon is actually making its best effort to play chess and you can tell it thinks it's doing really good, like it actually managed to get your king in its mouth and flip it over and now it's confused you haven't conceded yet

@JulieSqveakaroo @anthracite (and YES i redrafted that just so i could replace a decimal with a vulgar fraction, because i thought it would be slightly more awkward and thus funny. that's your martian guarantee of quality.🐯​👑​)

@JulieSqveakaroo oh ffs @anthracite had this argument just the other day... listen up buster, the napoleonic codes were not enacted until 1805. two years AFTER the Louisiana purchase!

also, we're in midcity, french quarter is 20 minutes away and boy howdy smells a LOT worse. :) besides, i can't speak for anywhere else but the 500 block of (REDACTED) street is under Martian Law*,**. We use TIGER units here! Lady Deimos***, fetch me my 1⅔ salmonlength squeaky hammer****!

*not disputed
**proxy rulership granted under authority of Empress Shadow
***Peebles
****she just looked at me funny

@JulieSqveakaroo are you questioning the martian department of weights and measures

we have our top minds on this

TOP. MINDS. 🐯​

i have a weakness for chirpy punkpop with bleak lyrics, what can i say, it's a good metaphor for me

the only sad thing is since its raining i won't get to see my new buddy Oscar, unofficial Coffee Science mascot. big chill floppy grey dude who can really take a petting. god i love how casually cat-obsessed this city is.

if twice sold tales is still around, give the locals a scritch for me, ok seattleites?

@hystericempress you finished the series, right? :D yeah janet revolutionized how i play hladolet, janet is hladi's idol :D ask any genie, just because you have an overpowering urge to serve others doesn't mean you can't be the most powerful and determined one in the room...

ok ok more like 6/25 dragon, 6/25 cats, 6/25 work, 6/25 video games, and 1/25 sitting around really stoned and pretending i'm a cyborg catgirl drone but its still less than i used to do :> and i didnt include "eating gourmet food" because that shit just gets into your pores down here without any effort

stuck at coffee science in midcity nola, storm broke out during morning exercise/caffeination. sitting here with a danish and a "chaos theory" (ginger turmeric cider vinegar shot with espresso and a cherry), pondering their fridge of gourmet local ice cream with Actual Magickal Sigils and a goat demon made of ice cream on the label, and thinking all in all this here is a nice place to get stuck

even if my life is 1/3 street cats, 1/3 work, and 1/3 dragon right now. which aint so bad either.

@hystericempress So what you're saying is, The Good Place wouldn't have been able to air on network TV if she'd been around...

@hystericempress i just wanna snuggle the eyewheel version <3

@hystericempress i think you've found a source of great power here sis but i know you will wield it with a pure heart

@hystericempress ...

shit, you're right

i will start working on the formal proof immediately; i think this one can be generalized to all cases

if you know, you know

#busybusybusy

@001zlnv We will find out. :) I will show you the one photo they sent us of them-- at the VERY least they are all laser armed. :D (Or um maybe it was just regular cat eyeshine... O:) )

Ergh. Quickie vent because I'm catching up on a million things that got interrupted today...

We got contacted out of the blue by the cat charity that helped us spay/neuter our kids. There is an elderly woman who apparently has fed the semiferals in an abandoned house down our street for 10+ years and had a fall.

We are taking over for her until she recovers "which shouldn't be long" except every time we talk to her there's a new medical woe.

And she's NUTS. Long-winded and oblivious in the way that only lonely old Catholic ladies are. (I'm from Italian Catholics, I'm allowed to say that. I've lived it. So. Many. Times.)

And every time I talk to her, the instructions for feeding these cats get more and more specific and onerous. And include another hint that just maybe the neighbors are actively hostile towards her. And we get to jump straight into that hostility.

I am not looking forward to any of this.

OK, that's not true. There's a really cute tortie living there and I look forward to meeting him. :) But there are a hundred other things about this arrangement that are stressing the shit out of me, because I DISTINCTLY detect the presence of an needy emotional vampire. Like, Colin Robinson grade. >____<

@Aradia It's also on Hulu, I believe! I have heard it's pretty good.

@001zlnv you can imagine what infinity train did to me too

@001zlnv I have not! Anime?

@Austin_Dern Oh I would be very entertained by that! n.n
