Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@mawr I physically trembled with rage-sympathy over this. <3

@Phorm Oh I have 2FA already! It was pretty easy to do the recovery. :) I re-secured the throwaway Gmail account it's registered to, as well. I wouldn't turn down a little magickal protection, but put it on something I actually care about like the cats instead of my social media. ;D <3

Haha I was right. Everything went bughouse immediately after I posted this. :)

Had a sudden spat with a friend that I think was resolved amiably-- that was totally fine, honestly, it happens and they had a valid frustration...

...and then I sat back down and discovered someone was trying to hack my Twitter account. >____<

I think I got it all sorted. And now I am full of adrenaline, caffeine, and righteous anti-phisher rage. Time to work.

@Austin_Dern This is nice!

It's 10:30, all the last-minute morning chores that have popped up are resolved, no Crazy Cat Lady is calling me to specify how I should feed her buddies within a millimeter's precision, and there was only one issue in my work in-box, an easily resolved one that actually made me feel smart and competent and happy.

I am relatively calm, unstressed, and mentally uncluttered. At... 10:30 am. There is nothing really stopping me from packing up my laptop, walking out to a cafe in the NOLA sun, and having a quiet and productive work day. Our Guy is even supposed to come by tonight and drop off a 1/2 of a good PNW sativa.

I don't trust any of this. It's too good to be true. I smell conspiracy. *gets on her haunches and watches the horizon warily*

@Austin_Dern (It's actually about half "fuck that place anyhow" and half "yay peggy, you're better for me anyhow!" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWiaTQ91EE2Eo41_4YRBR8YfDBW4a3nSq )

@Austin_Dern I have a Fuck That Place Anyhow playlist that is highly therapeutic in these circumstances.

*quietly skips past Love Tractor's "We All Loved Each Other So Much" on her mp3 player and stares at a bulging emotional vault for a few minutes to make sure it stays CLOSED*

Sigh. This will surely heal some day.

@JulieSqveakaroo Love ya, darlin'. I've been consistently freaked out too. I can still actually see ways this could all turn out all right for some definition of all right. *hug*

@001zlnv It's gotten to the point where I can't even bring myself to destroy the cat icons in Luck Be A Landlord...

I'm starting to feel like the whole theme of the last couple years was "all your favorite gods from Bast to Antler Mom have gotten together and decided they are GOING to teach you tact and patience even if it kills you."

aarrrrrghh so the hulu ad algorithm picks THIS FUCKING WEEK to decide i'm a good target for 10 consecutive ads for cat food

fuuuuuuuuck you 😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾

She kept her "thank you" text, in response to me letting her know her babies have been fed, down to five characters. I am so proud of her. :)

I mean, FFS, she's 79 but she also says she's got a PhD in Psych and has run three successful businesses so she'd BETTER be capable of learning. :)

But yeah, last night and this morning's feeds went pretty smoothly and she's backed off a bit on the huge ramblings lists of instructions.

And we chatted more about Peebles and her inestimable charms. Huntress/diplomat is a FASCINATING dual class but Peebs seems to have mastered it.. ^___^

@eredien I would be very into seeing that!

@JulieSqveakaroo <3 <3 <3

@Austin_Dern I just can not sympathize in the faintest with Jack after the Trump Era.

And honestly, I'm so disappointed at Tina Fey's cheap racial potshots, especially since I can now RECOGNIZE one of her damn shows in an instant from them. *sigh*

But yeah, it still had a lot of charm, and I do miss Kenneth (even though he will always be around). I still find myself singing the "Problem Solvers" song whenever I feel like I'm about to bollocks something up real bad but gotta do it anyhow. :>

@Austin_Dern though i suspect leslie's got less of a mouth on 'em :>

or maybe not, i'll bet poiuyt cusses like a sailor, in the cutest "doesn't quite get what adult humans consider obscene or how to make use of it" kinda way :>

@Austin_Dern heh, found this on reddit seconds later

linda and louise have a skill that i truly covet

"so what are we gonna do here" should basically be my mantra in my upcoming social conflicts...

@Austin_Dern i LOVE characters like that, such a soft spot

louise belcher is basically my spirit guide

@Sig heh.

ask me tomorrow. it doesn't have a short answer.

wait, yes it does: seattle killed the rest of her.

luckily it is REAL fuckin hard to keep a lavavixen dead, especially when said lavavixen is an intergalactic criminal -- you really only need a few drops to survive :D

though tbh kincaid was really more the Wizard to my Man Behind The Curtain -- she was more like My Real Me than A Friend Who Lives In My Head anyhow

(and she may be again. again, you have been INSTRUMENTAL in this lately, though basically everyone who can read this pitched in and i'm sure she will be suitably grateful once she's been repaired and properly charged)
