Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@monsterblue Not currently AFAIK but when I get home maybe I can 'borg @anthracite's big ol winter serpent form. :D

Peg, you still got that sexbot OS from DatBadger?

@monsterblue *hacks up a mangled bro* Whoo! Pardon me! You weren't kiddin'!

I'm... I'mma go much some grass. Eww.

it's been a rough holiday but right now i feel, in my petty little way, about twelve tigers tall =^______^=

@xinjinmeng "But Doctor, it WAS the Bitch Pudding Special!"</pagliacci>

The toughes part of mass-reporting fascists and transphobes: picking the one obligatory survivor to taunt with the deaths of their friends.

(Insert Chris Onstad's rant about how the Achewood guest strips where people think it's funny to make Philippe cuss and smoke were always at the bottom of the barrel, not because it's offensive, but because it's such a safe and boring choice...)

God, Robot Chicken just totally fails to entertain me every single time. I didn't like "hey, look, we took a beloved children's icon and made it EDGY" the first 4,000 times, and... like... shouldn't Seth Green have matured a LITTLE bit past adolescence in the last 16 years?

i keep hearing snippets of conversation from the neighbors across the street and they sound sad about something and i hope they're ok-- christ, their college-aged kid has been my parents' hero-knight while stepdad's been sick-- but from the perspective of my own emotional wellness and current ability to deal with poignance i might as well take a dagger bath

"apply intense thermal energy to permanently alter his existential status"

Some cruel little part of me keeps looking at people who suddenly have chronic fatigue symptoms after long COVID and thinking, "Welp. There ya go. Now you know how it feels, ya no-longer-normie fuck."

Have fun with the empty advice. Have fun getting blamed. Have fun getting told, 'Oh, I know, I get tired at work too, it's normal' when what you're actually doing is spending your lunch napping on the floor of the bathroom, desperately trying to scavenge enough energy to get through just another hour. Oh, and enjoy EVERY MOTHER FUCKER who tells you yoga or herbal tea is the solution.

But I also have a lot of sympathy. And I should start reassuring more of these people, hey, it really DOES get better.

I've read chronic fatigue kinda goes on a 5-year cycle and you basically flip a coin at the end of each one, and if it comes up heads, you recover. Don't quote me on that, it's a half-memory. But it was true in my case and I seem to have won my second flip.

My energy level will never be normal. My focus level will never be normal. But I'm functional and most days I totally forget I ever had chronic fatigue at all. It'll be okay.

@Phorm Danger? Whazzat? Oh, right, that's what's on the signs people put up around me. Yeah, don't worry about me, danger is SUPER fun. *serenely licks forepaw*</🐯​>

@Phorm You know that classic adventure movie moment where the protagonist knocks on the door of the Grizzled Old Retired Company Man's door and says "Open up, motherfucker, I need you!"

And the GORCM cracks the door and says, "You evil bastard, I left the game. I told you I never wanted to see your ugly face again." And then the protagonist says, "<Name> is in trouble." And then GORCM opens up the door and beams, "<Name?> Fuck, you should've said. There's gas in the truck. Let's roll," and he's already got his bandolier and rifle on?

Yeah, You're our <Name>, Phorm. *HUG*

@xinjinmeng The Fincher one? I've been RIGHT on the verge of breaking down and seeing it for years-- the issue is that I know the big spoiler and I've been afraid that'll make it less fun. But if it's good, I'd be willing to give it a shot anyhow...

@Phorm She's not a bad little vixen.

All she needs is a little love.

*decorates you with ribbons and tinsel and stars and colored lights*

Love you lots, sweetheart. You're not alone in spirit.

@JulieSqveakaroo ohhhh shit -- most of the whole STATE?!?!

Hey.

Um.

I just wanted to do one good deed this year.

So I'm awarding my victory in the 2022 Little Drummer Boy Challenge to @Soreth. I will be listening to David Bowie's version now, as a symbolic gesture of transfer.

Merry Christmas, Ms. Dragon. <3

*throws up hands* Fuck it. Tim and Eric. We're doing Tim and Eric. I am literally so twisted up inside right now that it's the only media I can digest. It's a zero-poignance emergency diet, like one of those scrub-root poverty foods that poisons you just a little but at least you won't die.

@001zlnv @anthracite oh my god you're right, cuteness was NOT a side benefit i expected from this book <3
