Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Also the faves and universal lack of yelling "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU" over us leaving Artie a day or two is very reassuring, thank you. That's kinda why I mentioned it, people have pushed back when we were giving up too soon on the cats in the past (e.g. The Kitten Incidents) and I rely on y'all as my moral compass. <3

Doing mentally and physically better since we confirmed Artie is alive and intact up in the neighbor's attic, at least stopped serial-retching (which I do when I'm nervous, esophageal defect), but boy would it be nice to be able to keep any food down.

Artie is alive, at least. Peggy's 98% sure she saw her poking her head out the attic window in the dark, and we heard mewing that was very similar to Artie's "WHEE LOOK AT ME"/"HELP GET ME DOWN" mews. 🙄​

Rescue attempt #1 will be made tomorrow, or at least we'll check in and consider smuggling her some food and water up there. Peg is determined to leave her there a bit to make sure she gets her lesson finally-- I'm worried about another sudden vanishing and that one being permanent, but aside from that anxiety I'm afraid she's... probaly right?

I feel terrible leaving a buddy stranded up there, but aside from my own possibly irrational terror she'll just poof, I don't think she's in any imminent *danger* up there, the attic does not seem *that* dangerously decrepit. Still feel awful about it, some part of me kinda wants to rush in and play rescue tiger immediately, but... yeah, I'm not even sure she WANTS to come down yet?

Artie was not only last spotted back up in attic but is currently AWOL, Cox cable might suspend our Internet permanently over a three-second misclick on a torrent client, I had to cancel therapy due to Panicked Cat Search, and so much for that good day I was having.

No replies necessary, wouldn't be able to process them TBH and nothing will help until things turn out OK or I know for sure they haven't and can try to deal.

playing a very dangerous game with twitter support in order to prove a point

oh and also because it's fun to get away with publicly inciting people to shoot matt walsh

but no seriously talk radio IS a really good movie

especially the end

@LexYeen Uh... I found their Twitter and it took a really long time to find them starting to show their true colors about immigration and such, but... yeah, they're not outright fascist, but they're not the good guys. I see articles arguing for green policies and secular humanism, but a promising-at-first article about how Denmark gets social democracy "right" spends a suspicious length of time talking up immigration control and talking down Marxism. I get the impression they're trying to be Reasonable Conservatives or Sensible Neoliberals at best. Not ready to nuke them, but definitely don't see anything there worth reading.

@Phorm YES. I have not taken nearly enough time lately to honor and revere St. Sylvia the So-Done-With-Your-Shit. <3

@zx3 i read the plot summary on wikipedia and now i'm mad thx a lot ;)

@Austin_Dern I still get misty-eyed missing Archimedes Plutonium from sci.physics now and then. :|

@LexYeen *presses a button on the arm of her throne; Joe Rogan's head explodes*

Yes.

@LexYeen @001zlnv I haven't had this much fun since the Napster/Kazaa days, when I shared a copy of "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" that I retitled as a fictional Rahowa* track, "Lassen Sie den Käufer Aufpassen." ("Let the Buyer Beware.") The angry IMs from butthurt fash were top-notch.

*super nasty white-power punk band

@LexYeen @001zlnv To be fair, I have been recycling so much of my old material today, from "lol you stole all your memes from leftist-created media" to "hey, did you know that a shaved chimp is actually white-skinned and wrinkly, kinda like your Uncle Dad?" ^_____^;;

@LexYeen =^______^=

@Austin_Dern It is my destiny to find the person responsible and kill them. I just have to find the Sacred Book of Basic Fucking Wisdom I must bludgeon them over the head with.

@001zlnv Yes, and so much worse. It's part of "Ironically" Racist Star Trek Twitter. And it's DISGUSTING, basically a bunch of shitty alt-right kids using Trek races/species as an excuse for very, very thinly disguised racist. We are talking "Tuvok stole my bike" and "Protocols of the Elders of Ferengi" jokes here. We are talking "Harry Kim can't get his Ls and Rs straight." It's not even CLEVER racist humor, it's warmed over Don Rickles/crapmeme shit. -___-

If we have a motto, it's whatever Latin/High Martian is for "Don't Let Bad People Get Comfortable."

=^_______________^=

@Austin_Dern *pines for Brookline, MA and the days of decent bagels* ;___;

New Orleans does NOT know what bagels are. They think that they are bread doughnuts made of the same starchfoam as supermarket white bread. I don't think they've been within 400 miles of a barley malt solution. >____<

@001zlnv @xinjinmeng Oh, damn, maybe GW does recognize how goddamn silly the whole thing is. XD

(I have gotten several glimpses of WH40K lore that reassures me this is true and everybody knows how over the top it all is. Still, it just... gives my inner hippie the jibbies. :) )
