Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@001zlnv @anthracite I'm about at the point of doing a Sit On Anthy's Head Strike until such point as she STOPS GHOSTING THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY GRACIOUSLY OFFERED TO DO MOST OF THE REPRINTING FOR HER. I thought dragons LIKED hoards. *smirk*

New Orleans is resolutely normal today, including the vast amount of work I have to do, the "feels like 90°" weather, and the air being so thick with tree spooge my throat hurts.

You know, given the alternate timelines I've glimpsed in the last week... I'll take it and I'll love it. But I'll still reduce my lifespan by a couple weeks with a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit.

An incel is basically the human incarnation of Del Amitri's "Roll To Me," covered as black metal by Varg Vikernes, who has for some reason elected to dress and style his hair like an emo kid.

Poignant reading from Dawn, Jr this morning. Asked her about my impending trip to visit my family in Ohio. Got a bunch of happy, creative Cups and a Universe... capped with a Maya (worldly matters) and a 7 of Wands (failure and desolation). These sandwiched a couple of cards about stoicism and preparation.

My take: prepare for a welcoming, productive visit... but don't forget for a moment that things are slowly falling apart for these people there that you love, and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it but comfort them and show them you, at least, are one less thing to worry about. Meanwhile, Peg stays home, drinks, and touches herself a lot.

@LexYeen@snouts.online If only that were true, I'd be ruling most of the Eastern Seaboard by now. Or have already fled to the mountains a la Spider Jerusalem to get away from the Orthodox Postfurries who would have long since pushed me out into exile oh wait that already happened. O:>

@LexYeen@snouts.online It's funny, Peg and I were having a conversation about all the Bird scooters cluttering up Atlanta, and I remember saying something like "They talk like we're asking for Stalinism, but dammit, all I actually want is some healthcare and a public biking system..."

Not only were our home and possessions completely untouched, a package that was delivered the day we left was missing... and it turned out one of our neighbors had grabbed it for us the moment they noticed we were gone. I'm probably gonna get 'em a box of cookies from Brocato's tomorrow.

Feelin' crapped out and might be getting sick, but man, even that would be a small price to pay. I'm looking forward to a very dull week. (And then it's straight home to Ohio for 8 days, speaking of dull...)

@Leucrotta De mo... hotoke no kao mo sando made. *nod*

@001zlnv Oh, that's bloody fantastic. :D

just left mobile. the only good things i can say about this greyhound trip so far are (a) they haven't ruinously fucked up anything but my mood and (b) i have learned so much about the morphological diversity of the human chin.

@Austin_Dern Hmm. Let's check the metrics. How many pounds of mackerel can you eat in a sitting?

@Balinares Me too. I only had HBO sporadically when it was first airing in the States, so I missed large amounts of it!

@Austin_Dern Mine too.

The puppetry gallery is now captioned!

Oh, and in case you missed the SUBTLE HINTS there to go see Jim Henson's philosophical allegory "The Cube"...

@Leucrotta There is some really good stuff in there, and I hope it renews your sense of hope as much as it did mine! If you've got questions about any of the individual pics or exhibits, just let me know! In fact, I've got a good healthy chunk of day-job done given the circumstances, so I might take a break to start annotating the pics...

@hystericempress It's like how they take all the clocks off the walls of casinos and deliberately build them like labyrinths, so you're constantly passing a new attraction on the way "out." >_<
