Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

eh-heh. my pronouncement of confidence last night was based on hopes we'd take the senate.

now i'm back to freaking out a little. :)

whatever happens, we've got each other and we've got some reasonably functional state governments with grown-ups in charge

we'll get through this

yeah, i have a bad feeling about the presidential election and an oddly good feeling about the future, honestly, relative to what might be about to happen.

i'm nervous but that's different from being afraid. yes, i realize that's potentially a very privileged position right now and my feelings are not meant to be normative.

just remember that stress makes you imagine the worst cases far before the best ones, and we still have a lot of power and talent on our side.

love u all. <3

@001zlnv i mean, raccoons get eaten. we know the score.

no. i mean we keep a very precise count. don't worry, we'll have our day. ​

well, dawn seems to be of the opinion that either we're going to win and get a better world, or the fight is going to be a surprisingly good party

sadly the two of swords in the outcome slot tends to incline me slightly towards the latter

or it would if i really thought there were any prognosticative power to this, and of course, i don't *cough*

@xinjinmeng @001zlnv And yet now I find myself craving a bowl of chili-mac so you may have had the last laugh.

and the incantation, feel free to join us

NOTHING LIVES LONG
ONLY THE EARTH AND THE MOUNTAINS

FEEL LIKE I'M ALL FLESH AND NO BONE
I'M NOT THE SHAPES THAT I'M SHOWN
HOPE I GET IT RIGHT TOMORROW

I SEE THE HILLSIDES
BURNING IN FLAMES
EVERYTHING'S GRAY
NOTHING REMAINS OF
PLACES I LOVED
NOTHING'S GREEN NOTHING GROWS
EVERYTHING BURNED
EVERYTHING WAS

=======================

SO LONG MY LOVE
WISH THAT I COULD FLY INTO TIME
ALL MY LIFE FADES AWAY ON ROADS PASSED
BY LIKE CRIES TO THE NIGHT
NOW I SEE YOU
I SEE YOUR FACE FOR MILES IN THE SKY
HOPE THAT I WILL BE BRAVE AND FALL INTO
THE DARK PART OF DREAMS

=======================

NOTHING LIVES LONG
ONLY THE EARTH AND THE MOUNTAINS

I SEE THE HILLSIDES
BURNING IN FLAMES
EVERYTHING'S GRAY
NOTHING REMAINS OF
PLACES I LOVED
NOTHING'S GREEN NOTHING GROWS
EVERYTHING BURNED
EVERYTHING WAS

LEAVE THE LIGHT ON FOR ME I'M COMING HOME
HELL IF I KNOW PLACES I SHOULDN'T ROAM
THINGS THAT I LOVE FADE OUT PAST MY VIEW
THE TIMES ARE RACING NOW I'M JUST GLAD I
SPENT THEM WITH YOU

FEEL LIKE I'M ALL FLESH AND NO BONE
I'M NOT THE SHAPES THAT I'M SHOWN
HOPE I GET IT RIGHT TOMORROW

love you all

if i were a wooful person i would definitely say i felt something slide around 6:15-6:25, during the bridge to the vocals for "...is a monster"

but i'm not mind you

starting up a prayerful listen of dan deacon's usa i - iv album

@xinjinmeng @001zlnv what no spaghetti :p

I might be from Ohio, but I've never quite managed to reconcile Cincinnati-style chili with my reality. (You are perhaps simply stronger than I. <3 )

yup that's stoned all right @_@

this one week off one week on thing is working out really... uh... something something @_@

Who am I kidding. If T____ wins, it's gonna be Deltron 3030 on repeat play until I can face the world again...

"I wish for Donald Trump to have the shittiest 24 hours, starting now, that any human being has had since the Italian partisans caught up with Mussolini."

@Oneironott So... Steven Universe syndrome AND She-Ra syndrome. (Even Bob's Burgers did it with Bob and his hardass father, which especially bugged me.)

Yeah. Parallax spoiler. When Olivia fucks up... it's eventually gonna be forever. After the way all these other shows have ended, I'm making a point of it.

@Austin_Dern attn @acetone_kitten@mastodon.social @acetone_kitten@soc.ialis.me

@Austin_Dern I suspect our in-road Lewis/The Mad Dr. Pinkerton would be delighted to meet you!

@Phorm Do it. We need all hands on deck. <3

Thinking of compiling a list of "yes, we're in the wasteland, but we're gonna fight and we're gonna win" songs juuuuust in case we don't pull this one off tonight. Songs for living comfortably in the Fire Swamp, basically.

Grateful for any suggestions.

So far I'm thinking of stuff like:

* Tears For Fears, "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"
* Santogold, "Shove It"
* Jimi Hendrix, "All Along The Watchtower"
* The 5 Stairsteps, "Ooh Child"
* A whole lot of Fela Kuti
* Stereolab, "The Noise of Carpet" (aka "Doomer Repellent" :p )
* The Police, "Message In A Bottle"
* The Ramones, "Have You Ever Seen The Rain"
* Sonic Youth, "Stereo Sanctity"
* The Soft Boys, "I Wanna Destroy You"
* White Stripes, "Seven Nation Army"
* probably like most of pre-Zooropa U2 :p
* The Nice, "America, Second Amendment"
* REM, "Little America"
* Camper Van Beethoven, "Militia Song" and "Hippy Chicks"
* CCR, "Long as I Can See the Light"

Help me de-Genx and de-Boomerize this a little, folks. XD

@Austin_Dern In the After Times, I really need to get you some photos of the interior of the Pinball Church down here. I think you'd go gaga over some of the rarities they've got there...

If, and this is a huge if, I were of a mystical bent, I would be very intrigued by the behavior of the Luck Plane today.

Maybe it's just that today already feels portentous and I'm retroactively applying it to ordinary coincidences... but my mp3 playlist has been BIZARRELY synched to everything today.

Like, to the point where I picked up the sledgehammer in Nuclear Throne today... and five seconds later, guess what Peter Gabriel song came on. Plus "Wicked Game" coming on just as I got my first of four Aphrodite boons in Hades.

Strange times. May "Bob" have mercy on our pstench.
