Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@LeDiva Seriously? I was expecting some kind of American Horror Story foofaraw. I LOVE horror, and will totally seek this out on your recommendation.

corn (2 12 oz. cans)

chicken (6 large skinless thighs)

green peppers (2, chopped)

chili (preferably ancho or guajillo)

*SIGH* (3 cups, world-weary)

onions (2 medium yellow or white, chopped)

@xinjinmeng For what it's worth, the longer I've seen you in action here, the more I've liked you. <3 And I just wanted to let you know someone did take a moment to sympathize with your very valid frustrations. You can be delightfully tart but I don't find it complicated to interact with you here at all, I find it natural and rewarding.

And it's not just you, Lower Decks did absolutely nothing at all for me, and I should have been a real easy sell.

@Leucrotta that's exactly how i felt before ours showed up D: D: D:

i'm not even gonna pretend this is some kind of heartwarming story and a reason you should get a cat-- i'm still scared shitless every day i'm gonna fuck something up for them D:

we have cats because nobody else is gonna care for these little guys and there's no going back to a life without responsibility

it's like i got teen cat pregnant D:

i found some old pics of olive and snowy, sugarfoot's kittens that we raised this winter, and i just happycried for like five minutes

i miss the hell out of them but their new food dude is the sweetest guy and is so proud of them both. it's comforting knowing they're just up the street. their mom even got to meet the kittens' adopted uncle Smokey the other day.

i'm just so happy they're happy and safe and we broke their family's cycle of street life-- gods i wish i could do the same for their aunts, uncles, mom, and grandma

love you, my little boys

i really miss being a robot

(singing to Shadow:)

🎵 you're a little smaller than a fox
🎵 so you hide real well inside a box
🎵 you let out a little poot
🎵 and i pet your little snoot
🎵 odds are you'll still be a cat tomorrow

🎵​ secret kitty cat
🎵 secret kitty cat
🎵 you don't know about numbers
🎵 and don't care about your name

@Leucrotta I just can't help thinking about how if this happened on Mars it would've been shark meunière within thirty minutes. 🐯​

@001zlnv sadly i retain a filk allergy from a prior relationship and if i listen to any more tom smith i'll break out in hives ;>

(she's actually a very sweet lady and we're still good friends, but... oh lordy i think she and her mom dragged me to the Ohio Valley Filk Fest one too many times -- filk is like arsenic, it accumulates in your body tissues over time

i have however heard that heavy-metal chelation can be an effective therapy so maybe i'll bust out the Black Sabbath first and see what happens 😇​)

this is definitely one of those "hoist the jolly roger and start cutting throats" days

@hystericempress "Rudy Rucker... paging Rudy Rucker..."

@Leucrotta Izzat the Hood Famous Bakery in Ballard or a different one?

I am in such a "destroyer of worlds," "i wanna decide who lives and who dies" mood this morning.

@zx3

it has now been [0][0][0] seconds since Peggy and I last said the words "dog blog" to each other.

Also I have dog germs on my nose. THANKS, occasional cafe-buddy Luna. >_<

come on, New Orleans, you're in the fucking tropics-- it should be EASIER to get mango sticky rice here, not harder!

Starting up a round of the Annoying Gryphon Game was a really good idea.

i have started my day in a manner befitting an empress*, with good weed and bad vodka with a 99c Jarritos mixer from the worst-best bodega on the planet

i am nearly prepared to conquer worlds; terrans, this is your notice
