Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

i can express my feelings about the left today in a single image capture from a very famous tv show but it wouldn't make any of you any happier nor enhance my ability to keep my circle of friends from bailing on me in these trying times

so i'm just gonna remind people i lived in the shadow of constant doomsaying for over a decade (even if it was very sweet friendly beautiful intelligent self-sacrificing funny doom with a very nice butt and it got much less doomy over the years ♥️​♠️​♥️​♠️​) and i'm just not buyin' any of it, because HERE I STILL AM

and if we're fucked i'm not only gonna make the most of it, well motherfuckers, i have been thinking about death EVERY FUCKING DAY OF MY LIFE SINCE THE DAY I LOST MY FATHER AT AGE 11 and it's just lost its ability to scare me

i am almost looking forward to the opportunity to go explode in a blaze of glory yet strongly suspect that i will not be provided with the chance

and if you really want the knock-down drag-out historical argument over this, we can do it that someday, but ffs not right now -- maybe when i get home -- but you really really ain't gonna like what i have to say

this ain't a subtweet -- i think once you're addressing more than 30 people at once, it no longer fits that definition

i just ain't convinced this is an unwinnable hand UNLESS WE FOLD OUT OF SELF-REINFORCING FEAR and i am skeptical as fuck about the cultural complexes and collective leftist... issues... leading people to think it is

don't make this into a self-fulfilling prophecy, that's the meanest thing i have to say, because i have fucking WATCHED friend after friend after friend curl up so fucking tight into their shells waiting for blows that never came... except that the blow came in the from of the damage done by HIDING INSTEAD OF ACTING and i am frustrated to the point of tears trying to figure out how to coax some of you out

if you're mad at me now, i ask you, plea for you to do me one big favor first -- reread at least the first two Wrinkle In Time books before you come at me

do you think meg and calvin were not scared absolutely shitless of It? thank got the ms. interrogatives (you know, the witch ladies) were there to calm them the fuck down, and once i am over my frustrating that is exactly the role i guess i'm gonna have to play

can you seriously look me in the eyes and tell me these fucking soulless idiots we're up against will have the FAINTEST ABILITY to learn how to kythe or tesser? pick up a goddamn spiritual weapon and use it

hooray hooray
the first of may
outdoor fucking
starts today

Welp. End of an era. All accounts suspended from Twitter. I went down telling a confessed admirer of HItler to go fuck himself for posting pedo blood-libel accusations against transwomen.

Zebratron2069 is gone, too, the porn account. It looks like it hasn't affected Peg's accounts, not sure how they work this exactly.

I filled out the "appeal your suspension" form. It may have been the most obscene thing I have ever written.

Good riddance.

@JulieSqveakaroo Also, haha, Rage. Fond memories.

"It ain't nothin' to wreck a bus."

@JulieSqveakaroo More seriously... any INWO or On The Edge perchance?

@JulieSqveakaroo Got any Superdeck? :D

(JOKE CAPTION: Superdeck was a notoriously awful CCG. IIRC it basically boiled down to Collectible War.)

@JulieSqveakaroo IT'S ALREADY UP OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

@JulieSqveakaroo OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT THAT MEANS RUSSIAN DOLL SEASON TWO PREMIERES TONIGHT :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

@LeDiva oh god valerian was such a waste of a good world D:

@mawr I love it. Reminds me of the discourse about "I got hung up, man" from https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5BFEE776011A4689 There is a HUGE sociolinguistic value in terms for "I don't have a specific answer for you and please do not ask for one."

@LeDiva For a split second I read that as "spawn squirrels." I just... thought it was important that you know that.

@mawr Also I don't know if "account of because of" was intentional or pure typo serendipity, but it's perfect. :D

So yeah. I'm okay. Mom's okayish. Memorial service is coming up soonish, plans start today.

If you were thinking of doing something unkind to yourself today, don't do it-- as a favor to me. Life is really short and we* all deserve joy.

* OFFER DOES NOT APPLY TO CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO JEFF BEZOS, MARK ZUCKERBERG, ELON MUSK, D***** T****, AND RICHARD SPENCER.

I've mentioned it elsewhere so I suspect most of you know, but I feel like I should announce it here, too.

My stepdad died today.

He was a really good guy. I am so grateful for everything he did for me and my mom. I will miss him horribly and I will not be particularly sane until I' reassured that my mom will be OK in the short, medium, and long run.

That's all I really have to say. Please don't reply. I'm full up on social niceties and wouldn't even know how to process them right now, though I really appreciate the ones I've gotten, and I don't have the mental energy to respond.

@hystericempress that was what ultimately put me off of batman beyond... *sigh* it's so true, you're mercilessly right

@Soreth @zx3 @JulieSqveakaroo @anthracite I... um... have fond memories of Robot Queen Rugosa and the Mind-Control Doodad (even if the nitwit artist spelled it "DODAD" on the helmet itself *sigh*).

Aw, hell, you know... I'd probably do Nik the Fodunk too.

I've never had my preden7ine mass biffled. At least not by anyone who knew what they were doing, sorry @anthracite!

@JulieSqveakaroo @zx3 @Soreth @anthracite I can kinda understand it in cultural context since there was such a huge backlash going against card speculators and people who obsessed over keeping their cards pristine.

I recall there was one in On The Edge that required you to draw a mustache on the card's illo of Mona Lisa in order to activate it. :D

Above all, I just think it's hilarious how fast WOTC realized MTG ante had unintended consequences that DID NOT WORK OUT WELL AT ALL. :)

@Phorm You should do the exact opposite. Do NOT make us hold you down and inject you with tiger DNA* until you're loud and overconfident. (*Er, with a syringe. 😳​)
