Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

current mood:

"wants to instruct people in correct doctrine"

And number two is "FUCK OFF, COLIN ROBINSON."

What one media quote best exemplifies your general mood these days?

Me? "Not you, Guillermo."

I'm just so tired of being out of the loop.

Dammit now I want to try non-Latin alphabet soup.

logically shouldn't he have been called doctor when?

i mean, we know who

it's that guy with the scarf

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

I've noticed that the excellent Latvian sci-fi cartoon Fantadroms is making the rounds again. Note that there are TWO VERSIONS of the first episode, an international release with Wacky Cartoon Music, and the original Latvian with solemn electronica.

I feel the original has a much more interesting and sophisticated mood, and it's next to impossible to find. I've linked them both here-- decide for yourself and let me know which one you prefer!

Either one is a gem, though.

You know what I really wish right now existed in our Dark But Queer Cyberpunk Future?

Well, it's right in the CW. During the Good Old Days, I daydreamed that someday I would be able to make money as a high-end textual courtesan, making an actual living off of my ability to entertain people with kinky esoteric improv for hours on end.

Now, on the rare occasions when I find myself with any libido or energy to start with, I'm the one who seriously wishes they could just pay someone-- somebody AMAZING, who did this everyday, accorded immense respect and courtesy, and had a professional code of ethics to handle all the knotty interpersonal issues of doing a problematic scene-- to do this fucked up rubbercult abduction and betrayal scene I've been craving.

The future SUCKS. Has anybody else noticed that? >____<

starting a huge internet conspiracy theory about facetious hidden messages in one of your friends' fursona lore, purely as a show of affection

"the 1991 silly olympics in ninnyhammer, norway"

honesty i think i just need a hard reset

i am SO GLAD this is a four-day weekend for me

(also i feel bad for doing this in what is basically subtoot form, but seriously [1] it was such a dumb trivial impulsive thing i was upset about, t feels dumb to approach you directly [2] i could use a day to make sure the sealants hold ;) [3] i'm tired and gotta work all evening -- if you MUST know if it was you, feel free to poke, but even if it was it was really the dumbest thing and i realized you weren't even what i was upset over -- mostly I wanted to chronicle that HOLY FUCK i actually kept the tigerbrain under control for once n.n; )

i came real close to picking a fight with a friend today over what's really a pretty petty news issue and i'm just really grateful to see my emotional circuit-breaker is wokring and my first urge was to GTFO and add some loving temporary social distance rather than go Full Shere Khan on anybody

i have actually goddamn learned something

tbh one of you will probably see me refriend you soon and you can safely write it off as "meaningess tiger snit" :)

i do realize that the phrase "tiger snit" is not one that really inspires calm and i appreciate your patience -- the Audubon Preserve For Wayward Bitey Asshole Jungle Cats is doing wonders for me

Well, that's fun.

Found out I had a retinal detachment some time over the last year, and while it mysteriously healed itself, I'm still at "very high risk" for another.

Laser surgery ahoy, I guess. They can at least try to head it off. Better than going blind immediately? 🤷​

and once again i go to bed a little surprised and disappointed if i haven't been banned from twitter by morning

man i am just a big stripey hate machine today, all rage no productivity, no non-snark-derived happiness, but hey, at least the Tigerbrain is having fun and terfs are angry at me which is nice

Check out this article from 1997 about how the Web will Surely Police Itself Against Fringe Ideas Because We Will All Become More Rational Thanks To More Information.

You can see some of my biggest heroes of the early net being extremely, catastrophically naive.

Mmm-mmm. Can't remember the last time I had a delicious meal of ham steaks with no plates or silverware, raw carrots, grapes, and lemons!

I do, in fact, have an old death kit I've been meaning to use, even if it came pre-installed at birth. 🐯​🐯​🐯​

CURRENT MOOD: have https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U7xpGi5SsU completely stuck in my head

CURRENT ACTUAL MOOD: thinking the lyrics of that song contain some pretty good suggestions tbh
