Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Another installment of the Why I'm Like This Chronicles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQkYdfS0MPQ

Full episode of Not Necessarily The News, a news parody from 1982. I was raised on this and Bloom County, so as much as I play up my fundamentalist phase, I was pretty much destined to grow up leftist. I've suspected Reagan worshipped the Demiurge since I was six. :>

God, this one too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuzgslDhYeg

This collection of promos from 1980s Nickelodeon is the strongest I can distill my childhood, without the risk of poisoning you with glitter hairspray and white noise.

On a related note: is there anything you particularly hate when you get criticism from your employers? I figure I probably still have some annoying habits, and our outsourced workers have put in a sincere enough effort that I wanna go out of my way to be as nice to them as is practical. O:)

I AM SO GOOD AT MY JOB AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH. =^______^=

I am writing up a bunch of scrupulously constructive criticism for my coworkers, I am very proud of how much I seem to be killing this, and I am the happiest Lisa Simpson right now.

OTOH, I would never have been able to get in this good of a mood if you all hadn't come to my aid last night, so... *purrs; nuzzles; licks; tries to sit on your shoulders; pointedly does not eat you* 🐯​❤️​❤️​❤️​🐯​

You know what I'm in the mood to do today?

Pick a highly saturated color or two, arm about a dozen of us with those trigger-grip high-capacity paint sprayers, and convert large swaths of Seattle into a Splatoon arena until they round us up.

And then we paint the cops.

I started to fall again this morning... but thinking of all the support I got last night formed a pretty good safety net. I'm sorry I have to keep leaning on people like this, but I'm slowly getting better. Thank you all again for putting up with me. :) <3

having a catastrophic morale failure

if you could please show me a sign of something in my life (besides my relationship with Anthracite), this community, or this country, that I give a shit about and is actually not decaying, this would be a great time to bring it to my attention

also i think i am getting really sick of hearing people shit-talk this community -- please keep in mind i had a role in its creation and while tempted to just let it go after the year i had... still hurts

(I was never cut out for a townful of Face-To-Face Friends in the first place, because I'm so much better here in the studio than I am live...)

Still ruminating over everything that's happened in the last few months. Between that and reading the news, I'm just feeling old, obsolete, and toxic today.

I could use petting, but what I could really use is some sense I'm worth a damn to anyone but Peggy even when I'm *not* explicitly asking for petting.

Everything today is reinforcing my sense I'm someone people tolerate more than like, more of a friend emeritus with lingering historic honors.

I just mildly damaged a pair of my jeans, and I found myself muttering "stereophonic hamsterdicks" out loud. I'm not quite sure where that came from, but it was apparently intended to be an expletive of some kind.

I think I may be spending far too much time around Peggy. My maledictions are turning all whimsical.

(Oops, it linked to an Alive From Off Center playlist -- what comes up first isn't Gertrude Stein... I presume. O_o; But it's in there somewhere, and all these videos have pretty much the same aura of ripe 80's bulldada.)

You kids joke about 1980s aesthetics, but have you ever taken a really brutal look at vaporwave in its final, terminal stages of pretense? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmtSuMu-3O8&index=2&t=0s&list=PLFxgAM3UAATdFsT_i46tXQefeExSvFCL8

(I kid -- I actually find this old short, a Gertrude Stein adaptation, sort of charming. Content warning for... um... policemen... and killing... I guess?)

Self-image, 2/21/2018: "Sweet Dee" Reynolds from It's Always Sunny except a cat instead of a bird

If I could do anything in the world to accommodate my current mood, anything at all, I would get a black-market liposuction and then promptly refill the resulting cavity with 80 lbs. of assorted pastries, eaten in the attic room of a sumptuous Alpine ski lodge, with the windows wide open, while shaking my fist to the heavens and shouting things like "HUMANS ARE BASTARDS AND THEIR GODS ARE BUMBLING MORONS" between bites.

Also, content warning for Morten Harket's TERRIFYING BIRD NOISE at 0:41 in "Lesson One": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc6MumuychA

I think I want to sample it for Parallax (Red) and use it as Kurt's Wilhelm scream.
