Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Looks like we're moving to NOLA for good, sometime around next April - June. I have complicated feelings about this, but they're mostly "yup, feels like things in Seattle have mostly come to an end, time to go."

Nothing's going to change for the better here, if it does I've got zero remaining faith I'm going to be asked to be a part of it, and there's not much to do besides accept it and make a graceful exit.

Maybe I'll feel better after breakfast.

me: "You're right, Peggy! It IS time to call @mmsword in on this conversation [about extremely esoteric donuts!"

Peg [who had suggested no such thing]: "That's my cue to leave. Exit, stage door!"

For the record, we were pondering a hypothetical Rodeo Donut (try 'em, they're in Ballard, so good) named the "Blazing Saddle."

We had gotten as far as "sweetened pinto bean paste, beef bouillon powder, and candied jalapeno pepper" when she stormed out in hopefully comedic exasperation. 🐯​

For those of you who have been concerned about the new "study" on "rapid-onset gender dysphoria," here's the link to the current /r/science thread on it:

No guarantees it's still Good Stuff past the top comments, but... yeah, at the very least, it looks like the science community ROUNDLY has our backs here. This is just not a good study, and evidently it's under consideration for retraction by the publisher. It's a garbage study and people seem to be recognizing this.

I think I've either invented a new musical genre or caused serious damage to my temporal lobe.

Okay fuck this is just a jaw-dropping amazing performance go go go

Feel like a lot of us are getting called out by this Tim Minchin song.

It just dawned on me that I've been affiliated with the furry fandom for 28 years.

Fuck. *disintegrates into a pile of dusty Albedo back issues*

Hey, food people.

Are air fryers all they're cracked up to be? How low/high maintenance are they? Is a cheap one okay? Any good brands?

I admit I'm being sorely tempted...

By popular demand, those dingo pups I posted earlier today but removed due to technical issues which should not affect dingo quality:

Yeah. 90 degrees and can't open the windows. I think I'll be doing my "day" job after dusk today.

I love it when people vehemently debate esoteric aspects of Mastodon etiquette, with no real rhetorical tactic in mind except "loudly insist other people embrace my personal set of moral boundaries." My block list hungers sometimes, and this is a good way to feed it.

"Heaven and Earth are not partial. They do not kill living things out of cruelty or give them birth out of kindness. We do the same when we make straw dogs to use in sacrifices. We dress them up and put them on the altar, but not because we love them. And when the ceremony is over, we throw them into the street, but not because we hate them."

--Su Zhe (1039–1112), Commentary on Ch. 5 of the Dao De Jing

you and me babe
livin' for dreams
lifin' for love
drinkin' for free

sittin' on top of an old robot
sharin' and carin' it out
memories scrubbin' me down
memories scrubbin' me down!

Today I learned that Australians call crayfish "yabbies," which means I never have to feel bad about making the "chazzwozzer" joke from the Simpsons about them ever again. ^____^
