Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

no

Practice your cognitive dissonance skills every day. The Republicans are way ahead of us, having honed theirs every day by convincing themselves they're still Christians.

It's funny, I don't often stop and think about how my background differs from that of my friends who were raised on the coasts and were *never* conservative, nor Christian, nor had conservative friends. I'm here with you after leaving them in utter disgust, so just imagine how personal this all is for some of us...

If the American Left were up against Darkseid instead of Trump, Twitter and Masto would be full of hundreds of thousands of copies of the Anti-Life Equation, boosted by well-intentioned activists who think constantly reminding you the enemy exists, and is undefeatably terrible, is somehow equivalent to fighting it.

Meanwhile, I'm rereading everything Wikipedia has to say about the rise of Hitler, and marveling at all the numerous ways in which we're actually *much less* screwed...

okay

slightly better after some breakfast and an unexpected dose of optimism from a friend ^_^

back for a #moodsnapshot

sing it from the mountaintops, motherfuckers 😼​

Yeah, I can feel the Snark Magma starting to boil up under my crust. I'm getting out of here before I bite something. Have a day, folks.

(And if you're thinking, "Hmmm, I should reply to this with an insistence that jackbooted federal thugs are certain to roll down the street and crack our heads for the slightest dissent at any moment," maybe you should take a moment to ponder which is a more immediate danger: a senile emperor with a pompadour, or a nine-foot-tall tiger with no remaining patience for defeatism. >:D )

As predicted, I am not dealing great with the state of things and will probably indulge myself in a minimal-energy day.

All I can say is, as good as the opposition is at exploiting the rules in their favor, we still solidly outnumber them. Maybe it's time to start living as if they're in an entirely different nation, and their laws have absolutely no authority over us, because that's probably where this is all headed anyhow.

Live in a way that unnerves them. That's all I got.

It's the end of an era. I have finished the bottle of Jeppson's Malört, the notorious nightmare-flavored liqueur that Peg bought me a bottle of several months ago.

So. Any Eastern religion fans out there familiar with the concept of Mappō?

Yeah.

Okay, I think the tiger fuse has been replaced. And all it took was three pints of beer, two shots of Malört, and an eighth of Permafrost.

I think it's time to step away from Mastodon. The emotional circuit breaker has popped, and nothing else useful can come from this account until it is reset.

The world may be a mess, but at least I can still amuse my girlfriend by freestyling Strong Bad's "Everybody to the Limit" over the soundtrack to her new PS4 game.

SET KITTENS TO STUN

Lunch was prosciuitto, manchego, balsamic onion jam, and mixed greens dressed with olive oil, wine vinegar, chile flakes, and Thai fish sauce, folded into lavash flatbread toasted to the consistency of a slightly tender saltine. I'm a happy kitty.

NTM, I think I basically last any moral authority I had over the last year. I feel like me lecturing anyone on common sense and gentleness would be like William S Burroughs lecturing anyone on anything after he shot Joan. If I blew it, everyone else might as well too, because if I was actually *trying* to be good and failed, what the fuck's left? >_<

Wanna say I miss Discordians & Zen Beatniks, but they all turned out to be misogynistic assholes with Dumb White Problems too. Really hoped my contribution to the world would to be inspire people with some way out of the trap, but... yeah, I'm all out of ideas. Parallax is a vague, blind attempt to claw at it one last time, I guess. But shit, if they managed to turn Steven Universe into a forum for orthodoxy battles, what'll they do to us?!

Fuck Terra. Fuck humans. Fuck brains.

Seriously, this is like the third time this week I've read a biting criticism of leftists, thought "huh, this person does actually address some valid points," then followed them back to their timeline and gone "OK HOLY FUCK YOU ARE A GENOCIDE APOLOGIST DROP DEAD."

What the fuck is it about this time and place, that we're down to just two prime memetic strains, and they're both kinda sucky and fanatical and literal-minded? :(

Every time I get really cynical about queer otherkin socialist folk, at worst I sulk around about it for a couple of days. Inevitably, I end up reading something written by the sort of people who criticize queer otherkin socialist folk, and I end up bolting back to your collective side and cowering underneath your collective skirt. Because you people can be adorable loons sometimes (as can I), but the far-right is A FUCKING NIGHTMARE. Their disdain *alone* is a reason to like you.

This B-52s video had such a huge impact on my early sense of aesthetics and what I want to be. I think it was my very first moment of "wait, what if boys COULD dress in fancy colors and hang out with the girls?"

Kinda wish I hadn't lived in NE Ohio, so I could have actually ACTED upon that epiphany much sooner. Sest lah vee-ay.
