Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

🅱️​ is for "blocked."

At this point, the far-right is so credulous, it shames the left. We should have exploited this weakness MUCH more ruthlessly. We have no excuse at this point not to have every single one of them running in fear from our rallies, because we've conned them into thinking we know Word Of Power: Death.

I'll save the various credulities of the far left for another post and, sorry kids, a more diverse intellectual environment. Let's just say I love & support you but don't trust you.

Of course, if you actually SUCCEED in your mission, without all our ethics being lost in the usual Red Queen's Race of exploitation, fanaticism and semantically easy answers... our finished FALGSC society should be fundamentally indistinguishable from the Fairie Veil anyhow, right down to being totally, balefully incomprehensible to anyone who looks at it with mere mortal eyes.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to recapitulate the storyline of the Pied Piper of Hamelin as queer transhumanist fiction, with Fully Automated Gay Luxury Space Communism in place of the Faerie Veil.

This _includes_ the threat of inflicting bizarre, permanent transformations on interlopers, rather than stoop to mere vulgar murder. As revenge for stealing our economy, we turn their children into queer leftist space monsters.

For the record:

I believe unchecked, unowned, unrecognized cognitive dissonance is bad.

I also believe that dabbling in paradox, magical thinking, and "entertaining two contrary ideas at the same time" is healthy, even vital for a truly examined life -- as a deliberate, knowing act that accepts the fundamental slipperiness of all received truth, i.e. ALL TRUTH.

Objections will be genially tolerated but not acknowledged. ^_^

Considering a parody of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure where all the stands are inspired by shitty, creepy 1970's AM radio, and their hosts are all wobbly Travis Bickle-y mall ninja types who taunt each other over a magic CB.

"Sad Eyes." "Seasons in the Sun." "Lonely Boy." "Cat in the Cradle." "Hey 19." "Chevy Van." "Afternoon Delight." "Muskrat Love." "Superstar." "Rosanna." "Summer Breeze." "Mandy."

No powers whatsoever except for wistful sighs, perfect hair, and just generally being Smooth.

Sapience, as we know it and have been handed it, is overrated and was probably a tremendous mistake The faster we get over our humanist baggage about creating a good replacement for it, one that still lets us guarantee our safety and autonomy without having to DWELL UPON IT all the time, the happier, longer-lived, and more productive we'll all be.

Most of the thinking humans do is counterproductive.

IT HAS BEEN [0][0][0] DAYS SINCE ZEBRATRON DELIBERATELY PICKED A FIGHT WITH A TRUMP SUPPORTER PURELY AS A RECEPTACLE FOR THEIR OWN INCREASING ANGER AND ENNUI

(We'd gotten it up to about 20 or 30, since leaving Birdsite. But some kid was claiming Antifa crashed that train in Pierce County and citing Prison Planet as "evidence," so... c'est la guerre, motherfucker.)

i'm having "those 3am thoughts" at 5am but it's okay 'cause I've got jet lag and i have special dispensation.

i had a dream that we were traveling on foot from washington to west virginia as part of a fake tv documentary and the joke was everything just kept getting bleaker and bleaker until we were more or less just walking through a blank white screen. it was awesome.

my thoughts are full of loss and decay but not in a painful way if that makes any sense-- just watching the fades.

Home safe in Ohio.

Dear Eric Bolling:

"Grit, manliness, individualism, meritocracy, profit, providence, dominion over our environment, thrift, & pride in our country" are not actual virtues. They are merely means to dominance.

In the process, you seem to have missed that the founder of the religion you allegedly follow ALREADY laid out a list of virtues... every single one of which is, mysteriously, present in the ethics of yours truly the "godless" heretic, yet totally absent from your own list.

Die.

I was catching up on news and saw a Fox News story about an alleged UFO. And I had this horrible premonition that it was 2025 and Fox News had diversified into _all_ of the kook-fringe theories I used to study, back when other people's mass delusions still sounded fun. Vapid anchors presenting health tips for monoatomic gold. Steely-eyed pundits warning us about Niribu's impending path. Laura Ingraham promoting Breatharianism under an anorexia-proofed makeup shell. Doom.

J. G. Ballard's Crash is proving to be an unexpectedly delightful read for air travel. It's giving my rising misanthropy something to focus on.

(I don't really have any right-- aside from general dislike of crowds, and the senile couple who insisted on an off-menu order at Frontera Tortas-- to be misanthropic. My flight's been easy so far, and I should be home in a few hours.)

(for the sake of editorial balance i should note that otoh i had possibly the most fulfilling cuddle of my life last night with anthracite, and as noted i've got 2 week paid off of work, so when i say don't feel sorry for me i really mean it -- this is just one dead spot in a very complicated and still mostly arable ecosystem <3 )

Ever find something perfect, years after you're too jaded, broken, and tired to enjoy it? And all it does is remind you of everything you lost? Just dead nerves for it to stimulate now.

I don't wanna talk about it any further. I'm fine, I'm always fine, nothing left in that spot to damage any further really.

And it really was a trivial thing, honestly. It was a very small spot after all, at least in this dimension. Once the gate had closed, its other sizes just didn't fucking matter.

Okay, seriously. If your bio has a line like "Allergic To Hets" or "Fuck Cis People" in it, I'll probably do 3-4 of the following:

* unfollow you
* block you
* dislike you
* put you on my list of people it would be okay to intellectually bully just a little bit for a good cause
* use you in casual conversation for years as an example of how social justice only makes some shitty people shittier

that moment where you're _just_ about to start worrying about your cardiac health, but your esophagus twitches and you let out an airy coffee-scented HWARF that immediately explains that tight sensation 😳​

basically my entire relationship with @anthracite​ https://awoo.space/media/SFBUYUWUs8k4q_j0Ato
