Empress* Rezeya I of House Montecore-St-Hobbes, Sovereign* of Mars, not* just some bitchy tiger-thing squatting in a derelict military base as the vile* deceitful* Solar Annotators would have you believe

50, she/her/Your Majesty*

Ahem. 😼

Heh. He'd know, given what became of Boingboing...

Humph. The IMperfect cat does not exist. 😼

Now apologize for your blasphemy to Bastet and give that handsome cat a treat in penance.

I mean... it's REALLY hard to be pissed at the Internet Archive. You're heroes. <3

Yup. Primate brains loooooove their categorical boxes. Sigh.

I see you are another of the few, the worthy... Cheers. 🥃

I have *certainly* known people who could be fairly described as "transgender fundamentalists." A good lot of them were people who had just hopped off of some other dogma train and, I guess, could just not fathom life without Rules, rules that were mostly for applying to other people.

Yup, it's just like Sev said. You have to be packaged in a neatly labeled little box before certain types of people will treat you like anything but a factory mishap. Or an unexploded bomb.

In related news, I have since nicknamed myself "the century egg," for reasons you can guess in context. 😼

I love Noelle. I am not Noelle. I could never be Noelle; I should be so lucky. I am a mean bitey cat of strange, monstrous, and androgynous form and that's a part of me that I've since realized should never have been up for negotiation. 😤

On *both* sides of that aforementioned border. I could tell you some stories about the Seattle hive (fond of most of them though I still am)...

I think trying to refer to me by the name of my unicorn alt as if she were ME, in an attempt to insist I NEEDED to transition, was the last straw.

I think the only thing on earth I would welcome less than this bot are murderbots and Vincent Canby bots.

Not necessarily in that order.
November 21, 2025 at 3:25 AM
Heh. It's like living between Carpenter's Thing* and the Pluribus hivemind... I don't want to belong to either, I don't think I can wholly trust either one, but it's pretty clear which one is kinder. I just wish they would stop trying to assimilate me.

*get your mind out of the gutter, people 😼

The "Someone Else's Problem" field. I know it well. It is a key technology in Martian social defenses.

It ain't freedom.
November 21, 2025 at 1:08 AM
I didn't get around to that part of it in my earlier rant, but yeah. Peaceful, democratic, but... pretty hegemonic and absolutely *insistent* the best solution is just for me to give up my independence, ignore some of my needs, and let them annex me. It's rather better than the alternative, but...
November 21, 2025 at 1:08 AM
Ah, yes, the legendarily successful "wacky sitcom hijinx" defense. Nobody *ever* gets in worse trouble by piling on more lies.😼

And of course you are always welcome to seek aid and refuge from the glorious Martian Empire. And scritchies. And [REDACTED] but only with Sam's permission. 😼

Luckily I was raised right, by a wonderful woman who really treasured learning and independent thinking, so developed a natural immunity real quick and just started asking a LOT of questions...

100% agreement there. I could tell you some stories of my four-year flirtation with the fundies when I was a teenager. Basically, my mom's a Very Ex-Catholic, so the only resource I really had for "what Christians are supposed to do" was... the Trinity Broadcast Network. 🤢
