Katja [🔜ANE] Antares, a 🐱🐲. @[email protected]

Time for some #ff #introduction #introductions!

I'm Katja! 24, they/them, currently near Vancouver.

I often post about communism/other far-left politics, music (mainly rock, metal, and jazz), the legal system here, my experiences with gender/sexuality/MH issues, urban planning and transportation, food (I like to cook!), technology, and sometimes, you know, really gay stuff.

Feel free to send me a follow request! I only have my follows locked to keep out spam accounts and problematic users.

Oh, I forgot—

✔️ Catdragon, cat, dragon, kitty, derg, rarfer, and other really furry species-related ones

What terms should you use for me?

✔️ They/them
✖️ She/her, other pronouns
✖️✖️ He/him, it/its

✔️ No title
❔ Mx.
✖️ Mr., Ms., Mrs.

✔️✔️ Things that push my buttons, **if** we know each other well & it's an appropriate space for that stuff
✔️ Friend, pal, bud, other non-gendered terms
❔ Girl, sis, dude
✖️ Guy, bro, sir, ma'am
✖️✖️ Anything that's too friendly/🌶️ for the circumstances, or if we don't know each other well, unironic dad/daddy
✖️✖️✖️ Kid, boy, or any other condescending terms

Had to go back and adjust some colours (my monitor really isn't calibrated well for doing art!), but...

...I've finished my redesign of Katja! Now with less eye-searing #FF0000!

Tiiiiiiired. x_x;;

So, if you wanted to make this catdragon larger in some way… which would you choose~?

Oh? You want a euphemism for "landlord"? Do you think "landlord" is a slur?

Here, have an alternative that's less corny and ridiculous than "rental housing provider":

Extortionist.

You're welcome!

Good morning!

Goodnight!

Completely surpassing the entryist efforts of any historical or present Trotskyist party by sending a few hundred newspaper-peddling Trots to law schools, LARPing as respectable liberals, to enter the legal profession, win the trust of the government, work their way into the judiciary through entirely legitimate means, and then, hopefully, have five of them get appointed to the SCC, where they can somehow twist the law towards decisions that favour permanent revolution, so as to open the doors t

But I guess there's limits to what the courts of the occupying power will ever do to redress wrongs.

There's opportunities to mitigate here or there, but:

* The Governor General is appointed by the Queen on the Prime Minister's recommendation.
* The GG appoints Supreme Court of Canada justices on the PM's recommendation.
* The PM is the leader of a party, elected through a process where basically only the bourgeoisie and their political allies have control.

Seriously, reading Canadian case law on Indigenous title is... a pretty clear illustration of how *fucked* this country is.

They just take it as totally OK that the monarch and their army can show up, claim fundamental title over the entire continent, and then extinguish right to possession/occupation of nations that've been here for several millennia. "Any sufficiently unambiguous act of the Crown extinguishes title."

Just, fucking gross.

Showing up on the federated timeline and asking why no one likes centrists,,,

Cool catdragon wrangling tip:

If you manage to make multiple 💦 emoji happen, you're doing something *very* right!!

Oh, huh, they updated the post options interface on here.

Huh.

"How do I remove a hydroxy group?"
"...uh, from what?"
"A benzene ring. The 4 position of it, to be specific."

And immediately, I knew exactly what this person was trying to do. <_<;;

...while I'm at it, though, I might look for some more jazz, too.

(Yes. Yes, I'm looking for more spicy prog content.)

Currently using some ~music recommendation~ thing to find new music, and it's already showing me bands so new/obscure that they don't even have Wikipedia articles.

Huh.
