Hey, I'm a geek-type hooman and I have two cat-type birbs:
@autumn
@book
If you would like your birb (or anything else) added on birb.site as an emoji, just ask!

dear greedy corporations and ignorant governments,

we already gave you tld's like .com and .gov so stop trying to take over and/or wreck the rest of the internet. play nice or gtfo.

sincerely,
the entire human race

holy crap, i just hit my phone's back button to close an image (like i always do), and... the image actually closed! my place in the timeline didn't vanish or anything!!

a bigass thank-you to whomever implemented and/or merged this.

just played the megaman 11 demo. feels very much like mighty no. 9 to me -- i don't dislike them, but they don't capture that nes/gameboy magic either. interesting-but-kinda-goofy mechanics, neat-but-missing-pixel-precision stage, meh music, frustrating boss. (my same exact assessment for mm11 and mn9 :^) i'm curious what the mighty haters will think.

tetris (nes, tengen)
zelda: link's awakening (non-dx)
super metroid
xenoblade chronicles (any)
metal gear solid: the twin snakes

my tastes are exactly opposite of whomever this is for. i'd replace a laptop's lcd display with e-ink, and make the keyboard big and chunky!

alexa,
at 2am every day, play death metal music at maximum volume.

i have not yet had it in me to say this out loud when visiting friends/relatives who own such a device.

so, crystal pepsi is a thing again, huh? i don't drink pop anymore, but i'm willing to try a really weird-looking rum and coke.

to the 90s; may some of that optimism also make a comeback.

double #catmouflage @book @autumn

#caturday

the cats were buzzing about the house like electrons on an atom tonight. their locations were ... a probability clowder.

clouds: open hailing frequencies!

so, it's "dialed in" if you got it right, but it's "phoned in" if you got it wrong.

yikes. anytime i want to feel incredibly old and out of touch, all i have to do is try paladins again. and here i was thinking fortnite needed a tutorial.

random thought: a chess set but the knights are seahorses. ...and i guess the pawns should be prawns...

two, then four... at this rate @book will have thousands of legs by tonight.

people say "alt text" but mean "title text", and "screensaver" but mean "wallpaper". 'course, they also say "cloud" when they mean "some rich fuck's computer". nothing means anything here in universe b.

...and most members can't even be bothered to read the book.

church is an astonishingly stuck-in-a-rut book club.

book is a reverse houdini. he traps himself in inescapable situations, and we can always tell how he did it.
