@kistaro I'm not entirely sure how my brain manages switching between :) and n..n so well, but I'm certainly glad that it does so. Damn near close to zero mess-ups so far, and something close to 20 years of doing so!
Agreed on rather being furry than working, and hugging.

@hystericempress *chef kiss*
Also a damn good song (and artist!)
Update: Scritches have been had.
re: Request for Youth Emoji Language Translation
@Phorm Yeah, I'd read that as more "here is an upside-down response to a terrible joke" than actually being upset. :)
re: Request for Youth Emoji Language Translation
@Phorm We all had to ask what stuff meant at the beginning, when we were the young ones. And youth always invent their own linguistic tweaks and twists in an effort to differentiate themselves from what has gone before. Honestly I'm not sure this is even new, I remember a few people on usenet who would do (: instead of :) for a smiley. It might just be that, communicating "I am weird"
re: Request for Youth Emoji Language Translation
@Phorm Or possibly a "ha ha only serious" type of humor response. I'd ask, honestly - one of the things that still sticks with me is :P as playful-sticking-tongue-out versus :P as expressing disgust. I cannot, for the life of me, ever see :P as being lighthearted.
re: Request for Youth Emoji Language Translation
@Phorm I usually read it as being "the opposite of happy right now", or "smiling on the outside only".
@anthracite I haven't been scritched yet today, it's awful!
@kistaro I could kiss you for this link o..o
I really #$&@ing want to play Mr. Card Game. But ... pandemic
@anthracite I've seen that before for a few artists, it doesn't strike me as too weird.
@kotep I've always been partial to "Jimothy" myself

Everything’s fine, Chat. We found him, and we brought him home.
The crows outside are thankful I have put out peanuts.

asking for financial help for basic living expenses, sorry for long post
Hey friends, I hope you're all doing as well as 2020 allows.
I'm afraid I have to ask for help. @goblins and I are in dire straits (dire gays?) and we need to put the begging bowl out again.
For those who don't know us well, we are a poor, disabled trans couple. Rune started a degree-level course back in September, in an attempt to improve our situation, and in the UK that means getting student loans to cover the cost of the course and for living expenses. Previously, we had been on benefits.
We knew that we were going to lose some of benefit income, but we didn't realise that it would be the vast majority of it. As of November, over £1000 per month has been cut, leaving us around £150 per month. The student loans (which will have to be paid back) should cover most of the shortfall, but we'd already had to spend a large chunk on books, equipment and travel.
The result is that, while we were able to cover everything for November, we have no money for living costs in December. We're trying to raise £1000 to cover what we've lost and are currently about a quarter of the way to that goal.
I know this is a tough time for a lot of people with the pandemic and an expensive time of year at the best of times, but if you could boost this toot and maybe donate what you can afford, we would really appreciate it.
You can also contact Rune for art commissions and I'm currently looking for freelance games journalism work. All of Rune's commission info is on their profile. We can be reached by DM.
Thanks for reading all this! xxx
tl;dr: Please help us keep a roof over our heads and food in our tummies this holiday season!
I think I'm just gonna buy everybody Aplets and Cotlets this holiday season.

Anything I can do for you?
@kistaro Fill all available space with crabs. Deep in the galaxy, they wait. The starcrabs. Mighty they are, and great vast distances across. They scuttle through the heavens, and where their crab claws strike stars, the supernovae follow.
