The Bloop: Ellu Talks About Ocean Life (bizarre-looking animal) 

@neonNeptunian oh my gooooosh I love the pre-Cambrian weirdoes, Hallucigenia and Wiwaxia and Anomalocaris and Opabinia, I love the Burgess Shale and it's the only digsite I've ever really wanted to work because the climate isn't horrible for me. XD

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town *gentle nosebump and hornclonk offered* I've noticed you don't seem to be on Mastodon as much lately (or maybe I've just been missing your toots, entirely possible), and I've missed you. <3

"hey let's go see black panther, it's playing at the cinerama" 

@anthracite @zebratron2084 yeah, Spouse didn't pre-buy tickets, so we ended up having to wait an hour or so at the mall until a showing with non-front-row seats opened up. and yeah, it's *really good* and gosh-dang beautiful in parts (in cinematics, general visual design, *and* emotional/social response), and I look forward to seeing what y'all think of it! :D

@guerrillarain@witches.town .... :| well, hmm. I didn't know that. milkshake duck time...

@Leucrotta @Gaypow oh *neeeeeat*. and yeah, that makes sense wrt: dispersion/territory, I hadn't thought about that...

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net @chosafine@instance.business here you go. you're welcome

@guerrillarain@witches.town I trained some in captioning, as a subset of court reporting, and I'd be doing that as a career now if the "school" I made the mistake of attending hadn't been a money-sucking scam. so yeah, I have Opinions about captioning, mainly that it's good, we need more people who can do it, and we need to pay them really well so they can keep doing it and do more of it. and yeah, captioning in movies should be fucking standard. :|

kinda important to Mastodon US law - esp with regards to sex work 

Heads up, the US is trying to push through a bill that makes site owners criminally responsible for the behavior of their users.

oh right I should eat something. :P lack of sleep = need more food. >___<

watched Black Panther last night; Spoilery Thought 

@hummingrain the shout was very definitely a fanboy squeal, it was *adorable* really. XD

uspol, personal 

@Leucrotta @KawaSeadrake GOD YES. "I'M STARTING TO DOUBT YOUR COMMITMENT TO SPARKLE MOTION." *shiver shiver shiver*

uspol, personal 

@Leucrotta I've been fighting off "gotta think about what I'll do with the last five minutes of my life" preparation anxiety for The Coming Nuclear Apocalypse, my personal hangover from growing up in the eighties, THANKS CHEETO-IN-CHIEF. THANKS.

watched Black Panther last night; Spoilery Thought 

also last night after the second end credits scene somebody in the audience actually *yelled* "Bucky!" and EVERYBODY LAUGHED. like YES WE KNOW IT'S BUCKY, CALM DOWN.

Show thread

watched Black Panther last night; Spoilery Thought 

mentioned the idea to Spouse (about T'Challa/Erik, not Shuri, he knows about that) and he said "yeah but that's not the way T'Challa works. That's more of a Captain America thing." I said "Yeah... Cap and Bucky, sitting on the car talking about their feelings at the end of every episode OH GOD THEY'RE A SUPERNATURAL AU AREN'T THEY" (except without the incest I guess)

Show thread

also there was a trailer for the next Jurassic Park movie and NO I DIDN'T CRY SHUT UP YOU'RE CRYING. not because of the content other than EEEEEE DINOSAURS. I just hope to hell it isn't as much of a total stinkshow as the last one.

@hummingrain yeah but I think you have to like fling a car into space to unlock that achievement

Seattle-area Yelp-Esque Reviews Grump 

@hummingrain yah, that's legit. Spouse & I got super lucky with this place; moving away from housemates who have a vehicle and into an apartment within easy walking distance of a major transit hub = *still* don't need to get a car. I figure we'll probably have to get one sometime in the next decade, though, as one or the other of us starts losing mobility. yay ageing. :P
