Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Now it's Cocteau Twins, "Heaven Or Las Vegas."

OH MERCIFUL GOTHIC LORDS AND LADIES WHEN WILL YOU DRY UP THIS RIVER OF MOODY DREAMPOP NOSTALGIA RAGING BEFORE ME

;_______;

Current experience: listening to a customer incorrectly mansplain a song cover to the female barista.

He didn't know that the 1981 Soft Cell cover of "Baby, Baby Where Did Our Love Go" wasn't the original. And he was so adora-nnoyingly confident about this error.

@kistaro Are you sure they're not talking about Jackson Publick?

This was not a good night for Gary Numan.

There are good nights for Gary Numan. There are _fine_ nights, I dare say, for Gary Numan.

This is not even a good one.

@dodec @silicondawn I mean, she is the semi-secret lead in our comic so I guess it's not really surprising she's attracted to the deck these days! FWIW I think Twin is much more likely to be the "everything withers and i want to help you accept it" Death than the RAWR WATCH AS I REAP ALL LIFE kinda Death...

@silicondawn Dawn, you and I gotta have a little talk...

@Phorm I have a lot of trouble seeing you as a steely eyed fanatic dear. :)

@Oneironott @Leucrotta @Thaminga FWIW, I'm kinda curious what exactly happened today and I *am* very concerned if people are giving you shit for your interests...

@JulieSqveakaroo Yeah, I think if I do get dragged into it, my allegiance will be everybody on either side saying "Um, I did not sign up for a cultural war, I just had a kink and wanted to enjoy it." Everyone else is potentially subject to shenanigans if I see them trying to "cancel" the other or whatever the fuck. >____<

@001zlnv Basically a Very Popular Group Of Furs With A Very Specific And Problematic Kink has members crusading against Furs With An Even More Specific And Problematic Kink, and I have friends on both sides and I'm afraid the best I've got right now is to fire upon any armed parties I see. Anyone in civilian or medic clothes will be spared. =(>).(<)=

@Leucrotta @Thaminga Eeeeyup. Just the winds of Discourse a blowin'. Basically a Very Popular Group Of Furs With A Very Specific And Problematic Kink has members crusading against Furs With An Even More Specific And Problematic Kink, and I have friends on both sides and I'm afraid the best I've got right now is to fire upon any armed parties I see. Anyone in civilian or medic clothes will be spared. =(>).(<)=

@Thaminga Good luck. I will be sure to set my Doomsday Device to "No Werewolves." *nod*

And if you think I'm not willing to play Fistful Of Dollars with this, you drastically underestimate my level of frustration, cynicism, disappointment, and/or boredom. There's a reason I used to call myself a Social Justice Yojimbo.

I have this sinking feeling that two subgroups of my acquaintances in the fandom are gearing up to prove good and hard why sapient beings just can't have nice things.

@Djinnanigans@dragon.style Random guy taking great glee in someone else getting suspended for "white knighting" in defense of people against right-wingers, basically. Nobody of consequence, honestly, it just feels a little bit vindicating that Twitter's censuring me but letting his shenanigans pass... It may have blown over, though, I haven't heard anything back so far.

@zx3 Oh I'm fine. Just fine!

Haaa!

Haaaahaaaa!

Bwaaaaahaaaa!

SO FINE I'LL SHOW THEM ALL!

*lightning and thunder crackle in the background, draining into the antennae you missed seeing her drill into her cranium*

She seems to be okay! Nothing major on a chest x-ray but they're gonna have a specialist look closer. Just a touch of bronchitis and she's got an antibiotics prescription for it.

I apologized profusely for hassling the staff and they were super nice and supportive about it. Still a tad fretful about the aftermath and financial effects but I think we're ok!

And I am so fuckin proud of myself for standing. n.n

@Leucrotta Heh. Must I? Even I can bring the boathook?

Oh, good. It looks like Ms. Dragon is getting some degree of actual card, including an x-ray. This means I will not have to channel Rezeya The World-Mangler, my ultimate summon, upon anyone at this clinic.

Which should free me to spend my remaining Mana Points on something more civilized, like casting Summon Cake for Ms. Dragon after we're done here.
