Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@anthracite *immediately beelines for your Reddit comments* :D

@Balinares Yeah, I felt a little empty after the last episode. I really wish more than ever that Tuca and Bertie had survived...

@hystericempress sub = good, boy = BEST but then you already knew that

@kelseyhusky I know, I know, I genuinely kinda feel terrible about it, and DEFINITELY do not expect much sympathy given the winter I've heard you've had up north... but it's actually been a pretty rough month and I'll take whatever I can get right now. :(

I genuinely hope you folks get back into spring mode ASAP... n.n;; Seattle winters are rough, I haven't forgotten. Make sure you're getting enough Vitamin D.

In short, this is a really frustrating city to try to be depressive and self-hatey in. I'm expecting a goddamn parade to come along any minute. -__-

My morning:

"Piece of shit. Stupid piece of shit. You're a real stupid piece... Kitty! Hi, kitty! ...of shit. But I know I'm a piece of... oh wow, look at that sun... shit. That at least makes me better than... Dragon! Hi, Dragon! Time to snuggle the dragon...all the pieces of shit that don't know they're pieces... ooh, pretty nerd boy at the cafe... of... of... what was I saying? Huh, coffee's up."

@Oneironott Except it dawned on me this morning, partly thanks to your toot, that if I can actually do my newly 40-hour job and not go crazy... I'll finally be able to afford that fursuit I've always wanted. So maybe you weren't wrong, ott. And just for you, I'm gonna behave accordingly today. :D <3

@Oneironott That's the sweetest thing anybody's said to me all month. *hug*

@Oneironott sorry, can't, still got scars from the last time

Posted without commentary.

Except for "Number 26."

I think for our next cultural shenanigan, we should get together and try to convince a bunch of Zoomers to adopt hexadecimal as "woke."

Alternatively, we should get together and try to convince a bunch of Boomers that a bunch of Zoomers has adopted hexadecimal as "woke."

I'm just inordinately amused by the last line.

So there's this song by Joanna Newsom that reminds me of one of my estranged sisters. And it is POISON. It hurts to hear, and it keeps popping up in unfortunate places--a head shop PA, most recently.

And then it gets stuck. For days on end, all I can hear is that treacly-sad harpsichord line and Newsom singing "Na na-na-na" in that weird longing screech.

And it drove me a new technique for defanging earworms. I filked it into a reference to a Youtube Poop*. Now it's a song about renting a horse, every half hour of every day, it just makes me giggle, and it has lost all power over me.

@001zlnv That's a good pony. n.n;

@JulieSqveakaroo Oh, hon, I know I'm not the first to tell ya this--I am EXACTLY the same way. And honestly, I never get ashamed or self-conscious about it anymore. 'Cause one major difference between the two I've noticed: toon images are disproportionately likely to have figures who are actively and obviously having FUN.

The aesthetics of most mainstream porn just completely turn me off. Everyone looks slightly bored and slightly coated in that weird filmy Adult Bookstore funk that makes the back two rows of Spencer Gifts smell terrible. >___< And everything is just kinda patriarchal and emotionally detached and ugly.

If I want to find a pretty real human boy covered in rubber, I have maybe 3-4 good sources for images. Compare that to about 10 seconds to Pretty Rubberized Furry Boi on FA.

NTM, with folks like you and me, there's just so much good stuff that you can't really _do_ on film, even if you have the brightest queer-friendliest aesthetics, unless you also have access to an ILM engineer...

Oh shit i've been offered a full-time, 40 hr/wk position.

This could either revolutionize or ruin my life. (Bet it'll also play hell with my insurance.) But it's the best conditions someone with my job skills could ever hope for for an FT job, so I really can't see how I could say no.

Wish me luck.

It's been a hell of a weird day. I'm not even going to go into the rest of it yet... especially because this could the rest of it not really matter in a couple months. ^______^;;

David Lynch Cinematic Multiverse

The Well-Meaning Queer Millennial Leftist Cultural Inquisition is inevitably going to rip the new Picard series up ten ways from Sunday for some grievous offense of sensibilities, real or imagined, and all I'm gonna do is laugh.

Because these days I just can't bring myself to defend a spinoff of a spinoff of a spinoff, and sometimes the enemy of my enemy is hilarious.

And because, yeah, the show is probably gonna accidentally imply something about Rich White European cultural hegemony that actually *should* embarrass them...

@joshua Better than sounding like Jerri Blank!

@Soreth I mean, surely there was _some_ form of holy book that you would've been happy to see!

Hmmm. I wonder how much it would cost for a bulk printing run of REALLY nice leather-bound Principias Discordia...
