Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@zx3 That's just Jerry Lewis with extra steps. :D

@hystericempress how could i not? weird al would also be acceptable

also note that in order to properly respect my gender you are expected to pronounce those pronouns in your best jerry lewis voice

@Phorm *hugs* These are valid anxieties and a valid place to share them, dear.

@Phorm Oh shit, I hadn't thought about the kind of damage this would do my stepdad... Yikes. Fortunately, they don't spend a lot of time in crowded places these days and my mom takes EXCELLENT care of him. (He's quite lucid and still fairly mobile, he's just... an old man from Ohio and has that idiotic "I'll be fine, I'll just power through, don't mind me" attitude...)

@Phorm We're definitely gonna lose some people to this flu. :\ I'm thinking "not bad" compared to, say, 1917 here, not bad as in "good." >__>;;

Hmm. Speaking of the tigress, I think it might be time for me to head back down into the Vault and let someone else take over the social functions of the Human for a while. But the tigress is having so much fun eating Birdsite, I hate to bring her back into such an enclosed area...

Any requests? The unicorn has been showing promising signs of recovering from her injuries, maybe her. And we all do miss the moon cabbit in here. (Everything was so much TIDIER... Raccoons are not known for our housekeeping talents. =(n).(n);= )

@Phorm From what I'm reading I suspect your odds of survival are pretty good. :) But I still agree with you 100%, corporate cultural is all in all a HUGE goddamn threat to public health.

FWIW, my employers have shut down all travel to and from China and told us all to DO WHATEVER WE NEED TO in terms of health leave hours and working from home... so it is profoundly likely that yes your employers are just objectively irresponsible pieces of shit. >__< But you knew that.

(This might not be an appropriate time or place for this, but: THIS IS WHY YOU NEED A WORK-APPROPRIATE BUSINESS CASUAL BALLHOOD. NOW MORE THAN EVER. They do make them with one-way visors now, you know. We can just print your SSN over it so they know who you are/were. ^___^ )

@LexYeen@snouts.online and yet they are what separates the human(oid) from mere animals! if raccoons had pockets my tiny cousins could rule the world! wallets, phones, coins, jingly keys--just imagine!

(i... dunno about marsupials. they must have... other issues)

oh and thank almighty Bast, they gave her antibiotics via injection, so nobody has to try to feed her pills...

Shadow did great at her vet appointment! She did have a bit of an abscess but it's already healing up nicely. The vets were absolutely amazed she's a street cat, because she was so sweet and patient with everybody. Now she just has to put up with two weeks of the Shame Cone and my allergies have to put up with two werks of Fulltime Indoor Kitty. It's worth it. Only concern now is she's still got a tiny bit of a cough...

@001zlnv Ah, here we go.

You can probably guess why it was a pain in the ass to search for...

@001zlnv i think i have a youtube link for you when i'm off mobile...

You know you love a song truly and deeply when you can recognize it through noise-canceling headphones, purely from the shred of bass coming through.

("Girlfriend is Better," FWIW.)

I want to see a video for this with frolicking cartoon mice.

@Phorm @anthracite @Djinnanigans@dragon.style Oh, cheer up, now you're the Queen Bingohead! You're a walking jackpot! 😻​

@kelseyhusky Hmm, well I am hoping to head up to Seattle in the next couple months...! Thanks, hun! I might take you up on that.

@kelseyhusky That sounds awesome! I think I might try to hunt those down in paperback, honestly!
