Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@Leucrotta Believe me, if the finances and the not-dying both work out okay, the FIRST thing I'm doing when it's safe to come out again is visit Seattle...

@joshua Found it!

@Leucrotta Nope, not offended at all, just wanted to be pedantic about exactly the etymological point you just made. :D

@joshua That's the story of my work life these days. I dunno if you caught that SCP-in-all-but-name I found on Google Streetview, but... I've seen some shit. :D

@JulieSqveakaroo Actually, Junji Ito fate sounds kinda cool...

@Austin_Dern Oh, um, I've seen Psychedelic Pink. *blush* It was... influential when I was a kid. You can probably fill in the rest of the sordid details. n.n;

@Aradia I know, I'm so looking forward to it! I also found out S2 of What We Do In The Shadows is coming along just a few days later! ^_____^

ok yeah, i started thinking about the logistics of one of us trying to take care of the other in this tiny, underequipped apartment with no washing machines, if one of us caught the virus

and now between that and the dollar figures on that insurance statement, i am officially freaked out and not dealing -- i should still be working, because now I NEED to get to 40 hrs for the week, but i've stopped cold

anyone got anything left? an interesting bit of ephemera? a funny youtube link? a perverse fantasy? it's all welcome at this point, because i am on the verge of low-grade losing it

@Leucrotta I have so many pedantic things to say but I'm gonna keep my mouth shut 'cause they're all silly dago trivia you probably already know. :D

(Update: Don't give up hope, it looks like while damn near nothing was _technically_ covered, I get an... essentially random-looking... "member discount" for each service? So it's all a matter of whether any of that whatsoever ends up applying to my pending $800 in lab fees. There's a *chance* that roughly half of it will disappear...)

Looks like my insurance is dicking me over for about $1200 over a technicality about whether my PCP is in the right "service tier," something that was absolutely not made clear in any of their materials.

I'll be fine, but it means I'll probably have to spend my stimulus payment -- when and if it ever comes -- on medical expenses instead of just fanning it straight to charity, and I apologize to anyone who was hoping to get a piece of that.

I'll still be doing my best to tighten up my belt and work full 40-hour weeks, so I might still be in good shape to offer some help. It's just going to take longer than I was hoping...

@arilin iT mEAnS thE pRopHecIEs aRe trrrrrrrrUuuuUuuuUE.

(OBSERVER: "Uh, make that a 9/10. Does anybody have a very large amount of raccoon tranquilizers by any chance?")

@Soreth NOW IF ONLY I CAN FIND MY GINGHAM DRESS, MATCHING BONNET, AND MY LITTLE PENGUIN FRIEND MITZI WE CAN RESTORE OXYGEN TO THE SHIP BY 2600 HOURS...

=(@)_(@)=

@Soreth YOU. ARE. A. GENIUS.

*eyes footwear*

*eyes hammer and nails*

*eyes shirts*

*eyes underwear*

*eyes sixteen-page manifesto about the Punctuation Cartels*

*eyes hammer and nails again*

*eyes autographed photoprint of Pepe Silvia*

*eyes the neighbor cats and goes naaaaaah*

*eyes neighbors*

...

GENIUS. Genius. GeNiUs. gEnIuS. GENIUS. Dragon is genius. Genius. Everything can be fixed. Hammer, nail. Got a hammer, need a nail. Genius. Genius.

Current mental condition:

LEVEL 7/10 (MODERATELY SEVERE): subject has advanced from watching Murder She Wrote during work to watching Youtube commentaries about Murder She Wrote during work.

This level of boredom is considered near-critical and close monitoring of subject is recommended. The possibility of catastrophic raccoon failure is low but present (3.0-5.0%)

@JulieSqveakaroo That's a rough string of things to have to deal with all at once. *hugs a ton*

@xinjinmeng My how you've grown! n.n

@chimerror Huh. I wonder if that means there's an "Ace Trump" out there in a parallal universe, who actually managed to come out a decent guy.
