discourse snark, pangrams 

Typographers, please note: "the quick fox jumps over the lazy brown dog" is now cancelled.

You know damn well why. >_<

re: discourse, language, my apparent vile centrism 

@001zlnv Yup. This was pointed out to the OP in that very same thread and she just kind did a step-dodge and went "well, clearly, my point still stands anyway!"

re: she-ra, Eager Young Queer Leftists 

She repeated a pun about Bow having a brother named Sow who's a farmer.

And she quoted the name of a podcast with the, quote, "D-slur" in it.

Oh, and the only non-binary character in the show is "cast as a pedo" because they shapeshifted into a child -- for eminently sensible and unrelated plot reasons.

That's it.

I. Want. People. To. Die.

re: she-ra, Eager Young Queer Leftists 

Seriously. You ever wonder if maybe some of the people complaining about us HAVE A COUPLE OF DECENT FUCKING POINTS?

Don't worry, all they've done is convince me that both sides need to be burnt to the ground, Trump first then this bullshit, and replaced with... anything, really.

she-ra, Eager Young Queer Leftists 

Aaaand another vital queer creator is canceled for minor infractions of Proper Courtly Queer Etiquette. Now it's Noelle Stephenson of She-Ra, for some offense she apparently committed on a chat -- and even after reading the list of complaints I confess I STILL DON'T EVEN KNOW WTF IS GOING ON.

Fuck. This. Whole. Subculture.

I am out. I don't think I can even call myself a "queer ally" anymore. I've got your backs when the shit *actually* hits the fan, but I have got nothing but hostility left for these little armchair crusaders and I'm not going to fight on their site in these increasingly petty and stupid culture wars.

They deserve Trump and vice versa. A pox on both their houses, Kuwabatake Sanjuro Was Right, and so forth.

re: furry, online, that mike callahan urge 

@Balinares Yeah, I just *can't* go back to F-List for exactly that reason.

re: furry, online, that mike callahan urge 

@spacewastrel@yiff.life It... it was an extremely mixed bag. In retrospect I did not actually have much *fun* there, but others who were not having to play hostess might feel differently.

discourse, language, my apparent vile centrism 

"No."

This one is not up for debate. I don't care what anyone else thinks, this is madness.

re: furry, uspol, discourse, hot take (not 100% serious) 

@Soreth I mean, you're absolutely right, and it's practically iconic anyhow that Batman is the LEAST interesting person in Gotham. Especially in the Adam West days, the villains were where all the charm went...

furry, online, that mike callahan urge 

After a dear friend of mine has been complaining of feeling ostracized, I'm finding myself almost... *almost* tempted to open my heart up again and start an RP hangout on idunnodiscordorsomething.

I just don't think I can, though. I took -- and caused -- far too much damage trying to keep Puzzlebox and 12Fold together, and I had Acetone Kitten's indefatigable and patient help for both of those -- two traits I KNOW I am no longer able to muster.

It's just weird finding myself even able to entertain the notion again, that's all.

re: furry, uspol, discourse, hot take (not 100% serious) 

@zx3 @Soreth Actually, Andy Daly is best Batman, but for reasons I *really* do not expect anyone else here to get, given it requires matching one of the most grueling social discomfort comedies in history. :O

re: furry, uspol, discourse, hot take (not 100% serious) 

@Soreth Heh. Adam West's Batman is a cop the same way that Captain Crunch is a member of the military industrial complex. It's just pantomime.

furry, uspol, discourse, hot take (not 100% serious) 

If I have to give up Jake Peralta, Sherlock Holmes, and Batman because they're "copaganda," you have to give up Anubis.

He might be cute and buff, but he's in charge of an entire metaphysical system meant to reinforce the superiority of a dictatorial, slave-owning aristocratic class, even beyond the grave.

He's Pharaohganda. He's gotta go.

gripe, queerpol, smut, language 

Today I saw people fighting over whether it was prejudiced to apply the term "jacking off" instead of "jilling off" to a trans woman with a cock and I think it's time to burn off all remaining traces of my gender and species with a blowtorch, abandon all human language, and go live in a cave.

(Peg is allowed to visit as long as she doesn't tell me what the rest of y'all are doing. 😜​)

@Balina @anthracite It's just that kind of city. After a year living here, this and a host of other things don't even seem strange anymore.

re: kitty alert (+++++++) 

@nautilee Thank you! Three minipanthers, three tabbies, and... umm... an "other."

Sugarfoot: yes
Shemp: YES FLOP WIGGLE
Arthur: sure why not
Curly: huh am i still cat
Peebles: meh no
Penumbra: i have an urgent appointment under someone else's porch

storm PSA (+) 

We are fine, folks, but I am really grateful for all the people who have been fretting over us. <3

Basically the storm is hitting right around the western Louisiana border, much closer to Houston than us here in New Orleans.

According to the latest NOAA models, we are due for some minor flooding risk and some risk of gusts. There's some possibility for storm surge closer to Lake Ponchatrain, but that's a bit too far north of us to be much of a problem.

Worst-case scenario for us is that we can't go outside for a day or so and we have to take the cats in after all. We should be pretty safe from winds, and the terrifying (two story?!?) storm surges we're hear might happen in the west and the southern coast aren't supposed to hit us out here.

New Orleans also has some pretty good drainage systems. I've seen the streets go from ankle-deep to bone dry in under an hour. We should be okay, I'm mostly just worried for the rest of the state.

(They're mostly crappy Trump types but even they shouldn't die in a hurricane...)

re: food 

@JulieSqveakaroo Oh, we're basically fine down here! We are pretty clear of the storm. It's not even windy or rainy here at the moment.
