Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@zx3 @JulieSqveakaroo *dresses up like Westley and delivers an extended monologue about living quite comfortably in the Media Swamp for some time* <3

@JulieSqveakaroo This is all gloriously frustrating, isn't it. :D It's why I love nostalgia hunts, it's almost like a puzzle hunt...

@JulieSqveakaroo Huh Digging further... it looks like there was an Outerscope 1 and Outerscope 2. Just theorizing, but is it possible they had separate characters, kinda like Infinity Train? I'm digging for episodes from each season to check...

@JulieSqveakaroo This is TORTUROUSLY familiar, roo. <3 I'll keep researching!

@JulieSqveakaroo Could you toss me a link to the Birdsite conversation, hun?

@JulieSqveakaroo Intriguingly, while every Google source I'm finding for Outerscope refers to it airing on "Vegetable Soup"... I found someone on a forum reminiscing about a very similar-sounding show that had a character named "Pennywise." So that might have been a Vegetable Soup character, or Outerscope might have been packaged into another kids' TV show? I'm still digging...

@JulieSqveakaroo Wait, are you thinking of Outerscope?

@JulieSqveakaroo Those are two I'm actually not familiar with, though I have heard "Palabra Jot" as a phrase...

All the best moments of my life are the ones where I'm collaborating with Peg on some crazy scheme. <3

@JulieSqveakaroo Been worrying over you both too, take care of yourselves and keep us informed. *hughughug* Whatever happens, just seeing you have to go through all this fear means it will be a long long time before I'm not tempted to smack a denialist in the name of cosmic justice. -___-

@xinjinmeng @anthracite if you ever want to see anthracite again leave 500 MB of unmarked porn in small denominations at the following coordinates...

Artie's belly is either not a trap, or it's such a cunning and devious trap that I have not even begun to see myself walk into it. I think it may be the Long Con.

@JulieSqveakaroo *cheers your T-cells on!* <3

Artie is visiting!

ME: American Dad is an exceptionally ugly, misogynistic show that constantly punches down and I feel like it pollutes my soul.

YOUTUBE: Want to see a five minute supercut of Roger being an asshole?

ME: ... Yeah, I'm in. *sigh*

Got a very polite hand-written note on wide-ruled paper inviting me to some kind of Jehovah's Witnesses event in town. Was very tempted to write back and explain WHY I will not be attending, but (a) low payoff (b) don't wanna do anything, ever, that might increase the odds of me having to talk to a Jehovah's Witness. It's the one prejudice I inherited from my mom, and it's one of only two prejudices I'm openly proud of.

(The other one is conservative Boston Irish men. Which is an odd position to be in, because I LOVE the actual Irish.)

it dawns on me that i was literally a queer radical furry with bizarre polymorphic alien characters before it was trendy-- like, ten years before...

forgive the moment of abandoned false modesty, but damn, that realization feels really good somehow

@JulieSqveakaroo Well, fuck. Best luck roo, keep us posted.

Peebles has mild asthma. She is definitely free of heartworms and FIV. She's getting a couple of shots and we are headed home.

Vet trip is at 2. I'm a complete mess between cat worries and resuming my medication, feeling right on the verge of a panic attack. So with considerable guilt, I am sending Peg in my place. I know I won't be any use at all if something goes awry. Gonna look for Peebs in a couple hours, probably spend the rest of the day asleep and convalescing. Wish us luck (faves are fine, comments are still a little stressful).
