Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@rjl20@octodon.social @anthracite @KinkyTurtle Still exceptional background information, thank you! n.n Also a pretty reasonable assumption given the lack of full context! I mean, I believe there is some cultural precedent in English for "Starfucker?"

@rjl20@octodon.social @anthracite @KinkyTurtle No, no, rhis is definitely about fucking actual astrological bodies, not celebrities. :) Thank you for the insight!

this song makes me think of peggy and my escape from seattle and i'm all choked up <3

@KinkyTurtle @anthracite I think we have a winner. Thanks hun!

@JulieSqveakaroo @zx3 Oh. My. God. That brings back a huge memory: the Burly Bear network.

So apparently there was an indie music/comedy cable startup that was sharing space with one of the community access channels in Somerville, MA.

And I don't have great memories of them or what they showed, but it was all WEIRD and they had one of the last really GOOD video blocks I saw after the demise of MTV's soul.

I'll be grateful to them for the rest of my life for introducing me to the late Trish Keenan's Broadcast:

@zx3 (but this is an EXCELLENT suggestion and I hadn't thought of using this to track Julie's show down! <3 <3 <3 )

@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!
