Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Also I just want to point out that this card's full ancestry is "rabbit pelt, wolf, mantis god, ouroboros."

Which is just about right for Comrade Laika.

God dammit, my poor stepdad is stuck in the hospital again.

Mom has absoutely assured me it's not really life-threatening, and she would never lie to me about something like this.

But he's got another round of breathing and heart problems and they wanna keep him for ANOTHER three days for observation while they adjust the meds that are probably causing it.

And that's a colossal morale hit for a guy who's already had a pretty rough couple years, on top of COPD and the aftermath of colon cancer.

And I really wonder how many of these he's got left in him, pushing age 71. And how soon I'm gonna have to go into Filial Duty mode to make sure Mom is OK if and when something ever happens to him.

Thank god for Breeze Airlines, at least I can get home fast and cheap when the days come. ;__;

In the meantime, the poor guy's *probably* gonna be OK but he's understandably very grump, and he's a super nice guy who deserves much better.

@typhlosion I loved Seanbaby's Calculords.

@chimerror The history of pinball-- and the war against it-- is fucking FASCINATING.

Just one tiny example: https://onwisconsin.uwalumni.com/features/the-man-who-saved-pinball/

I also like that the original "tilt" mechanism was rumored to be just... big pointy spikes on the underside of the machine. :D I'll see if I can find a source on that one.

that moment when you've encountered so many queer zoomer purist-left crusader antis in a row that you can kinda see how someone would say fuck these guys and join the alt-right just purely on the principle that it's as far away from these joyless fuckers as you can get

(and then you see a sea of endless pepes and terfs and realize you've made a terrible mistake and want to go straight back home, or maybe see what ivan stang is doing these days)

@duske yikes, glad you are ok!

Huh. I don't have bladder cancer. Neato mosquito!

(I didn't really suspect I did, but I have been having some discomfort in the pissular region recently and it's good to know that Scary Cytology is off the table.)

@mawr I would be so happy to see a revival of zine/neat-things-via-snail-mail culture!

Huh. In a good and productive-enough mood today, but feeling so VULNERABLE, like I have a moist sheet of wax paper as my sole emotional armor. EVERYTHING is getting to me-- songs on the cafe PA, pictures of animals, the news, random memories...

It's fine and not particularly painful, it's just... pokey and weird.
