Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@Leucrotta Counterpoint to myself, though: I can't help thinking, "Yanno, Maria Bamford ALSO had severe manic episodes. And she never, ever, not in the absolute depths of disordered thought, praised Hitler. She told her friends she had urgent messages for the Pope, sure, but never HATED a damn soul in her delusions."

So yeah, fuck Kanye even if he IS psychiatrically unwell, 'cause... I dunno, I think even when you're lierally delusional those delusions are pulled from things already in your head.

@Leucrotta I'm so torn about that one. Because what you're saying ABSOLUTELY fits the profile of "egomaniac celebrity who just figured out conservatives offer a great feeding trough for narcissistic supply," no disputing that.

But Kanye's mental health has always sounded... wobbly over the years, even beyond the fact I don't believe you can be a celebrity of that tier and *be* psychologically healthy.

Keep in mind, my main hobby 20 years ago was "crackpots" and fringe politics and science. His anti-semitic prattle, dangerous though it is, is starting to sound a LOT like folks like the Time Cube Guy and Francis E. Dec, where you really can't forgive them for the ugliness and virulence of their speech, but you still gotta wonder how much is belief and how much is schizophrenia or mania symptom. D:

The only way we'll ever find out is if Kanye gets *treated* and I think we all know the reasons that ain't gonna happen. I think Paddy Chayefsky made, like, six films about it. D:

@Leucrotta Yeah, I have a rant stored up about the difference between "forgiveness" and "the moral equivalent of money laundering," the latter ofc being the one actually practiced by most modern Christianity. :X

@Leucrotta I am absolutely fucking livid over the whole thing and how it's being covered. If it's the Cosmic Author writing satire, it's the bleakest Kurt Vonnegut stuff and it's "funny" like a stomach pump. I am intensely disturbed by what is at *best* a complete psychiatric breakdown being cheered on by a neo-fascist movement whose stated and practices beliefs are increasingly coming to resemble a manic episode. If anything, I want to smack Me From A Decade Ago for not taking these things more seriously.

@trouffee QUALITY MANAGEMENT

@Phorm Oh! Right! Out on the karate rink!

@Austin_Dern Now I am struck by a great desire to play an anthropomorphic capybara in some kind of combat MMO. Fruit-bath themed skill tree NOT optional.

@Chip_Unicorn Hi!

@Phorm @xinjinmeng I mean, *yes please*, but... not from the likes of them.

@spottyfox I have known for about 30 years, since my tenure in my HS marching band, that there is one, but I could not tell you what it is or what it's for if my life depended on it.

@Phorm Jason Messina is one of the most underrated Youtube creators. #LesbianGarmentBags

@monsterblue So when Artemus comes up to our screen door and plays Squeakypawbs on it, she's really singing "Everybody! Everybody!"in Welsh</homestar>?

@LexYeen I want to say something reflexively snarky and self-deprecating, but honestly, Peg and I pretty much live our character kayfabe 24/7 and it's an absolutely vital relationship tool that really helps keep us both sane.

I feel like one of postfurry's enduring lessons that I brought into real life is that you can put ANYTHING AT ALL THAT YOU LIKE in your gender and species boxes, maintain it in your social relations with people who Get It, and it JUST DOESN'T HURT ANYTHING.

I'm not a tiger but I play one in real life-- because RL is really just another game that humans play, and it never really bore that much resemblance to physical reality to start with.

@xinjinmeng @anthracite Why not? I love honey in coffee.

@mawr It's a pleasure, believe me. I talk to this SOB like maybe twice a month. I really hope down in my heart he hates me and fears me just a little bit.

(Among other things, I make sure he knows about it every time a queer friend of mine purchase a firearm. No threats, no imprecations, just another "friendly reminder.")

@xinjinmeng @anthracite She's also often covered in bees, does that help?

@mawr In that spirit, this morning I left the Stedfast Baptist Church in Fort Worth a lengthy reply to their answering machine message (a "friendly reminder" of Lev. 20:13) telling them they're responsible for things like the Colorado shooting-- and that the ONLY reason I wasn't renting a car to cause an ugly scene at today's services is that I woke up to the breast of my transgender wife in my mouth and was reminded I have much better things to do.

I made a point of going into levels of anatomical detail that would make King Solomon himself blush. :D
