Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Though a Redditor made an interesting point: this might be the end of the cast-signing tradition. Still, I think I'd rather have 3D printed custom medical implements that look like alien bioarmor, thanks.

Imagine what seeing this is like for someone who still remembers a time before the 2-liter soda bottle was invented. This is not just fucking cyberpunk, it's... actually pretty aesthetic.

@mawr Now I kind of wonder if what we're seeing is a Grand Pen Adventure, a la Skinny Legs and All... (https://bit.ly/2W2RKS3 - spoiler alert obvs)

Godspeed, Shitty Disposable Pen! I hope your mission is a holy one!

@mawr According to my sources, both Eris and Antler Mom are denying involvement. Make of that what you will.

@zx3 *blinkblink* That _is_ really good.

Huh. "Pictures of You" is up on Peg's mp3 player.

There was a five-year period of my life where that song would break me completely. I would have had to leave the room. Today, it's just another song, and that feels really good.

Second girlfriend, basically. She hung out with a bunch of goth-pagans out in the suburbs of Cleveland. (If any of you recognize the name Michelle Balinger or House Kheperu, yes _those_ pagans...) They never liked me, but I ended up at a lot of their parties.

That was the song playing the morning after one of them, as I lay sprawled there next to my ex, who we'll just call Dreamsnake, and pondered how it was probably the last time I would ever be next to her.

It was. And that's completely and utterly okay with me. I am head over heels for the dragoness, and meanwhile Dreamsnake moved to Texas with some marine and went Full Libertarian. Like, she was quoting "sovereign citizen" bullshit at me last time we talked, and lecturing me about how the basic principle of American democracy is "winner takes all."

It feels so good to look back down that road and never want to travel it again.

@Thaminga Sympathies. *hug*

@Thaminga I hate to say it, but how... _young_ of her. 🙄​

I keep thinking about putting together a playlist that captures my basic Feels about what I was trying to accomplish with the whole postfurry thing.

I have a couple songs already, but it'd be much more interesting to hear what you'd include.

(FWIW, it's this song that got me thinking about it again, that beautiful a capella climax towards the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlvA1GMBzW8)

@coyohti Oh, that's right, I was supposed to send you tigress refs! Been procrastinating b/c there's one particular image of her buried deep in Peg's archives that I'd like to dig up...

Okay, what did Contrapoints do?

Note that I don't want _that_ much information about it nor do I promise to care.

This is just, you know, the same sort of morbid curiosity that strikes when one flips channels and watches 15 seconds of Jerry Springer. :)

start a caravan of disgruntled liberals driving through the south planting kudzu seeds everywhere they go until trump is impeached

fine i ate your fucking budgie

@Leucrotta "Trumpet melodiously at first, but if he still obstacles your passage then tootle him with vigor."

So I was telling Peg about dinner at Din Tai Fung with @Valerie_Elysee last night, and I ended on a brief taxonomic lecture about "dumplings, dumples, and dumplones-- or as you would know them, 'boss dumples.'"

And then it occurred to me that no, large dumplings wouldn't really deserve the name "boss" dumples... since I've never seen one that regenerates into a new form after you eat it. (Well, except for-- you know-- the usual way. But that's not very impressive! 🙄​)

So then I thought of @mmsword and wondered exactly how long it'll be until the molecular gastronomy folks fix that for us, and provide the world's first polymorphous self-reincarnating dumpling...

@LeDiva
