Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@Balina I do have kind of a hedge-bet with myself— that the pure *irony* of me being a lifelong hypochondriac is gonna make me outlive you all. :>

And even if that's not true... heh... ever seen Videodrome? There are so many bad RP logs of mine out there that even a primitive AI could simulate me. I could Brian O'Blivion this shit for decades. >:D

(Also, if it's any further consolation, this has been happening to me since I was 15. :) It's just unusually bad this week. And it's reminding me that I'm getting FUCKIN OLD and can only have so much time left...)

Been having heart flutters all day long and been unusually tired. I strongly suspect it's nothing major, probably my vagus nerve doing something funky because my allergies have been bad all day.

But cardiac issues have been a big anxiety trigger for me, ever since my dad's 2nd heart attack took him out when I was age 12. So I'm a little fretful. Just... if I keel over, it's been fun and I wish you all joyful lives, okay?

(I'm probably not gonna keel over. :) )

@anthracite That's a relief! It would be quite a faux pas to send a blood-signed author's copy of the Necronomicon to Ben's new tenants. (Best case scenario: Alfie The Cat gets a hold of it.)

@mawr To be fair, this cafe has a fairy-themed decor, and those folks are notoriously high-speed gossips...

Bwaugh.

Actually, I should be in good shape. Had a great experience Tuesday. A friend of Peg's brought an entourage down to celebrate a personal gender mileston. We all hung out, saw the park, and ate pastries. This was someone I was SURE didn't like me, but we hit it off great and had a good conversation. Great stuff.

But I'm still... off. Frustrated with the narrative of my life, behind on work and Parallax, livid and exhausted about politics, bored with social media, just... off.

@mawr See, I knew this was coming. The barista at our local cafe announced "gender is a dead meme" last week while explaining their bathroom system to a customer. And as we all know, as New Orleans cafes go, so goes the world...

@hystericempress Vectron is unpenetrated! Praise Vectron!

(FWIW, Robby here is kidding. He _is_ everything he's ranting about in this video. And yet, there have been times lately...)

@anthracite They probably mean my alter ego. I'm glad they're finally giving Rez the deference she deserves.

@JulieSqveakaroo i am so trying this...

@chimerror I am officially bored with people inventing new linguistic prescriptions and announcing them from their pulpits. I have so many Correct Queer Terminology bulletins piled up unread on my desk I'm going to start using them for kindling.

The cafe played Led Zeppelin, "When the Levee Breaks" over the loudspeaker. About six people shot the DIRTIEST look at the ceiling. This is apparently not a popular song here for some mysterious reason. O:(

@hystericempress Once again you are a woman after mine own heart. <3 I have a very similar rant about beans in chili. I _prefer_ my alfredo with just cheese and butter, and I _prefer_ my chili without beans, but assigning "validity" to any food that is not actively toxic or inedible is ridiculous. I condemn everybody who's ever complained about food authenticity to live off of budae jjigae for the rest of their blinkered lives.
