Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

I had a dream that I brought an insanely rare and elaborate card game made for 50+ people to a festival. After I spent hours sorting the cards, someone who already knew all the rules and was much more aggressive than me volunteered to run the game—and they picked the players at random from the crowd, and didn't include me.

Nope, not metaphorical for anything at all. I'm fine I tell you, fine.

@Leucrotta As you can imagine, Rik LOVED it... (I _think_ that's the place they used to drag me through when we lived up there.)

Wow, I'm good. Based entirely on the Eagles, Steely Dan, Elvis Costello, Toto, Paul Simon, and Jackson Browne, I predicted that I'd hear Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out" before I left this cafe.

I was correct.

Not that it's a bad song, really. It just... inhabits a certain atmospheric layer between New Wave and Yacht Rock, and I am a naturalist of such things.

Wow. This is the most annoyingly overproduced business website I have seen... and I do web research in Japan every day.

Proceed at your own risk.

@hummingrain Yeah, she's perfect for the role, too. I didn't even recognize her at first, but I had the same reaction as you when I read the credits. Ernie "Winston Zeddemore" Hudson plays the Corgi King, too! He is also charming as all fuck in this. ^______^

@001zlnv She's SO GOOD IN IT.

Oh, ultra-brief review, because I don't think I ever talked about it:

Infinity Train. Super-good. Horribly underrated. Brilliant, introspective New Weird fantasy cartoon. Awesome nerdy female S1 protagonist. Sensitive male Disney Princess S2 protagonist. Kate Mulgrew as the Platonically Ideal Cat. Watch it, watch it, watch it.

I mean, it's very WHITE of me, I suppose, and I suppose I'm pedestalizing them a bit... but even a hard cold logical look at US demographics is telling me these are probably precisely the people who are gonna save our butts, whether or not we've earned it.

Also, now they're talking about reiki, but hey, nobody's perfect. :>

Two dark-skinned women discussing literature and pacifist social revolution eight inches away from me.

I think I are in hard platonic love, with them and with this city. I wish there were a polite way to kneel before them and swear them my fealty. 😻😻​😻​

@Leucrotta This pretty much matches my experiences with techies, yeah. :) I was always kinda bemused by the original anyhow—'cause what the hell are tigers doin' hunting tiny little mice? Moral: just because you're bigger doesn't mean you're smarter. :)

I've noticed a recent trend among my friends: saying fuck it and declaring that 2020 will be good, expowering, and very very queer EVEN IF WE HAVE TO PUNCH IT INTO SUBMISSION.

Yes. Do this. Don't let them define the boundaries of our reality. Do crazy shit. Rock that boat. We are SO FUCKING CLOSE to a paradigm shift.

And that's how this stuff works. The right wing got where they are by pure stubborn denial of any reality but theirs. We can do it too, but smarter and more compassionate. (And with less Russian/corporate funding, but c'est la guerre, sweeties.)

I don't know if I can follow you. I am real fuckin' tired, and if any of you have to stay behind in the infirmary with me because you're real fuckin' tired, you do what you need to and take care of yourself. But if you can infuse yourself with Irrepressible Queer Energy this year and storm the castle... DO IT.

I'll keep grinding away on Parallax. I'm scared it'll be lost in all the chaos—or just ain't that good to start with—but I reallly don't know what else to do at this point. And that's kinda empowering, too. I'm gonna make the weirdest fucking comic I can, and never ever ever apologize for how little the heroes resemble what the rest of the world wants us to be.

I am so disappointed that none of my photos of tonight's full moon came out. I was so looking forward to taunting the canids here with them. Had my earplugs at the ready, my book of $350 fine slips, and everything... =(>).(<)=

Very friendly subtoot:

Just when I'm starting to feel like I'm having a shitty day, someone very dear to me comes along asking for Urgent Spy Jazz Help with their Urgent Spy Jazz Problem and I feel like a very important person again. So flattered that you thought of me, sis. ​❤️​

@hystericempress If it's any consolation, the author of that article is getting absolutely pilloried on Twitter and it's only the very worst of the Steely-Eyed And Very Serious Young Queer Cadre that's supporting him. Going after Noelle was NOT a popular move, especially among the She-Ra fanbase...

I needed this a lot. It's nothin' scary—it's literally just a really nice guy from Iran saying he loves Americans and so do most of his friends, and like, half the world saying we love him back. https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/elxa0j/22yearold_iranian_here_just_wanted_to_share_my/

Thank you all for the responses on the She-Ra thread. I say this stuff out loud partly because I trust y'all to correct me if I've tilted too far in the opposite direction. <3

Now, more importantly, about this EAT ALL HUMANS holiday Mx. Tiger proposed...
