Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@KitRedgrave I like how it doesnt so much convey any specific ideas, so much as convey knowing a lot of other people have had ideas, and how impressed you should be.

There is a nonzero chance this guys ideas are also valuable, but (a) this chart does nothing to establish that and (b) all the years i spent as a transcriptionist for the boston financial sector do NOTHING to persuade me that a compleye crackpot couldnt establish a very strong reputation in that world.

@hystericempress The desire to break out some mindmapping software--or MS Paint--and toss off a parody of it is just overwhelming tbh...

A guy called me an imbecile on Twitter. This guy is apparently a noted and respected economist. It was a one-word tweet in reply to me questioning whether a guy who's been on TV with Ron Paul can really be called "non-political."

The same guy is responsible for the diagram below. It is probably deeply profound if you have drunk the financier kool-aid, but I'm still giggling over it. It looks just like the webpage of every frantic webkook who's ever tried to persuade me I'm an idiot for not believing Space Reptiles control the US government.

(I know space reptiles and they've all got better things to do.)

FAT TONYISM?!?

Current mood: passing desire to learn Java, purely to implement ENORMOUS FUCKING TIGER as a character mod in Slay The Spire.

@anthracite Wow, that guy's a jerkass.

@anthracite *immediately beelines for your Reddit comments* :D

@Balinares Yeah, I felt a little empty after the last episode. I really wish more than ever that Tuca and Bertie had survived...

@hystericempress sub = good, boy = BEST but then you already knew that

@kelseyhusky I know, I know, I genuinely kinda feel terrible about it, and DEFINITELY do not expect much sympathy given the winter I've heard you've had up north... but it's actually been a pretty rough month and I'll take whatever I can get right now. :(

I genuinely hope you folks get back into spring mode ASAP... n.n;; Seattle winters are rough, I haven't forgotten. Make sure you're getting enough Vitamin D.

In short, this is a really frustrating city to try to be depressive and self-hatey in. I'm expecting a goddamn parade to come along any minute. -__-

My morning:

"Piece of shit. Stupid piece of shit. You're a real stupid piece... Kitty! Hi, kitty! ...of shit. But I know I'm a piece of... oh wow, look at that sun... shit. That at least makes me better than... Dragon! Hi, Dragon! Time to snuggle the dragon...all the pieces of shit that don't know they're pieces... ooh, pretty nerd boy at the cafe... of... of... what was I saying? Huh, coffee's up."

@Oneironott Except it dawned on me this morning, partly thanks to your toot, that if I can actually do my newly 40-hour job and not go crazy... I'll finally be able to afford that fursuit I've always wanted. So maybe you weren't wrong, ott. And just for you, I'm gonna behave accordingly today. :D <3

@Oneironott That's the sweetest thing anybody's said to me all month. *hug*

@Oneironott sorry, can't, still got scars from the last time

I think for our next cultural shenanigan, we should get together and try to convince a bunch of Zoomers to adopt hexadecimal as "woke."

Alternatively, we should get together and try to convince a bunch of Boomers that a bunch of Zoomers has adopted hexadecimal as "woke."

I'm just inordinately amused by the last line.

So there's this song by Joanna Newsom that reminds me of one of my estranged sisters. And it is POISON. It hurts to hear, and it keeps popping up in unfortunate places--a head shop PA, most recently.

And then it gets stuck. For days on end, all I can hear is that treacly-sad harpsichord line and Newsom singing "Na na-na-na" in that weird longing screech.

And it drove me a new technique for defanging earworms. I filked it into a reference to a Youtube Poop*. Now it's a song about renting a horse, every half hour of every day, it just makes me giggle, and it has lost all power over me.

@001zlnv That's a good pony. n.n;

@JulieSqveakaroo Oh, hon, I know I'm not the first to tell ya this--I am EXACTLY the same way. And honestly, I never get ashamed or self-conscious about it anymore. 'Cause one major difference between the two I've noticed: toon images are disproportionately likely to have figures who are actively and obviously having FUN.

The aesthetics of most mainstream porn just completely turn me off. Everyone looks slightly bored and slightly coated in that weird filmy Adult Bookstore funk that makes the back two rows of Spencer Gifts smell terrible. >___< And everything is just kinda patriarchal and emotionally detached and ugly.

If I want to find a pretty real human boy covered in rubber, I have maybe 3-4 good sources for images. Compare that to about 10 seconds to Pretty Rubberized Furry Boi on FA.

NTM, with folks like you and me, there's just so much good stuff that you can't really _do_ on film, even if you have the brightest queer-friendliest aesthetics, unless you also have access to an ILM engineer...
