Waugh, too much of everything this morning, even too much happiness (in the form of a mostly-naked dragon lady insisting on sitting in my lap while I finished the last of my employee evaluations).
I really can't claim my mood or condition is bad this morning. I've had a pretty damn good weekend, really, including a lot of progress on Getting Over Myself and resuming social functions.
Can this constant information overload end please, though? I have an ancient wooden brain, slow to process.

Fuckin christ. Once again, my gratitude to the far-right, for reminding me why I should continue to put up with the follies of the far-left.
First a round of TERF, then a round of white nationalist. I wasn't even looking for either (except, you know, by being on Reddit and Twitter at all), but I can't pretend I didn't richly enjoy both punch-ups.
Thanks again, enemies, for the reassurance it really is that simple, you really are just bad.😡
current mood: watching ted danson weep like a baby and LOVING IT #GoodPlace #Cero? #Cero? #Cero?
@irisjaycomics Peggy ordered me to ask you about the "Chimbley Sweep." She apologizes in advance. I'm just scared. 🙀

I found this image on a shitty mind-control fetish forum, but my headcanon for it is that it's Princess Caroline's apotheosis into the Galactic All-Manager we knew she was meant to be. https://awoo.space/media/etgtYb7PS0a20uSqg1U

Well, that was a little wave of fear and despair! Yeah, my mind went to apocalyptica for a bit. It's weird getting that little moment where you remember, "Oh, yeah, this is something really bad that might actually happen. Right here. Because history does that sometimes."
I think we'll be okay, and my own anxiety is under control (thanks, THC), but... man, this is just unreal. Pure Cat's Cradle absurdist shit. Vonnegut wasn't supposed to be THIS right.
Now I want to commission art of Hladolet converting people into paperclip-making drones for the Tethys Light Manufacturing Concern And Very Friendly Mammal Hostel. =^__________^=

"So, what fursonas have you been through?" (repost from Birdland)
Jesus fucking Christ. (Er, that's just an expletive, not a fursona.)
...supervillain-obsessed latex henchrat, haunted costume mimic, Bowie-esque alien mink bounty hunter, exiled teenaged rubberjackal priestess, Saturnian hypnosquid, adorkable psionic Galaxy High School donkey girl, 2C-B elemental horse-naga made from pink enamel, Premature Anti-Chrysalis changeling, 7-headed apocalypse jackal hypnobeast.
That's most of 'em.

today's incredibly dorky media pondering
I wonder how many shows so far have done a "Fake SNL Intro" sketch? You know, where they replace their usual opening credits scene with a big overblown jazz-driven intro like 1980s Saturday Night Live?
So far I've counted The State, Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, and Comedy Bang! Bang!, but there have got to be more. It feels like it was kind of a badge of honor OOAT, to tell the world "we're not ALL MAINSTREAM AND DESPERATE TO BE LIKED like _those_ guys."
(Let's also say for the sake of argument, for fear of biasing the poll base, that transmen and butch women are also genially encouraged to join in on these Manly Action Games as equals. As a far, far too generous concession to the opposition, let's even add a "but only if they can beat an XY member of the Manly Action Games Club in the sport of their choosing.")
Taking a quick survey for a "friendly discussion" elsewhere:
If modern masculinity remained exactly the same, except that it totally abandoned the elements of degradation of women, bullying, abuse, and exploitation...
...and focused on, say, Doing Bold Physical Things Outdoors With Other Manly People, Cultivating A Masterful And Gentlemanly Mustachio, and Pugilizing Consensually With Other Likely Young Lads...
...would you be okay with it and drop all grievances against it?
more cartomania
I wonder how much it would cost to get some of these Gaff Cards professionally reprinted with Magic: The Gathering backs? (attn: @KoBunny *evil grin* )
