that's what they were referring to, but still, flames on the side of my face. she's not THAT different from the incarnations of carmen that were smashing boundaries before kim possible was even conceived in the womb
and of course it is, it's a queer classique. i've said for a while that there are three things gays love (gay men, lesbians, bis, pans, everybody) - cher, glitter, and spreadsheets - but i really could add clue to that list.
speaking of queer icons, there was an episode of a tomb raider "podcast" (sneer quotes as it's only on youtube so it does not qualify for podcast status) about "lara croft as lgbt icon" and i was just thinking we should make a similar podcast episode about carmen as lgbt icon. trouble is we don't have a podcast...
((IRL: so, tomorrow. mental health appointment... Wednesday is the foot clinic appointment... to see if the insoles are helping (hint: they aren't)... may end up in surgery to try and fix the hallax ridgus on my right foot... never had surgery before. I'm all OEM, so far))
((IRL: So, the new mega-tower works... actually, pretty sure it's worked for the last month. Every time I tried booting it, I had the TV on the wrong input. It's nice and fast... Threadripper 3950, 24-core, 48-threads, 3.8GHz with a Titan X video card, 2 1TB M.2s (one is boot drive), about 3.25TB between 4 HDDs. From when Win logo shows t o usable desktop, maybe 5 seconds))
((So... the big secret recently is... my folks got their eviction notice for smoking in the building... so, they have a meeting with the caretaker and HRA in the afternoon... I'll be there (we're in the same building). In their favor... the caretaker had a cop, and went to HRA without talking to the manager, so maybe that might be in their favor... dunno. so, things are up in the air right now.))
((So... the appeal date is the 19th... they'll try for an extension. The main place a friend of theirs is pushing for has a waiting list, and beyond that, the friend is in a 1 bedroom that's about 1/3 smaller than mine... there's no way they could fit in there (and no ceiling light in the living room or bedroom... just a switched outlet in each). I'm expanding the search in the morning to neighboring areas... low income housing, section 8, all that))
((OOC: So, Thanksgiving is canceled, so is Christmas, for this year. Basically, when I'm awake, I'm hunting for more apartments that they can apply at. So far, lots of waiting lists, no headway. The folks are low-income (SSI), but the eviction on the 30th kills everything. Apparently, the building manager has heard from a few residents that the folks are evicted... the three of us keep to ourselves, and have only told a few people what's going on... and, then there's the charges...))
((Question: So, I started taking Zoloft (generic) 2 weeks ago... is it normal while on it, to not have emotional reactions to songs that previously had me bawling?))
