re: unicode
@narylis specifically i think gaming and “metaverse” tech companies have been using it to identify themselves as “new tech” or “new social” in contrast to the traditional blue of facebook/twitter/tumblr/“old fashioned” social spaces
then everybody wanted in on that association and it has spread from there
re: unicode
@narylis « Historically, purple has been underutilized commercially, treated as more of a supplemental, niche color. Though that’s changing, as technology companies have embraced it to stand out from the crowd — with Roku and Twitch both using it in their branding and logos. The growing trend left Brenda Milis, Adobe Stock’s principal of consumer and creative insights, seeing purple — everywhere. “A lot of brands began releasing purple app icons. It developed into a trend as a very blue-inflected purple — often referred to as 'blurple' — began to dominate online spaces through 2021. There's a warmth to it, so it offers a sense of comfort. It's not hitting you over the head with a strident tone.” » https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2022/02/16/2022-pantone-color-of-the-year-is-brand-new-hue-for-metaverse-age

i mean it's better than the time when it was the red styling with the purple logo and clashed horribly but
@KitRedgrave it's called xml
@hazel why does this poll only have one option (not counting spiderman)
@gaditb that's one of the reasons why i rec it; in addition to being about the racial and class politics of transgender identity it also has some very good words about how to do ethnography with marginalized queer communities to which you do not belong
@gaditb if you're going to cover the fediverse and you haven't read imagining transgender by david valentine go do that first

I think the more relevant update for @Satsuma is that the tangerine is back in its normal timezone

The GlitchCat #SundayPost offers news and updates from our corner of the fediverse to yours.
§ From Our Users :—
• @Satsuma and @Lady have beeen watching ‘Guardian’ (cdrama) at a very slow pace of one episode a week (in a discord group with some other folks).
• @Lady also published a pornographic pokémon oneshot, but I’m not sharing the link to that here so you’ll have to be enterprising if you really want to read it.
• @Lady also also has been working more on her indie website publishing workflows but there haven’t been any real releases of anything yet.
@wikipediahaiku no don't do it
it's a trap
