The GlitchCat #SundayPost offers news and updates from our corner of the fediverse to yours.

Short post today because I’m exhausted after a long weekend with family, but I wanted to at least get the holidays and observances in.

§ Instance News :—

• @aescling finally played Breath of the Wild meaning the amount of Zeldaposting on this server may increase. Or it may not, because they really only played it to critique Sonic 🤷🏻‍♀️.

§ Holidays and Observances :—

• 🪨 November 28 is Thingstaken, a counter·observance to American Thanksgiving. It is also co·incidentally Cyber Monday, making it a good time to reread The Cybre Manifesto, I guess, or not, I’m not a cop.

• 👿 November 29 is Witchnight, a day marking the beginning of the darkest time of year, in which vampires, demons, ⁊·c are said to thrive. This is a great opportunity to put up your winter lights, tell spooky stories, and generally wish the fall a fond goodbye.

• 🌐 November 30 is N·30, a day of remembrance for those dead or debilitated as a consequence of globalist economic policy. N·30 commemorates the 1999 Battle of Seattle; for background and further context, Kit Oldham did a history of the event in two parts (Part Ⅰ; Part ⅠⅠ).

• 🩸 December 01 is Aidsmas, World Aids Day, or Day With(out) Art, a day of remembrance for those dead or debilitated as a result of the aids pandemic. As December 01 is also the day that the covid “Patient Zero” first began experiencing symptoms, I also endorse using this day to think about globalist responses to pandemic and illness in general.

• ⛓ December 04 is Barbiemas, a day of disguise and secret‐revealing, because Halloween and Witchnight evidently just weren’t enough for me. The name of this day comes from the Catholic St Barbara, but she wasn’t a real person so it might as well be the plastic doll instead. This is a great time to be unflinchingly honest with your loved ones before we hit Yuletide and you might be expected to spend all kinds of time with them. It’s also a great day for DnD campaigns.

anyway, if you were wondering, the calendar is solar with three tierces of three months of four weeks of ten days (or two half-weeks of five days?), plus an intercalary (half-)week of five to six days, with the new year on the autumnal solstice

the problem is that there is really very little justification for an alternative calendaring system without accompanying liturgy

the current KIBI calendar is Gregorian but i developed an alternate calendar for Zelda fanfiction which i am strongly considering just switching to because the Gregorian calendar tires me

ah, we have entered the time of year where i can no longer remember my age

try girls with trauma instead

fandom loves to write boys with trauma, boys with trauma isn't even interesting they don't know how to process emotion

Fuck under thumb
and hold firmly

catholic subtooting of protestant christmas propaganda

god didn't choose mary to be the mother of jesus, god MADE mary to be the mother of jesus

“untransitioned”

« As Quinlan Miller points out, when dealing with historical materials it is worth noting that any person may be untransitioned. » oh, only with historical materials?

levinas may have been right about faces but that doesn't mean i have to like it

« "In the same way that women are demanding equal opportunity in fields of legitimate endeavor, a similar number of determined women are forcing their way into the world of major crimes." »

« Feminist documentary filmmaker and film scholar Alexandra Juhasz claims that film and patriarchy share the project of objectifying women, making victims of them, while video and feminism produce women as subjects. »

“if i could flirt with girls would i be writing fanfiction?!”

this author is not good at flirting

« he gazes at her with such adoration it’s startling » startling… unnerving… offensive…

and trying to get more writing done

going to be spending the next couple of days with family
