(hope you all find the next week and change relatively stress‐free)

i promise you, the jews already know today is hanukkah

mastodon has hit the mainstream; we now have christians reminding each other of the existence of jewish people

would you believe that i do not actually currently have a “lesbian vibes” playlist

when you teach your kids
to do what they love
only on nights and weekends

​

when they say “charizard grinding” but mean it in the not horny way

we don’t shoot video like straight people and we oughtn’t write like them either

there’s plenty of #lesbian content but like zero actually lesbian content these days

there was one which was pretty solidly lesbian in its aesthetic but then it reminded me of my ex and that kind of killed the mood

look i’m not saying that literature is boringly straight and male, i’m just saying that as a lesbian who reads large amounts of speculative fiction on the reg, including some gay shit, i’ve yet to read anything contemporary outside of fanfic which has even remotely turned me on

does putting “she’s not wearing any underwear” in the image description make the resulting image #explicit?

i’m not a Zelda fan (positive), i’m a Zelda fan (perverse)

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

§ Current Events :—

• Twitter has started banning journalists as well as anybody who ever links to another website, so lots of people are now saying “maybe this place isn’t great” and uh, leaving lmao. Some of them are coming here. Be nice; enforce boundaries.

• Some publication reporting on this misheard some details (I can only imagine they were communicating over the phone) and interpreted “the Join Mastodon account, run by the person who made Mastodon” as “John Mastodon’s account, the maker of Mastodon” (this post has a screenshot), so anyway that’s a meme. I expect it to be up there with Lance Ulanoff/William Shatner RPF in popularity for the forseeable future.

§ Instance News :—

• We’ve done some re·organizing of our emojice; the blobcat emojos now all start with blobcat_ instead of no underscore; satsuma is now catsuma and filed under “Cats”; the most recent dragn emojim have been added. All the old shortcodes still work; they’re just not listed in the emoji picker or suggestions anymore.

§ From Our Users :—

• @Lady has been working on some improvements to her shrine-xslt static site generator in the hopes of maybe one day using it to build an e·zine. More about this in the coming weeks, maybe.

§ Holidays and Observances :—

• 🌌 21 December is Longest Night, a·k·a the Winter Solstice. Get cosy, tell ghost stories, and drink warm beverages!

it has a number in the middle and the only way i can type numbers on a tenkeyless keyboard is by holding option and shift at the same time

the password to my laptop was designed to be very easy to type but then i changed keyboard layouts and now it is very difficult but i’m to lazy to fix it

they really will just publish anyone who knows a guy or did a thing

new york times why are you publishing an op-ed from the U.S. trade representative in the Trump administration
