📟🐱 GlitchCat Sunday Post (19 September 2021)
§ Instance News
• We’ve set up a new fork for the instance, derived from GlitchSoc, at ‹ https://github.com/kibicat/mastodon ›. For now, the name of the fork (subject to change) is “Kibicat Mastodon”. We haven’t committed much code yet, but there has been a great deal of discussion about goals and direction via the GitHub Discussions pane.
Kibicat Mastodon is not presently looking for individual outside contributors, but we ⁜are⁜ interested in working with other communities / instances to meet mutual goals. Contact us (by which I mean me) if you’re interested in collaborating with us!
• A bunch of new cat‐ and pokémon‐themed emoji have been added to the instance! Use them to your heart’s content 
.
• The server was upgraded for the first time without any issue 🎉!
• It is not feasible for me to personally vet every instance that GlitchCat federates with, but I have begun doing so for the larger instances and applied mutes or blocks as appropriate. I’m hoping to push some changes to the fork soon which will make future bookkeeping simpler in this respect.
§ From Our Members
• I published another episode of my pokémon fanfiction, can you believe it?! You can read it from the beginning here: ‹ https://archiveofourown.org/series/2377408 ›.
[Accomplish something cool? Tell me about it and I’ll be happy to give it a feature!]
@sunflower_avenue which thing about ‘single mother’ are you trying to avoid?
@MicroSFF i’m with the hunter here — words are powerful but they wont make me dinner
@Juju i think if its going to be five ‘give me five to wrap up’ is preferable but 0-3 are is acceptable variance for ‘gimme a minute’
@pamela are they advertising to ten year olds?
An international student asked me, essentially, what school districts and bussing is (because it had come up in conversation that the school i went to was technically outside city limits) and let me tell you, that is not an easy question to answer concisely
@KittyUnpretty i’m glad spite drives you towards such good causes?
food
@hafnia@weirder.earth yeah it was almost plausible!
food
@hafnia@weirder.earth briefly misparsed what the and was connecting and was very confused about the fact that we were putting coffee on tacos now
@Lady i have def called people silly
But i do agree that putting a period after is kinda weird
covid (neg, as always lol)
On the one hand, I have a lot of sympathy for people who have allergies/asthma/other weird sinus stuff going on
On the other, I kinda believe *none* of us should be attending classes in person
And on the third, it is extremely difficult to concentrate on classwork when you have 'multiple hundred cases on campus per week' and 'person with an ill fitting mask coughing nonstop two rows behind you' in your head at the same time
Shoutout to my sister's autocorrect for producing the sentence "are thou not dead at 0º Kelvin"

Article on Long Covid that connects it to ME/CFS:
"The condition that’s been most closely linked to long Covid is ME/CFS [...] a post-viral neurological condition, primarily characterised by chronic, debilitating fatigue and post-exertional malaise (PEM) – where symptoms worsen after even minor physical or mental exertion. An estimated 75 to 80% of people with ME are women, and the condition has long been under-researched, stigmatised, and poorly understood."
