#DecRecs Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence by Judith Butler
great resource on how to write good #fanfiction
description of symptoms, question
@cakefordogs in a cfs context you’re most likely to see this classed under post-exertional malaise

#Ao3TagOfTheDay This Whole Thing Smacks Of Gender
#DecRecs another Star Trek fic, though a different branch of the franchise! Lunch takes two characters we know very little about in the AOS universe & fleshes them out in a nice exploration of the difficulties of cross-cultural friendships. can pretty easily be read as generic space college scifi, if you're so inclined

One of my all-time favorite fanvids!
Scott and Hoffman are doing comparative tasting here where they're comparing multiple drinks side by side which i personally mostly don't do but is pretty common -- eg beer flights are a style of comparative tasting
with tea you get an additional factor in that teas can be steeped multiple times, so you're more likely to see tea tastings where you drink the same leaves through multiple steepings but, unless you have a much more complicated setup than i do, that basically means that you can't go back and try the thing you tasted first a second time to see how it compares
also a bonus non-fic rec, if you're curious about tastings (either alcohol, tea, coffee, etc) this video where James Hoffman introduces Tom Scott to coffee is a very solid introduction to the basic approaches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-iNAyu-ejo
#DecRecs: this is tagged alternate universe but its more of a different first meeting style canon divergence — everyone still has the same skillsets and life circumstances you’d expect for something set shortly pre-canon (which is to say, Eliot doesn’t have Stockholm syndrome, he’s just unexpectedly charmed by the full force of Hardison and Parker’s Hardison and Parker-ness)
If you haven’t watched Leverage, its a show about a bunch of thieves deciding to run ridiculous heists to get back at capitalists on behalf of the people screwed over by capitalism. its a little dated at this point (it ran like 2008-2012) but v fun & one takes ones very nearly canon poly triads where one can them

Summary:
“You got a wrong number, so you went to the park in the middle of the night, found a guy in a pool of blood, and brought him to your apartment,” Eliot says, filling in the blanks. Maybe, he considers, he’s still hallucinating. Or just delirious.
In which Hardison can't resist a stray, Eliot has Stockholm syndrome, and Parker is Parker.
this still hasnt solved the issue of what to call the store we buy milk from lmao

Tiny stores which typically sell some mix of grocery items, snack foods & (occasionally) prepared food times such as sandwiches, often compensating for a smaller selection and slightly higher prices through the convenience factor of their accessible near-residential locations (aka, the place you go when you just need to run out for some milk or a banana) are called:
@maya i'd also be interested in seeing such a writeup, if someone finds one
#DecRecs: a slightly introspective? look at Chihiro’s life after the end of Spirited Away & how her experiences might shape the way she looks at the world. softly domestic 💛

@Draekos i haven’t checked their registration statuses but you might try indiepocalypse.social, dice.camp, or tabletop.social
#DecRecs i've generally been aiming towards the 'low knowledge of canon necessary' side of things with these recs but with this one i can cheerfully assert that it's easy enough to follow without having ever seen Strange New Worlds at all because that's how i read it -- time travel, psychic bonds, and wildly divergent cultural understandings of romance make polyamory negotiations either much simpler or more complicated than they would usually be but everyone manages a charming amount of adult communication in between the usual day to day shenanigans of a starfleet ship

📟🐱 GlitchCat Sunday Post, 04 December 2022
The GlitchCat #SundayPost offers news and updates from our corner of the fediverse to yours.
§ Instance News :—
• A lot of people on this instance have been participating in #DecRecs, a hashtag for recommending whatever you want to recommend in the month of December. I’ve been using it mostly as an excuse to reshare some of my old fanfiction bookmarks, but you can rec anything you like!
§ From Our Users :—
• @Lady had a p·r which was recently merged to GlitchSoc. This is a slightly revised version of code which we’ve been rolling here on GlitchCat for some time; at some point I will need to port over the changes.
§ Holidays and Observances :—
• 🥾 December 05 is Clauseen, the final day of Hallowtide in the KIBI calendar.
• 🧑🎄 December 06 is Clausmas, a·k·a Sinterklaas Day or the Feast of St Nicholas. Basically nothing is known about St Nicholas, and this day epitomizes the KIBI practice of using fictitious or legendary saints’ days to reappropriate Catholic/Christian traditions away from their religious underpinnings (in this case, Christmas; compare St Valentine). In this case, the recentring on 06 December is especially apt, as Saint Nicholas is actually the template from which we got a lot of our (quasi‐secular) Christmas traditions from, e·g Santa Claus. My take? Celebrate Santa on Santa’s day and leave Christmas in the dust.
• December 06 also marks the beginning of Yuletide, a·k·a “the holiday season”.
• 🕊 December 10 is Nobelmas, also known as Alfred Nobel Day or, per the United Nations, Human Rights Day. If ever you wanted a day to celebrate peace on earth and goodwill to men, this is a great day for it.
