@halcy i mean its your birthday so i think you’re the one who gets to decide how that works!
@thedeadparrot oh no thats the worst time for an outage!!
@thedeadparrot so glad i found time to catch up on my fic subs earlier today…i was like a week behind if i’d missed another bc of an outage i never would have caught up 😆
@AspiringLuddite @Juju i’m a big fan of one pot dinners! my situation right now is pretty much the reverse — four burner gas stove with a decent oven but about 18 inches of counter space total so basically no room for any kind of appliance whatsoever. Even my bread gets toasted in a pan right now 😂
but that ones small enough that i could find somewhere in our tiny cupboards to tuck it away, and it’d nice to have a cooking option i can walk away from
@maya replies yes, boosts only by technicality — i have them disabled on a per account basis for maybe 90% of people i follow.
@Juju thanks for the link!!! i’ll probably buy one for my teensy apartment kitchen
@Juju oooh nice! whats the brand name?
@Juju its so tiny!
Just browsing the Fandom Calendar https://fandomcalendar.dreamwidth.org/ and I see that Candyhearts needs pinch hitters for some unmatched fic requests. Check them out, maybe make someone's day - I can't because I'm not in many fandoms these days and the series/film/game names alone leave me clueless.
Anyway, check 'em out if you're willing to fill, but also check out the calendar for other fun events coming up. https://candyheartsex.dreamwidth.org/3581.html https://candyheartsex.dreamwidth.org/3635.html
@rowyn @vicorva @skysailor @terrana itd have to be a pretty seriously popular blog for that to work though, right? like, been building up a following for a while and all that not ‘oh just start a blog and you’ll get published’
idk the whole thing strikes me as incredibly odd
📟🐱 GlitchCat Sunday Post, 08 January 2023
The GlitchCat #SundayPost offers news and updates from our corner of the fediverse to yours.
§ Current Events :—
• cybre.space has switched into read‐only mode, as was the plan for the new year.
• The American Dialect Society has announced the 2022 Word of the Year, and it’s -ussy. A·D·L writes “now everything is either a cat or a cavity”, but of course we all know which of those is the affix’s usual referent.
§ From Our Users :—
• @aescling is playing Pokémon Scarlet and enjoying the poképussy so far (Meowscarada).
• @Satsuma is now in a different time zone, so expect favs from them to come a few hours offset from when they were before.
§ Holidays and Observances :—
• ⏳ 11 January is Carmentalia. This is a Roman festival we know very little about, except that it was celebrated on two dates (the other was 15 January), observed primarily by women (Carmenta was a goddess of childbirth and prophecy), and invoked Postvorta and Antevorta, aspects of Carmenta pertaining to looking back (into the past) and forward (into the future). As a date near the new year, it’s a good opportunity for reflection and resolution; I really couldn’t care less otherwise regarding the original Roman meaning.
I wrote up a brief summary of today's #OTW board meeting: https://runpunkrun.dreamwidth.org/972062.html
The OTW Board meeting starts in TEN MINUTES and they take questions! Come join me in the cheap seats: https://discord.gg/e7StHgTA
RMT calls out government for "blocking" rail resolution ahead of strikes starting tomorrow
40,000 workers on Network Rail and 14 train operating companies will take action on 3,4,6 and 7 this week, shutting down most rail services across the country.
Despite the union's best efforts over the Christmas period, rail employers have not arranged any formal negotiations with RMT to resolve the dispute.
