📟🐱 GlitchCat Sunday Post, 18 December 2022
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!
Only kind of here but hello
Obligatory mention of our kpop comm on dw: http://paradisediner.dreamwidth.org/ for a slower paced experience
i mean 9 times out of ten for me personally its a sign i should send a follow request to user number three but thats beside the point
On Sunday's I always try to spend some extra time studying classical Chinese (and drinking tea) So for today #DecRecs I am going to rec Pleco the Mandarin/English dictionary app!
The basic version of this is free so if you have any interest in learning Mandarin I highly rec it!
I like that it has so many input options, you can write the character, use pinyin, look things up by radicals, and type in English words!
(Edited for grammar)
#DecRecs set in the kind of ambiguous modern au land where you can definitely get away with not knowing canon lol
Anyway v delightful fic, essentially F/F M/M solidarity in the form of a v platonic threesome in which Jungkook gets pegged. And then finally texts his crush!

Summary:
“Well, everyone knows he has a huge dick, and I’ve never been able to take more than a couple of fingers. I’m just… not confident.”
And it seemed totally natural, even obvious, for Jihyo to say in a brisk and businesslike voice, “Well, we can fix that.”

re: gods making dubious choices because mesopotamian gods are not moral figures
Anyway then there's a long bit where Belet-ili and the gods create mankind (mostly out of clay, as was the norm at the time) and the gods keep treating the humans like shit until Enki feels bad and suggests the they try striking too and we get an escalating series of events that ends in the great Mesopotamian flood (which you might be familiar with as Noah's ark)
The surviving version of this myth is speculated to have been written by Enki stans btw
