Strangers are not going to poison your kids at Halloween. This tweet is a variation on a 70s urban legend. It has never happened. I don't mean "it'd be like being hit by lightning", because getting hit by lightning actually happens and THIS DOESN'T.

§ Instance News
• No major updates! Everything seems to be running smoothly!
§ From Our Members
• @Satsuma created caramels! You can see pictures here: ‹ https://glitch.cat.family/@Satsuma/106994905207340823 ›.
• In the process of re·organizing/consolidating my internet presence, I wrote an XSLT ‹ https://github.com/marrus-sh/u2764/blob/master/Atom.xslt › which can be used to generate index pages like ‹ https://www.u2764.com/XRPT/ › and ‹ https://www.u2764.com/OFIC/ › from linked Atom feeds/archives! See the source code for those pages, or @ me for an explanation of how it works.

Tupperware is full so I’m closing out for the night! Thank you to everyone who stopped by :)
Basil plants have been (literally) cut down to size & turned into a pound of pesto for the freezer plus a bit extra for dinner tonight!
And caramels are pretty much cool so the cutting/weighing & wrapping process will probably start soon
We’re into the uncharted ‘find things to do while caramel cools’ territory
Usually I’d just leave it over night but I need these done by pretty early tomorrow so
Also feel free to @ me if you’re having trouble joining, etc
I’m making caramels so, as per tradition, I’ve opened a jitsi room! Please drop by if you’d like to verify i have a face / chat about things / just generally keep me company while I work :)

Linux gives cozy squid job, irks wrathful temp
Today in Overly Qualified: someone just called Octavian "the best Roman emperor to that point"
i messed up the a & b labels here but ah well you kno what i mean
I realize this is highly specific but I feel in my heart that it's a trope and I'm struggling to think of examples (besides the one that inspired the q)
Hey does anyone know of any media where: character a semi-randomly gives a speech about how much they trust character b, unknowingly guilting character b into not going through with or saving character b from their murder plot?

§ 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!]
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
