I could start #Ao3OpeningLine but I’m not sure I’ll be able to top «Han Chen finds it kind of amazing that this isn't even the first time he's been lured into the woods for some kind of weird game that's probably supposed to include people being murdered.» anytime soon
Tulip magnolias making a second attempt after a freeze killed the first in the bud

#Ao3TagOfTheDay Alternate Universe - Morality Catboys
Okay belated introductions post as promised:
I'm satsuma aka satsu aka 🍊 yr resident chronically ill punk, generally operating out of Philly (so EST, timezonewise)
I mostly post about whatever's caught my interest at the moment, which typically includes: cdramas & other fandom stuff (I believe I am the fedi-originator of #Ao3TagOfTheDay ), food (i have a lot of niche food hobbies), cats, the local flora, asexuality & queer theory, and my questionable attempts at learning spanish
Assorted recs for new accounts:
@plants — plants from the gardens of various fedifriends! (and other topics: https://a.gup.pe/ )
@glitchbot — a bot that glitches photos you give it
The hashtags #cats and #florespondence
@quasihaiku and @poem_exe — haiku bots (quasi avoids latin’s fifth glyph)
@alt_text — reminds you if you’ve forgotten to describe your images

I *just* noticed that the dogs name in Crack a Code changes between successes 😆 #FallenLondon
Dear #fediverse #instance #admin
the current situation with the @guppegroups Handles is very confusing.
It drives me crazy ;)
The server "gup.pe" is now "a.gup.pe" (maybe @datatitian can confirm).
The problem is the cache of the old handles. In mastodon, people find the non-existent "gup.pe" handles before they find the correct "a.guppe" handles (`Group` `Actor`) …
Can we [after consent of the domain owner above] maybe delete the cache for the old "gup.pe" domain?
There’s also an undertone where in my last paper I included some observations on how Besant uses Hinduism to give her arguments cultural legitimacy and he was like ‘you should drop everything else and focus on that’ which I did, technically, by writing a paper about how Besant consistently conflates Hindu Nationalism with Indian Nationalism and rejects all other religions as irrelevant or inherently foreign
Which is *probably* not what he meant by that lol
This is objectively a pretty good paper but ai have no idea if its what the professor is expecting from this assignment
Also it seems translators have already taken "foreignization" for a point slightly different than the one I'm trying to make here, so going to have to rethink that sentence
#Ao3TagOfTheDay Enemies to Friends …to in-laws
> The PSP's web browser is - charitably - pathetic. It is slow, frequently runs out of memory, and can only open 3 tabs at a time... But the GOV.UK pages are written in simple HTML. They are designed to be lightweight and will work even on rubbish browsers. They have to. This is for everyone...
> Are you developing public services? Or a system that people might access when they're in desperate need of help? Plain HTML works. A small bit of simple CSS will make look decent. JavaScript is probably unnecessary - but can be used to progressively enhance stuff. Add alt text to images so people paying per MB can understand what the images are for (and, you know, accessibility).
