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.
