Celebrate New Year's Eve with the clowns and our fediverse friends from all over the world from the safety and comfort of your own home via the magical powers of the #CircusInPlace video chat!
The fun kicks off with the Emperor Norton Coffee Hour at 7pm UTC-6, and runs well into the next year so we can cheer at everyone's midnight.
The #CircusInPlace weather report this Wednesday calls for a night of warm company, cool acrobatics, and a chance of pun storms.
Join the clowns and their friends in the video chat starting at 8pm UTC-6:
Niceposting, food, relationship
This morning, I woke up snuggling with a partner. Then, we baked croissants with apples, chocolate, and brie. They traded my chocolate croissant for a brie croissant, since I liked the brie ones better. Somewhere in there, some work stuff happened. Pretty nice morning ~
Product recommendation, cute hair bow ear saver
I replaced the hair clip portion of it, but just uh, PSA, this is a great object and as very useful for being gendered as femme in a mask. The maker is very sweet.

Looking for autism friendly color guide, boosts welcome
@c0debabe any chance you might remember where an autism-friendly color guide might be? @kasserole was talking about it earlier and it seemed like something you might've seen.
covid, putting on my dad hat, risk assessment
Judging by what I'm reading about hospital capacity, and from the local EMT friends my roommate knows, now would really be a good time to practice IRL risk assessment.
Everyone's already made up their minds about covid risk levels and balances, so I won't harass except to say Get Your Boosters Please.
But also:
Cook and clean carefully.
Watch the state of the leftovers you eat.
Don't do anything stupid with electricity, wires, or your space heater.
Consider postponing repairs and projects that need power tools, if you can.
Stay off interstate highways as much as possible.
Watch. Out. For. Ice.
People are already sitting in ERs for *days* at this point. This won't last forever, but it might be a good idea to live like you're made of breakable materials for a few weeks. Because you are. 💜
I'm proud of what cyberia.club has done with capsul.org, our home-grown "cloud" VPS provider over the past couple of years. We keep it running day in and day out, and others have joined us in our repos / made a fork, embarking on their own journey.

Please caption your images, describe what's in the links you're sending people toward, describe the videos you're sharing, make sure you use words on your posts that verbally describe their contents so people's filters work on them. If you can't do that consistently, consider switching to unlisted posting by default or ask for help. For image descriptions, "caption please" in a post will nearly always inspire a reply or two with help allowing screen reader users to enjoy your posts.
We do have people who need such accommodations on this instance; please use the tools (built-in or social) provided.
