With the way the wind looks like it's blowing, I'm wondering if I should get some spare ethernet cables before the americans start ordering them in bulk and reading up on bgp

Apparently "World Hello Day" both exists, and is today (2017-11-21)

So uh... hello?

@PlushRumpus Paging @blackle@dev.glitch.social

@masklayer TUUUUUUUUUUBE

GRITSY BITSY TEENY WEENY YELLOW ANTI-SLIP MACHINEY

@Concerned_Catgirl Proposal's available along with an explanation of why

https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2014/14213-skin-tone-mod.pdf

@Concerned_Catgirl because a committee decided it would be more inclusive than just having default yellow

I think the minutes of that meeting are available somewhere

Added pronouns to bio because normalising that seems like a good idea

When @blackle@dev.glitch.social orders packs of playing cards they arrive consisting only of three suits; clubs, spades, and diamonds

That's because everyone knows you don't send hearts to blackle

Fun fact: The pirate accent we're all used to is in fact a mish-mash of various West Country accents (especially Cornwall, South Devon, and Bristol Channel)

This is entirely because Robert Newton used an accent like that when he played Long John Silver in the 1950 film of Treasure Island

This means that to the untrained ear everyone from the region sounds like either farmers or pirates

@Elizafox *lowers the mainbrace* arrr, we knows when we's not welcome

Well, this is dumb
