@maple oh i remember that shit

they had a... gaelic name for their search engine? which made it doubly incomprehensible to refer to in daily conversation honestly

@matias93@scholar.social yep! mardi gras is probably the purest translation of that medieval moment of EVERYTHING'S TOPSY-TURVEY WAHEY still standing in america

obviously we should bring back it for round 2 for april fool's day!

fuck me running i feel like absolute dogshit.

it seems like all i fucking do all day long is tread water, trying to cope and stay sane through 7-8 out of 10 pain. i'm so sick of it y'all.

alternatively, recognize the roots of april fool's day by making it truly a 'fool's day' in the spirit of celebrations from roman times on up, but typically codified in medieval era,

where the point of the holiday was to invert the entire social structure to blow off steam and enjoy yourselves with the inherent humor of topsy-turvy, also giving those in power a dose of humility and a reminder that rota fortunae may also turn for *them* and that their power is always going to be temporary.

for the record i am fine with april fool's pranks, provided they are good ones that are actually funny

hurting someone isn't funny

intentionally causing emotional distress isn't funny

creating a mess and making it someone else's problem is not funny

a good goof should bring joy and laughter, not distress. if your prank fails that test, it's a shit prank, and you should feel bad on account of being bad

ah, springtime on mastodon

the April Fool's discourse has already begun

i am perhaps far more bummed out by the knowledge that my #lolitafashion april fool's joke is not going to come out in time because my back and shoulders are throwing an absolute goddamn fit and i need to draw shit to land the joke, and releasing it text-only would end up with joke sadly splatted on the ground instead of neatly touching down on runway

boo hiss bodies suck

i think i am suffering under an awful curse

it is that every time my pet gets really nice and snuggly on me, i realize i need to go pee

@InspectorCaracal SAME HAT I MEAN SAME WIKIPEDIA HOLE

kinda love the teru teru bozu now too

@InspectorCaracal ...................you know i can't even make fun of that because it's a name where i instantly know what it is

however it is allowed to exist in splatoon because i saw somebody using it in their little splatoon art yesterday and it honestly warmed the cockles of my cold black heart. splatoon is where it is allowed to be. that is the S's native habitat.

but everywhere else is ON THIN FUCKIN ICE

confession: you know that S? the super S thing that it seems is a widespread part of kid culture you learn in elementary school?

i kinda hate it

bc my real name starts with an S and i was the kid always doodling so whenever anyone was like 'will you draw me a thing if i draw you a thing?' and i went yes, i'd draw something detailed and in-depth for them and all i'd get back is my name written with That Fucking S.

i feel like i just saw some extremely advanced mastodonmancy just now, where posting a picture includes the entire subtoot in the picture description

....i came in all "ok i levelled up my mods, i got stronger, i have the patience to die over and over!!! let's do this!!!" and done in a 1 min and 7 seconds.

welp.

also yes, i named my resonator ball. it is Ollie. i am going to claim that anyone in warframe who plays octavia does this, even if they're not ready to admit it yet.

good news everyone, after working several weeks at getting stronger in #warframe , being stuck on that jupiter junction with the valkyr spectre, i have a definitive new strategy!

1. be octavia

2. put on some 80's japanese disco (https://youtu.be/ZJSBAIFMMcA in this case)

3. mallet

4. resonator

5. let Ollie the Rollie just kill things for you

i'm afraid that, in my allyship, i feel compelled to make the dad joke that everyone either suspects is coming, or has heard five million times already today:

trans friends, remember to put off your bank robbing and various other heists on today, this day of trans visibility, when they can actually see you

however i am an extreme cynic, and i don't think i've seen an egalitarian yet who didn't choose that term to specifically say "well i want gender equality, but WITHOUT GIRL COOTIES ON IT"

usually about 3 replies before some sort of FEMINISTS ARE THE REAL SEXISM!!11!

'i wish there was a way to introduce myself as egalitarian, but one of the good ones'

you can it's called saying 'i'm a feminist' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
