Its weird to see youtubers describe the horror video game Signalis as "Lovecraft inspired" because it features The King in Yellow quite prominently. This is notably a horror work that actually predate Lovecraft's (it even inspired some of his stories).

It actually turns out Howard did not in fact come up with the concept of "forbidden thing that makes people go crazy".

It seems that some of the traditional hashtags for plant and fungus Fediposting are being forgotten. A quick recap:

Plants: #plantodon
Moss: #mosstodon
Flowers: #florespondence
Fungus: #sporespondence
Lichen: #LichenSubscribe

I stand with Native Americans calling for an end to the use of their identities as mascotry for The Apache Software Foundation.

The ASF is the most prolific, prestigious, and successful open source foundation.

It's time to parlay that success into doing right by marginalized people, and act in accordance with the foundation's own Code of Conduct.

I look forward to supporting everyone through this necessary transformation.

Hi everyone, I'd like to announce I just spun up this brand new Mastodon instance for Persians, Iranians and the like; https://persia.social/

My intentions are to foster a supportive, inclusive free online community for us to share our culture and ethnicity with one another and the digital world.

Would love to have you join!
