ꙮ and its less-extreme siblings totally underscore how weirdly and inconsistently political Unicode can get, though.
"This O that some medieval monk doodled eyes in because it appears in the word 'oculus' is its own unique letter. Actually we'll do three differentiated by how many eyes he doodled."
"Sounds legit."
"Also, Japanese is just Chinese in a different font."
Honestly I'm like the most philosophically materialist person you're going to meet, but ꙮ still kind of does me a bit of a spook. "There is a 21st century digital encoding of the special character used only when mentioning seraphim in 15th century Russian manuscripts" not only sounds made up, it sounds like a supporting detail at the beginning of one of those novels where people start to turn inside out.

Docker can be an unforgiving Mistress. Database lost. I used the wrong command when I made a modification.
I am not done with this... growing pains. Please resubscribe. I promise not to make the same mistake again. I will find new and innovative ways of fucking this up in the future.
Note to self: When you see half a conversation in the timeline and determine that it's because the missing person is a *@sealion.club user, it's NEVER worth finding out what the full thing looks like.
The fun thing about "sarcastic" mansplaining is that if I don't know you, it is indistinguishable from actual mansplaining.
It doesn't work as a joke. You are actually just doing the exact same thing that idiots do, just with a secret intent that I am not in on.
Why does everybody on the internet feel the urge to disagree with you without actually disagreeing with you?
I dream of a better world. A world without the problems of today's.
A world where you can talk about classic rock without some jackass going "IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?????"

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT
Forbes wrote ANOTHER article about Mastodon, which uses the word "disrupt" in the headline
and they embedded a video from gargron's youtube channel at the end
and when you watch it
a little picture of Gargron's Fursona pops up in the corner!!!!
ON FORBES
the wonderful witches of witches.town have introduced me to the glyph ꙮ
it is "multiocular O", a variant of Cyrillic O that is used in certain religious texts in a phrase that translates to "many-eyed seraphim" and basically nowhere else
I honestly am having a hard time thinking of a single witchier Unicode character unless the Leviathan cross is hidden somewhere in the codeplanes
Thinking about what the opposite of a followbot would be: an Ambassador Bot!
It would just boost all local toots that earned more than X favs. So follow it to see the best of what a platform has to offer.
