Each month, we create a post to keep you abreast of news and happenings regarding the server, discuss recent events, and to act as town square for the community. 🌟 Community Highlights 🌟
2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ Solarpunks!We were so close, we nearly announced this last month, but since the instance's founding in March 2022, 2000 accounts have been created on this server. That number doesn't mean much beside being big and round, but it's still fun to celebrate.
The most important numerical statistic is active users, where we're coming up on 400/month. More important than all of that is the kind and quality of your activity on this server and across the Fediverse. We're extremely proud of the quality of posts and level of discourse members of this server are contributing to our shared and distributed social media experiment. Thanks so much for joining us on this adventure. 🧙♀️ Meta Post Image Breakdown: W.I.T.C.H. ✊On October 29, 1969, officers of the court bound Black Panther leader Bobby Seale in rope, chained him to his defendant's chair, filled his mouth with gauze, and wrapped it tightly around his mouth and jaw. He had demanded his constitutional rights to speech and to be defended by a lawyer. The bigoted, racist, and fascist judge's order shocked the world, inspiring outrage and protest. That Halloween, women dressed as witches organized an impromptu act of guerilla theatre:
This was one of the many hexes for which the ephemeral organization known as W.I.T.C.H. is famous. The post image is a frame from the Documentary She's Beautiful When She's Angry (2014), of a coven in Washington D.C. performing a hex on U.S. president Richard Nixon's inauguration on the steps of the United States Capitol building. W.I.T.C.H. most often stands for "Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell," but could just as easily mean "Women Inspired to Tell their Collective History," or "Women Interested in Toppling Consumer Holidays." This seasonal political theatre has seen a recent resurgence, adding "Welcoming Immigrants & Their Children Here" to the auspicious name.
While white facepaint and black masks were integral to the theatre in the 60's and 70's, a thick black veil has become popular during recent events.
The Wikipedia page for Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell is a good jumping off point if you'd like to know more. 🗃️ Into the Meta Archives 📰Our Monthly Meta posts are sometimes home to more in-depth sections written by our admins.
