maybe that battery-can energy drink at 5 PM was a bad idea
VVVVVV--
So, uh...
Masto's webui has that "filter by regex" option. And it takes regexen, as it should.
A single letter -- v, specifically -- is a valid regex. I wonder how long that'd been there. Got a lot more toots to read now.
UX suggestion: have a visible "(Filtered)" in the header of any column with an active filter so people can at least know a filter is active.
An affirmation for those of you headed home to doubters, skeptics, and concern trolls:
Your identity is not rooted in their belief, but in yours. Your identity is valid because you say it is. Whether you pass in your chosen life is immaterial to its truth. You are who and what you say you are. That you don't, and perhaps can't, embody your inner self is not evidence against its reality. I see you.
Oh hey look at me, more #sustainability tooting with videos. This might be of interest for folks in the Seattle area, too. It's high-def enough to pause and take notes on each diagram if you wanna.

This weekend I realized why I found it so baffling that no one else likes the motion controls in Mario Odyssey... They have full right thumbs. I don't.
I'm physically incapable of pressing more than two buttons at a time, because I'm missing the top 1/3rd of that thumb. The _only_ reason I can play Mario Odyssey is because of those motion controls replacing the 3rd button in combos.
Or, as put so delightfully succinctly by @thefishcrow, motion controls are an accessibility feature for me.
See this is why I like the idea of they/them pronouns.
What gender am I? What if I don't feel safe asking for female pronouns? What if I'm agender? What if I'm a plural system? Do I actually need a potentially personal chunk of identity defined every time I get groceries or buy coffee?
They/them for everyone as a nice formality - a little like referring to everyone as -san or tovarisch - sidesteps issues.
