@posit@chitter.xyz it's more important to try your best and make slow improvements than to be expected to be perfect all the time every time

@dzuk@a.weirder.earth i hella love yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss

Not only is it numerically sortable properly, but it's also "string" sortable IE the alphanumeric expansion of order per-character of the string that is produced is in the same order as the date order!

Thoughts on social media and caring 

Social media encourages us to be more performative about our thoughts and activities, including the things we care about. A down side of that is that if someone isn't performative about something, it can seem like they're not doing it or don't care about it.

Remember: people can care about things without it being a public performance, and calling someone out for not making a public performance of their very real care does very real harm.

ableism 

@daggertooth@monsterpit.net I wasn't even calling them ableist. I said they used ableist language, and asked them to do better. They took it as an insult.

Apparently not feeling disparaged is less important than not hurting people to them.

ableism, specific slur references, administration 

Unlearning ableist language is important. It's a structural problem that we've embdedded in our every day lives.

"Stupid", "Crazy", "Dumb", "Idiot", "Insane" and more are all ableism terms you should DEFINITELY not be posting on the PTL, nor at all calling other people

If you think asking you to not post this is me calling you ableist, get out, because you clearly don't care about being harmful.

ableism 

Fun fact: If I tell you you've used an ableist term and to not use it again in the future, I'm not calling you ableist

Get over yourself.

inquiry of health of someone 

I don't know her but I've been concerned seeing other people talk about her. Has anyone heard from Mizui? (I think that was her name?)
