@noelle « By a legal fiction, the Romans treated both the first "sixth day" and the additional "sixth day" before the Kalends of March as one day. Thus a child born on either of those days in a leap year would have its first birthday on the following sixth day before the Kalends of March. When, many years later, modern consecutive day counts were laid alongside the Roman dates the sixth day before the Kalends of March fell on 24 February. However, in a leap year the sixth day fell on 25 February because the additional sixth day came before the 'normal' sixth day. » :blobmeow_spiral:

lol i contribute to ONE repository and suddenly GitHub is recommending me things like “Science History Institute Digital Collections”

@monorail i don't think people have negative intent but i think a lot of people have neutral intent and a lot of negative systems are enabled by it

simply not being bad is only good enough in a world which is good by default, which isn't our world

@noelle they probably did it as a joke and extremely regret that decision now

@KitRedgrave @witchfynder_finder something something “the goal, however, is to change it”
