Etymology TIL: the word "cab" (an abbreviation of "cabriolet") for a taxi comes from the Latin for "kid goat" because early cabs had springy suspension that reminded people of bouncing baby goats.
(The "cab" of a truck or train is by analogy to those early horse-drawn taxis.)
Ooh my Mastodon instance tech.lgbt has an aporagender flag emoji!

If you use name.pn to share your name, pronouns and pronunciation on Mastodon, you can now get the verified status for your name.pn URL. (This is a great little feature!)
To make this happen, add a link to your Mastodon profile to your name.pn "Links" section, for example: https://name.pn/quinn-daley
Mastodon noob question: does Mastodon / any client support "lists" like Twitter does?
On that site I was pretty stuck on reading a custom feed of my favourite accounts rather than the main feed of everyone I followed.

Update
I wrote some short python code and got a list of 4945 names
The best was 6, and there are two groups:
1) aline, lanie, liane, linea, neila, & nelia
2) ashlie, elisha, leisha, leshia, sheila, & shlia
My first ever toot had better be something incredibly witty because I'm going to look back on this day for years to come.
