* installed @11ty/eleventy-plugin-rss package and added it to the config * adding default rss template from the 11ty documentation * using 'definedWords' as a collection, not 'posts' * added a link to the feed in the html head, on the homepage so it's co-located with the other means of engagement, and in the feed itself (permalink is now part of metadata too) * metadata.description is what we want to show as the feed subtitle, and made the author name safe as part of the metadata json; can't use the safe filter otherwise xml blows up * removed redundant --- from right below the frontmatter, which md turns into a <hr>, which makes xml blow up * made indentation consistent * removing subscribe link from the CTA box, adding it to the footer next to Documentation link with bullet delimiter; updated site footer's ul style to show list items as display-block elements * on definition pages, the footer is constrained to have the max width of the sidebar (160px). set grid-column: 1 / -1 to give it the full width to match the home/toc page * created a new collection for sorting only defined words via their .date value (should be created date unless otherwise specified) * RSS feed now shows posts in the order used by new definedWordsChronological collection * reversed sort order as requested * re-prettier-ifying eleventy.js Co-authored-by: Oscar <ovlb@users.noreply.github.com>

from Greek for hate or hatred
Use
-Misia can be appended to minoritised identifiers that are targeted for hate, such as fat (fatmisia), trans (transmisia), or Islam (Islamomisia).
Issues
-Phobia is Greek for 'fear of'.
When used as a suffix in the context of Islamophobia, transphobia, or fatphobia, it is implied that the individual or group has a fear of individuals and communities who identify in those ways. Rather than a direct translation, however, the implication and subtext of these terms is one of prejudice and discrimination. Using the term phobia falsely masks hate as fear.
Additionally, people with anxiety disorders and mental illness can also experience phobias, so conflating prejudice and discrimination (attitudes and behaviours that can be changed) with medical conditions that cannot be changed additionally harms people who experience phobias from their anxiety disorders.
As such, using the term phobia removes the responsibility from those who exhibit prejudice and discrimination as it implies it is outside of their control.
Impact
Hateful actions of prejudice and discrimination are unfairly conflated with mental illness. It can create a false parallel where one could imply that actual phobias are something that can be controlled, which harms people who experience actual phobias.
Meanwhile, people exhibiting prejudice and discrimination are given excuses for their bigoted behaviour and not held accountable for their actions.
