I'm trying to sleep and the bugs outside are buzzing at a certain cluster of wavelengths that reads to my brain as a human voice and whenever I let my focus shift it jumps to trying to hear what the gnat king has to say
I closed my window

The 2024 Gender Census is now open!
[ Link to survey ]
The 11th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is nowΒ open until 13th June 2024.
Itβs short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.
After the survey is closed Iβll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like weβre part of a huge and diverse community.
If you think you might have friends and followers whoβd be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful - itβs what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.
Survey URL:Β https://survey.gendercensus.com
The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesnβt fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.
For the curious, you can also spy on some graphs and demographic data for the incoming responses here.
Thank you so much!

I feel like, we as a society, don't talk enough about people messing up needle felting.

Pictures like this are so important! I wish I would have seen more of this when I was younger. Iβd have been more receptive to my bodyβs need for mobility aids if I had seen it in a positive light like this.

So if Iβm understanding it right, this is basically the equivalent of stopping by a coworkerβs house to pick up something and next they disappear and their toddler comes out of some room with a sticky toy phone and hands it to you and youβre just left there like an idiot like UHHHM THATβS NICE and THANK YOU? and also ANYWAY IS YOUR DAD AWAKE YET? HELLO? ANYONE? and walking into a door as you try to get away.
Some cold, wet mornings, youβll find the hornbill, sitting atop the termite mound that the Mongoose have taken refuge in over night, Β waiting for itβs band of companions to rouse. Β A little impatiently it seems, it sometimes taps on the mound, quite insistently. Β Before long, the band of mongoose start to emerge from the warm interior, ready to start searching for a morsel or two.
As they forage through the shrubs and grass, the hornbill perches on branches above, snapping up any unfortunate insects, disturbed by the mongoose. Β What does the mongoose get out of this, apart from a rude awakening? Β Well, since the hornbill gets an easy meal, the mongoose gets in return, greater safety that the hornbillβs higher vantage point gives them. Β Should the hornbill spot something dangerous, an eagle or another ground predator, it will utter an alarm calls, sending the mongoose scurrying to the nearest shelter.
This is known as mutualism. Β Both species are benefiting from the other with neither being negatively affected.
