The 10th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 9th May 2023.
It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.
After the survey is closed I’ll 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 we’re part of a huge and diverse community.
If you think you might have friends and followers who’d 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 – it’s what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.
The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

A deep cut I incurred on my finger two weeks ago finally closed over, leaving some pink, and I keep looking at it and feeling perplexed over the capability of the human body to… just do that

A friend of mine uses they/them as the default pronoun for any stranger she’s discussing. It’s fun. Today she they/themmed the Pope.
POST CANCELLED APOLOGIES TO THE POPE.
the pope has pronouns in bio, actually

As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can’t argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.
In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.

Every time I go out to visit the midwest or mountain west I’m baffled as to how anyone lives in these gigantic flat plains or giant bowl valleys between mountains with no trees to speak of. It’s nature’s panopticon. You can go inside I guess but that roof can’t hide you from God like the woods can. It’s gorgeous of course but I’m going back to Mirkwood where I can think my wicked little thoughts in peace, thank you very much.
i feel the same except the complete opposite. the mountains are nice to visit but how does anyone live there? you don’t know what’s hiding in there. peace is endless flat plains, nothing but you and the angel you’re struggling with.
fascinating! enjoy the type of horror that feels like home to you and I will do the same xoxo

#the answer is me‚ *I* am hiding in there #(okay technically I don’t live in the mountains but yeah) #((certainly I have visited some very cozy caves)) #(and technically I’ve never been to the prairies but #I absolutely took one look at the place secondhand and was like ”that sounds fucking miserable”) #this probably deserves some warning tag but I am not sure what #this post was queued because my to-reblog list is too long and I didn’t want to dump it on you all at once
If your cat is not made from one of the five grains, she cannot technically be leavened. However, since it is clear that she can be made into something that resembles bread, it may be worth asking your local rabbi if she is kitteniot.
