The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

I’m excited to announce that next week I start my new job as the Patron Services Manager at the Broadview Public Library!
That's amazing!
I feel attacked! 🤣

Transphobia is now government policy and all queer people are in danger. To young trans people, I wanna reassure you that not every adult has gone mad and many of us have your back. We'll be fighting to the bitter end for a just world. THE FIRST PRIDE WAS A RIOT AND WE FIGHT BACK.

I know. I was there in those camps.
As expected, Trump’s first day in office brought chaos. Immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and federal programs were all targeted in his first wave of executive orders—but not everything will stick. The Big Picture breaks it all down in this handy guide to Trump's most deplorable day one actions.

Not so great news... I have a cold.
Pretty good news... even though there's still a bit of swelling, my cyborg knee is healing up well. Check out that fabulous 90º+ bend and fancy scar! Once it's healed more, I'm thinking maybe a lightning bolt tattoo.
What a delicious emergency!
A bit of vague-skyin', but if you could share some good luck in the form of cute animal pics for something that's happening next week, that would be so great. Thanks!
Thank you! 🩵🦢🩵

Impressive!
Oof! So familiar... Right in the feels.
Right? It's also important to look at the state of Germany before the second world war.
