On December 29, the current owners of LJ posted an announcement to the Russian language news community: ru-news.livejournal.com/80899.html You can drop that into Google Translate, it does pretty okay with Russian these days.

The Wayback Machine, openlibrary.org, and some other archive.org functions are offline because some network gear has failed.

We apologize and are working on it. More as it happens.

Title: Gender Census 2025. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

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.

35,000 responses as of 2 days ago!

It's especially helpful to share among LGBTQ+ groups who are:

- Outside of the USA
- Not white

Only 18% of respondents are over 31, and over half are in the USA, so it really helps to get the word out to as many different places as possible.

Graph title: Prediction of final participation count for 2024. Graph shows current data so far, and a projected trend line that ends at just under 60,000 after one month of survey.

Here's a survey for people whose genders are a bit [mysterious hand-waggling]:

This morning on day 4 I woke up to about 28,000 responses, not bad! Looking at the graphs, it seems like the response rate is much higher than last year.

I mean, I wouldn't really call that a "kids these days" thing. It combines crack, which has been used by that since the late 90s, and ship, which originated in X-Files fandom around 93. Both term histories can be found with a quick Fanlore search.

Text reads: 'International Fanworks Day Fanlore Challenge'. The Fanlore logo is at the bottom left corner, followed by hashtag IFD2024.

We’re celebrating 10 years of International Fanworks Day with our annual week-long challenge, the IFD Fanlore Challenge! From February 12th-18th, come celebrate fandom with us by completing fun editing challenges and earning our sparkling gem-themed badges bit.ly/3jHB3bj
