The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2026.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

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!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

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.

Thank you so much!

Came across this art installation, Liza Lou's Kitchen, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC. It's a kitchen made of tiny glass beads, that artist Liza Lou did, taking 5 yrs. to complete, from 1991 - 1996.

My favorite part is the sink.

went through the effort of making this gif just to remind everyone of rocky scooting closer to grace on the beach

Has Pixie ever dyed Pixie's hair? If so, what colour was it?

Tour de Fleece day one!

Spun about 10g to finish this bobbin. 50g to go, split between two more bobbins.

This is an 80/20 Corriedale/Nylon blend, the one that caused me to learn how to knit socks. I'm now realizing that I think I have a second braid of it somewhere in case 100g isn't enough for a pair of socks. Hope I don't need it because the stash is deeply disorganized right now.
