Gender Census @gendercensus.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! 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. #LGBTQ

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

Man Brings Lunch From Home To Cut Down On Small Joys
RICHMOND, VA—Speaking with reporters while opening Ziploc baggies of pretzel twists and baby carrots, local man Stan Keppler said Monday that he has started bringing in lunch from home to cut down on his small joys. “Making your own lunch each day is a great way to reduce your simple pleasures throughout the week—it’s already made a huge difference for me,” the 38-year-old insurance underwriter said as he unwrapped a plain turkey sandwich from aluminum foil that he had woken up 15 minutes early this morning to prepare. “I used to go out for lunch with coworkers and actually enjoy myself every day, but now I just sit at my desk and eat something I packed from home. It’s quick, easy, and has cut my weekly sense of gratification by at least half.” Keppler went on to say that he is considering canceling his cable service as well, which would save him 90 hours of genuine relaxation time a month.

This is always a good thing to promote, buying from indie presses helps keep a broad ecosystem of writing out there, a lot of small presses are one person affairs and they put so much love money time into them Got a blog for that www.indiepublishers.co.uk (not just UK) #IndiePressDay #Publishers

Thinking about #bannedbooks while reading AT THE EDGE OF EMPIRE by @ewong.bsky.social — In one chapter Wong interviews Chinese writer Murong Xuecun, who says: "The worst effect of the censorship is the psychological impact on writers." I fear this is happening to American writers right now.
A quote from AT THE EDGE OF EMPIRE by Edward Wong, in which Wong is speaking with Chinese writer Murong Xuecun: "The worst effect of the censorship is the psychological impact on writers," he said in between drags on a cigarette on his balcony. "When I was working on my first book, I didn't care whether it would be published, so I wrote whatever I wanted. Now, after I have published a few books, I can clearly feel the impact of censorship when I write. For example, I'll think of a sentence, and then realize that it will for sure get deleted. Then I won't even write it down. This self-censoring is the worst."

Guess what? We’re still here. 😂 People are asking what they can do: 1) Keep calling your electeds! 2) If you’re local to DC, come protest at OPM & the Old Executive Bldg, where word has it Musk works out of. (haven’t confirmed that) Just stay on public sidewalks and be kind to federal employees.

"What doesn’t seem to work is sending people home with no face-time at all." Can we tell the homeschoolers that? I appreciate the need for homeschooling with disabilities, but for me it was still overall more harmful. Especially since it meant I was still bullied in the few co-ops I attended.

I think one of the worst quirks of online spaces is the idea that if someone doesn't post about something, they don't care about it. It encourages performative posting often makes things worse. I care a lot. I just don't want to add another poorly-informed voice. I'm reading & thinking.
