i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

there is also an annomaly in ppl with ADHD that antidepressants work best if we take them at night instead of the morning. so if you get super lethargic despite taking your antidepressants, it might be worth trying to take them at night (pls consult with your doctor first tho)

Gender Census @gendercensus.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

There's about a day and a half remaining to participate in this year's Gender Census survey. It's open to anyone who feels the M/F binary doesn't explain/describe their experience of their gender(s) or lack thereof. Give 5 mins here: survey.gendercensus.com #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #survey #gender

Promotional image. Title: Gender Census 2026. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Images: On the left, a box with a Venus/female symbol on it, patterned with tree bark. On the right, a box with a Mars/male symbol on it, patterned with grass.

Venn diagram.
Title: Why does the Gender Census say "always, solely and completely"?
Subheading: Because we want to hear from everyone except these people in the middle. [Arrow pointing to the centre of the Venn diagram.]
Centre: Only 100% a [woman/man] all the time.
Circle 1: Always a [woman/man]. Partially a [woman/man] and something else, but all the time.
Circle 2: Completely a [woman/man]. Sometimes 100% [woman/man], and something else as well.
Circle 3: Solely a [woman/man]. Sometimes partially a [woman/man], and never anything else.
Circle 1 and 2 overlap: Always 100% [woman/man], and something else as well.
Circle 2 and 3 overlap: 100% and only a [woman/man], but only sometimes.
Circle 3 and 1 overlap: Always and solely a [woman/man], but not completely.
Outside of all three circles: None of the above; Secret third thing.
Disclaimer: Serving suggestion. Your mileage may vary. Genders in the Venn diagram may be larger than they appear.

Behind that is a married couple in Joseon-era hanbok with the wife in women's attire leaning down to kiss her sitting partner in men's attire on the cheek. A mirror shows both in women's attire with the leaning wife happily kissing the other on the cheek. The chest stands in front of an open window showing the silhouette of trees against a sunset sky.

The 1990 Bisexual Manifesto
We are tired of being analyzed, defined and represented by people other than ourselves, or worse yet, not considered at all. We are frustrated by the imposed isolation and invisibility that comes from being told or expected to choose either a homosexual or heterosexual identity.
Monosexuality is a heterosexist dictate used to oppress homosexuals and to negate the validity of bisexuality.
Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have "two" sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don't assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone's sexuality, including your own.
We are angered by those who refuse to accept our existence; our issues; our contributions; our alliances; our voice. It is time for the bisexual voice to be heard.
