Gender Census

@gendercensus.bsky.social

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.

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.

Looks like our little robot ants (and bee) have taken a short break during development to play dnd. How fun is that!

Novak Studios @novakstudios.bsky.social · Mar 26

Anthony felt it was time for his family to do some bonding. What better way to do that than through D&D?
Editor’s note: TEC’s version of Dungeons & Dragons only has warforged.

An image of Anthony, a robotic ant, running a D&D session. There is text next to him stating “Anthony got into D&D shortly after he joined Extermination Revolt, and has been playing with his friend group ever since.”
“Tries to run a serious campaign but he has a hard time keeping the silliness in check.”
“Gives amazing speeches as his NPCs.”

An image depicting Dec, a robotic ant, and Phila, a robotic bee playing D&D.
Dec is rolling dice and looking at his sheet, while saying: “I use my enhanced arcane focus to cast Scorching Ray at 3rd level, targeting two rays on the beetle-orc, and one of them on the mosquito-elf—”.
There is text stating “Dec is playing an Artillerist Artificer.”
“Gets really into the tactical strats, but does not care much for the roleplaying.”
“Enjoys the game more than he would like to admit.”
Phila is leaning forward, while saying “Messo, I need you to be more careful. I’m running out of spell slots.”
There is text stating “Phila is playing a Life Domain Cleric.”
“Tries to be a team player, but also wants to explore her own backstory.”

An image depicting Cophy and Messo, two ants, playing D&D.
Cophy is standing up, slamming her hands down on the table, while saying “I do 115 damage!” with a small doodle of Anthony responding “What??”
There is text stating “Cophy is playing an Oathbreaker Paladin… Well, this time, at least. She is on her third character.”
“Got really into the game after the first session.”
“Likes to derail Anthony’s sessions.”
Messo is looking towards Anthony, while responding to him “Cophy is correct, kid. I checked.”
There is text stating “Messo is playing a Swashbuckler Rogue.”
“Tries to be diplomatic in most situations, despite not playing a Bard.”

There’s still time to change our ways and protect the environment, and this video demonstrates this perfectly! Kudos to Simon for this amazing and educational video!

It can feel like we have made no progress in the fight against climate change.

That's not the case.

How much progress have we made on climate change?

They’re lucky we don’t actually have a budget.

It's been a week seems we've been told, but it's finally starting to sink in for me. We get to do our internship in our own company!! After many weeks of preparing the company and our pitch, we managed to do it!
