We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

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.

The “deal” that Brown made with the Trump admin is much more extreme than is being reported. It includes government oversight of course evaluations and no barrier to government interference in faculty hiring.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Working through Wind and Truth and the rep is really nice. Some of it feels a little shoehorned, but for others it's core to their character in a way I really appreciate.

You're doing everything so fast, you can't stand taking a single moment to sit and think to yourself. What else is there? What are you saving time to even do? If you brush away the process of learning and growing and thinking what even is left?? Christ

A better plot, more clearly showing that the number of NSF GRFP awards have been halved this year.
Noting that this is not an action that NSF would have taken if the administration weren't forcing it's hand with funding cuts.

In November a discord I was in of mostly ~20-year-olds remarked that "at least the campaigning was over" and now they could stop thinking about politics. They weren't adults for Trump 1; they didn't know what it was like. I'm not in it any more but I wonder how they're doing

An unusually heavy trans day of visibility. Get active in mutual aid, write a zine, go to a protest, just buy (or make!) a sandwich for a trans person in your life.
