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.

3 days left in our annual fundraiser! Let’s close this out strong. 🌈📚

We want to make it easier for everyone in the U.S. to access queer stories. You can help us make that happen 💕

We’re at @sciencehistory.org talking about the threats to science, led by @philadelphiascienceaction.substack.com!

Science is under authoritarian threat. We are gathering to discuss these threats with elected officials.

These threats do not just hurt the careers of scientists! It hurts all of us.
