I want to make a list of *short stories* (any genre) published by intersex authors in 2025 & hopefully going forward. I've been meaning to do this for a while, and I think now there are plenty of stories.
If you have some stories, let me know / if not, please repost to spread the word?
Thank you!

Doodles for Hong Kong 🇭🇰
In response to the tragic Tai Po fire, I'm doing charity commissions. Anyone who puts over £25/250HKD into "Feeding Hong Kong" or Hong Kong SPCA can request a coloured doodle of any prehistoric animal 🙏

Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out
A new Gmail update may allow Google to use your private messages and attachments for AI training. Here's how to turn it off.

For the past couple days, I’ve been watching stitches in time (someone stitched together the entire Doctor Who universe in chronological order, clip by clip) as I do other stuff (like learning to draw noses) and I think I’m losing my mind a bit. Lol. #whosky

Today is World Kindness Day.
It can be holding a door open for someone, offering a seat on the bus, or simply checking on the people who have been a part of your life's story.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.

They called them Near Abroad Direct Action Operations, NADA Ops. The "joke" in the CalSec cafeterias, which made its way out later in the hearings was that "What does the operator say when asked if there are civilians in the area? Nada...oops!". Even decades later, Arizona didn't find it funny.
