Deity who's unacquainted with concept of evolution creating a world with, like, twelve different kinds of creatures, thinking "yes, that's a good number – nice and symmetrical", then going on vacation for a couple million years and being very upset at what's waiting for them when they get back.

All UK phones will go off with a loud siren-like sound on April 23rd at 3PM

Screenshot reads as follows:

The new Emergency Alerts system will be tested nationally on Sunday 23rd April.
The system will warn people when their lives are in danger. An Emergency Alert is a loud, siren-like sound with a message on your mobile phone screen.
See more: https://gov.uk/alerts
The Emergency Alerts system is now live and it will be used to warn people when lives are in danger

Please don't ignore this as people with mental health conditions, those in abusive environments, et cetera, who are unaware of this might panic or be in harms way.

If you have a secret phone because you're living in an abusive situation, here is how to turn these Emergency Alerts off because they will still make a sound with your phone on silent:

Even if you're not from the UK, please share this if you can!

Please pre-alert anyone who might be endangered by this or who might just be totally alarmed by their phone making a loud noise and sending them an 'Emergency Alert' text. Many people may be concerned that it's a hoax even if the message clarifies it's a test. For neurodivergent people or people with PTSD this is also a risk. It could just be super annoying in the theatre or if you're putting a baby to sleep.

Either by preparing or by turning it off, please get yourself and friends and family ready

Feel free to delete if you don't even wanna consider the possibility but I never actually thought about Barnaby and Gloria coexisting and, as both animals, my IMMEDIATE thought was "goat dog hybrid children" HUJNMS

The 2023 Gender Census is now open!

The 10th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 9th May 2023.

It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

Thank you so much!

Didn’t anticipate one of the bonuses of going to a drag show in a smaller more conservative town would be getting to see a bro who clearly wandered into the wrong part of the bar by mistake experience what looked to be a transcendent awakening upon seeing his first drag show.

On of the queens halfway through the show, “Honey, are you straight?”

Okay I looked this one up. He said he talked to God, made up some songs, and lost nine kilos during his 20ish hours in the water. He was also completely nude when he was rescued.
