The 2023 Gender Census is now open!
[ Link to survey ]
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.
Itâs short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.
After the survey is closed Iâll 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 weâre part of a huge and diverse community.
If you think you might have friends and followers whoâd 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 - itâs what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.
Survey URL:Â https://survey.gendercensus.com
The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesnât fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.
Thank you so much!

so yknow how schools will have those unofficial, student-run meme accounts?
well i was thinking about what thatâd look like for UA:
i imagine the account is run by a trio of incredibly jaded third year non-heroics courses students whoâve all agreed to drop out together to work at kfc if they canât make it to graduation
Happiness Will Come To You.
when tho
When You Least Expect It. Probably Late March
reblog for happiness to come for you in late march!
I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.
honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March
i learned a while ago that the whole "most of the stars we see in the sky are actually already dead because they're so far away that we're seeing them as they were thousands of years ago" thing is a myth because stars live so long that it's unlikely many, if any, of them have burned out yet, but i'm still glad that myth exists because there's just something about the thought of the sky as a graveyard of stars that gets to me
Itâs interesting because one day that will be true for some people on some planet out there, but we are so young, the universe is so young, that we live in a time when we get to see more stars born than we ever will see die. Thereâs poetry in looking up and seeing a star graveyard, but I think thereâs also poetry in looking up and seeing a star nursery.
Like, memento mori but also memento vivi

Hand it over

@lordfreg only one way to find outâŚ
do you still love Ranboo after everything?
Silly anon..! You cant love a dead thing.
Trope where thereâs one girl in a group of guys but then over the course of the series they all eventually realize that theyâre trans and start transitioning and it turns out that all along it was one guy in a group of girls.
The boy comes out at the end of the second to last season after the leader of the group whoâs been out the longest calls them a girl gang and he goes âUh, actually Keisha⌠about thatâŚâ and she goes âOh donât tell me. Not you too.â and he goes âUh, yeah I was gonna tell my mom first but what the hell Iâm Caleb now.â
The first episode ends with the one who will be called Keisha saying âLetâs go boys and Stephâ and in the last episode she says âLatâs go girls. And Caleb!â
The series has nothing to do with being trans of course. Itâs an ongoing joke at worst. Itâs a group of teens that fight corn demons in the midwest.
Thereâs a pair of twins who pose together like team rocket whenever theyâre making an announcement. When they come out they make sure to pick rhyming names. Theyâre not identical twins theyâre just like that.
Ngl sounds like an @seananmcguire book. Would read.

This is exactly what I expected it to be
I played this at full volume and fell off my chair

Look, I dont know a lot about saints and Catholicism, but I know St. Agatha is always depicted with her breasts on a plate, and thatâs sure something
Just a few more. This is a big trend.Â
Things I learned from the comments
Sheâs a patron saint of rape and abuse victims
She took a vow a chastity
A low born guy demanded her to be with him and she turned him down
For this she was imprisoned and tortured. This is how she lost her breasts (details not required)
She was repeatedly raped.
The Catholic Church regards her as a virgin for her peity despite the rape. (No matter your views on virginity this is a pretty interesting statement)
She was sentenced to death to burn at the stake but was saved by an earthquake
In her holiday people make titty cupcakes
I didnât know she existed and now I think sheâs a pretty rad woman. I would hesitate calling her a protofeminist as some often do with amazing women in history but she is pretty cool. Also sheâs still very relevant today as women are still treated the way she was.
other things i learned: damn historic artists drew a woman with her own tits on a plate with Cleavage and prominent nip nops???
When is titty cupcake day?
Today!
Remember to have yourself a titty cupcake this Saturday!
i like to imagine that clark kentâs search history is mostly normal but then thereâs stuff like âimproved superman costume concept artâ because he wanted ideas
#what would you even do as an artist #if one day superman is just wearing a costume that is clearly your design #like superman was clearly looking at your deviantart #there is a chance that superman saw that art you drew of him kissing batman #why is he wearing the costume you designed #is he trying to send a message #is he saying that he really does smooch batman #did superman see your kryptosona #how much does he knowÂ
someone said they wanted to be able to reblog this with my horrible tags
no but like⌠do you sue him for using your designs? Do you politely ask him to stop using your designs? Do you ask him for license fees when the Superman merchandise adopts your design as well?Â
i am absolutely sure that he would find one with an artistâs comment/description that included âhey superman if youâre reading this feel free to use this anytime ok ;3âł and he would say âoh man thatâs so thoughtful, thank you weedhorse69, I think I willâ and like how do you explain in court that you, weedhorse69, did not intend for your statement to be any kind of contractual offer because you did not think he would ever find your public internet post with his name all over it
#people are reblogging the version of this without my final addition#offended that i would suggest clark kent wouldnât credit the artist#missing what i consider to be the obvious facts of the matter#itâs probably a costume designed out of pure thirst too like#weedhorse69 is gonna keep his mouth shut because this way he gets to watch superman#running around town in a costume that really shows off his biceps and abs#he thought it looked summery#the league holds an intervention asking him to please stop wearing it#he does not stop no one can stop him#batman v superman II: clark please put on a real shirt
tumblr is garbage and likes to resize everything and readmores donât work on mobile anyway so you all will just have to click through if you want to read weedhorse69â˛s chatlog screenshots
THAT CHATLOG THO
For the love of God
PLEASE
Read Through The Whole Thing
Reblog this if youâre polyamorous, searching for a cryptid, trying to communicate with demons, willing to throw a Molotov cocktail at a police car, really want more tattoos/piercings, or just really love nonbinary people.

TW Donât kill yourself today
Donât kill yourself today
Because your Netflix trial still has a week left
Donât kill yourself today
Because no one else will finish off the chicken in the fridge
Donât kill yourself today
Because I know for a fact that Starbucks is releasing a new Frappuccino sometime next month
Yes, your mother will miss you
Yes your bully will make a sappy Facebook post about how what a a wonderful person you were
And yes
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem
You know that
Youâve known that
Everyone and anyone has been shoving that down your throat since they first learned what the word suicide meant
So donât kill yourself
Until you finish your shampoo and conditioner at the same time
Donât kill yourself
Until Doctor Who is finally cancelled
Donât kill yourself
Until you tell someone your best pasta recipeÂ
Donât kill yourselfÂ
Because I will keep coming up with reasons for you not to
And I need you
To hear all of them
Donât kill yourself
I love you
Youâre important
Itâs a bad day
Not a bad life
There is more to this
The world will keep spinning on its axis without you
But
Think of all the sunrises youâd miss
I know this sounds pointless
But when youâre sitting in front of everything deadly you own
Revising your goodbyes
There will be too much darknessÂ
To see anything else
But this is not about seeing anything else
This is about turning off the lights
This is about finding the bed instead of the noose
This is about giving yourself one more day
Even if it takes ten thousand of those
One more morningâs
Until
âI canât wait for tomorrowâ
This is about staying alive
Because thereâs gonna be a new Marvel movie
No one should miss that
This is about staying alive
Because the future is comingÂ
And itâs ready for you
I donâ t need you to see it
I just need you to believe you can make itÂ
Until then
- Hannah Dains
Everyone needs to see this. I dont care what kind of blog you run or what kind of person you are. You can take the few seconds to reblog this. I know some of my followers will need to see this, and so i will reblog for them. Even if its just one or two, they deserve to see this, and to be happy. Always reblog. Always.
I love the juxtaposition of Technoblade and Philza, Blood God and Angel Of Death, standing next to each other, bc its like...
Technoblade: Seven feet tall and muscular, decked out in weapons and gold jewelry, tusks and scars and red eyes, wearing a crown and kingly cloak
Philza: 5â9 scruffy blonde with wings wearing socks and sandals with a bathrobe and a stupid hat
I've seen a lot of people struggling with this, so I have cooked up a little drawing tutorial! I hope you find it informative! :D
Instead of requiring my henchmen to wear matching uniforms, I allow each of them to design their own costume and encourage them all to develop their own unique battle techniques, making each henchperson a minor villain in their own right rather than simply one of a horde
My facility encourages evil career development
Evil apprenticeship
Alright.
Instead of whispered, consider:
murmured
mumbled
muttered
breathed
sighed
hissed
mouthed
uttered
intoned
susurrated
purred
said in an undertone
gasped
hinted
said low
said into someoneâs ear
said softly
said under oneâs breath
said in hushed tones
insinuated
These posts make me unreasonably cranky. So cranky, in fact, that every time a new one of these goddamn things crosses my dash, Iâm just going to dissect them. Both for the edification of newer writers and because fuck these lists.
As mentioned in previous posts: These are not synonyms for whispered. You canât use them interchangeably. Letâs go through them.
âWell,â she whispered, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
The character is speaking in a voice so low itâs become words made of breath, probably because she doesnât want to be heard.
âWell,â she murmured, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
The character is saying this very quietly, but above a whisper. She may be talking to herself.
âWell,â she mumbled, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
The character is speaking under her breath in low enough tones that her words may sound unclear or slurred. Also very possibly talking to herself.
âWell,â she muttered, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
The character is speaking lowly, but more clearly than a mumble. She sounds angry, irritated, or dully frustrated.
âWell,â she breathed, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
Breathing words may mean relief, exasperation, or exhaustion, and sound half like a sigh. Oh, lookâ
âWell,â she sighed, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
The character is almost certainly not happy. Sheâs speaking in a tired, heavy breath.
âWell,â she hissed, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
The characterâs words are coming out in low, very sharp breaths. She sounds angry, irritated, or maybe just in an intense moment.
âWell,â she mouthed, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
The character is using the barest hint of her voice, if any at all. Her lips are silently forming the syllables.
âWell,â she uttered, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
Using uttered in this particular type of descriptive sense actually just sounds awkward. That said, âutterâ sounds like a word that implies speech in low yet strong and loud tones, well-enunciated, like someone preaching.
âWell,â she intoned, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
The tone of her voice is dull and flat, with little variance in pitch. She is saying this without much emotion (intentionally or not).
Fuck âsusurratedâ.
âWell,â she purred, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
The manner sheâs speaking in is silky, smooth, and particularly pleased; quite possibly smug. In this particular example, this implies she probably does have a choice about [whatever it is] and is being facetious.
âWell,â she said in an undertone, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
This is bad, because an undertone is something that needs describing. Thatâs like saying âher dress was a colorâ.
âWell,â she gasped, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
The character is speaking in a sharp intake of breath, probably brought on by surprise or shock. She could also be short of breath, being strangled or something.
âWell,â she hinted, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
The character has particular (duh) hint-hint tones in her voice as she speaks to someone. One can just imagine her leaning over closer to their ear.
âWell,â she said low, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
Her voice has dropped below normal pitch, but is above a whisper. Thereâs a certain amount of dullness in the tone, probably.
âWell,â she said, into his ear, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
This implies nothing about the actual voice, just that sheâs literally speaking right into his ear (perhaps at normal volume, which would be painful). It doesnât, on its own, carry any connotations of tone or emotion.
âWell,â she said softly, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
I have a personal beef with the word âsoftlyâ on account of writers in a certain area of a certain MMO that use that word for fucking everything; speech, movement, touch, footsteps, because it helps to passively describe their character as delicate and pretty or something.
Itâs a personal beef. Thereâs nothing really wrong with the word. Moving on.
Saying something softly implies not only a lowered pitch but a certain gentleness (or at least lack of weight) in tone.
âWell,â she said under her breath, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
This is very like muttered, murmured, etc â it sounds (dur) breathier, and is more likely to imply a person talking to themselves.
âWell,â she said in hushed tones, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
Now youâre getting closer to an equal term for âwhisperedâ; hushed tones could mean that, or half-whispered. It does imply a certain amount of whisperiness or breathiness. It also implies a deliberate attempt to be quiet.
âWell,â she insinuated, âI suppose I havenât got a choice.â
Like with âutteredâ, this feels grammatically weird in that itâs usually a thing a person describes another person as doing (âGreg didnât say it, but he insinuated it!â), but whatever. Itâs similar to hinting; it means youâre trying to imply or subtly convey something, but has nothing to do with actual whispers.
tl;dr Those words are all different, these lists are terrible writing advice and people need to stop pulling tangentially-related words from the thesaurus and saying they all mean the same thing.
as i tell my students:
âuse the precise word, not the word that kinda sorta fits or âsounds more impressiveâ â
use exactly the word you MEAN
THIS THIS THIS OH MY GOD THIS.
I fucking hate those lists, they drive me batshit. Put down the thesaurus and back away slowly.
fuck âsussuratedâ
âSussurationâ is the continuous, ambient, non-verbal sound that comes from wind or water interacting with solid matter. A person canât have an intelligible conversation that answers to that description. Precision is important.
I got to â sussuratedâ and started angry scrolling getting ready to make this exact point.
I genuinely love lists of words but for the love of me, stop telling people to nonsensically throw words around just because youâre afraid to repeat âsaidâ or âwhisperedâ.
