Yummy Yummy Bias

This is my way of coping with grad school. He/it

PLEASE tag me in posts talking about statistics, data, or rhetoric. Send me papers or articles. Screenshot some interesting arguments. I long to pick apart the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ and all the little technicalities available to me.

Also surveys. I LOVE survey design, please ask me to critique surveys

The 2026 Gender Census is now open!

[ survey.gendercensus.com ]

The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2026.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

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!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

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!

Alan Turing and Ada of Lovelace did not invent computer science for the girls and the gays to claim they can't do math

We’ve talked a little bit about theory but none of that matters when you refuse to tell us what the fuck you want! Give me a direction here!

if a number divided by itself is always equal to 1, surely this holds true for 0/0 as well

Theres a degree of difficulty associated with visualizing data with more than three dimensions. On the basis of there are only three dimensions of space in real life. This makes conceptualizing and comprehending rotating factor analysis models with three or more factors Really Fucking Difficult

Universal healthcare is a study from 2020. This number is correct

Universal background checks for gun ownership is a study from 2023. This number is correct.

Sick, maternal, and paternal leave are from a 2017 study. These numbers are correct.

Free childcare is from a 2022 parent confidence rapport. This number is correct.

Minimum wage is fro ma 2021 study. This number is partially correct. This study proposed a $15 min wage and asked whether respondents supported this. 62% were completely in favour. 71% of the respondents who disagreed still support raising the minimum wage, just to less than $15. The total percentage of people in favour of raising minimum wage was therefore 89%.

Free public college is from a 2021 study. This number is correct.

I cannot find a study claiming 73% support for funding social security. I can find a study saying 79% of respondents do not want social security to be reduced in any way.

Wealth tax is from a 2024 navigator study. This number is correct.

These numbers are either correct or too low.
