I drew these pages as part of the EU-CONEXUS - Comic Strip in Sciencie initiative, which aims to inform non-expert audiences about the findings of promoted research projects.

In my case, I had the pleasure to work with Alonso Sanchez, a researcher from my city, on the topic of walkability of our towns and how it affects our environment and health.

Check out the full project and magazine here!

The 2025 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 12th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 30th August 2025.

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.

If you can't wait for survey numbers, you can click here for a public spreadsheet of non-secret info with graphs as it comes in, updated manually a few times per day.

Thank you so much!

Cartoonists for Palestine is a volunteer group of cartoonists, writers and editors. We are creating an archive of comics about Palestine to help create an international community of artists and to shape public understanding of the ongoing genocide. Since launching in March 2024, we have published over 100 comics on our online archive. We are now fundraising to publish a print anthology, which will be a 200-page, full-color book of comics created by over 50 artists from around the world. Pre-order it here, or through Gofundme.

Below the cut is information about the project, about preorders, finances, and wholesale orders.

About preorders:

Through this campaign, you can preorder copies of the book. We will be publishing the first edition of book in October 2024 through Crucial Comix. We will be taking preorders through October 30th, 2024. Books will be printed in November 2024 and ship by the end of the year. A PDF of the book will also be available on the Cartoonists for Palestine website in November as a free download for anyone.

About the project:

Comics have no walls nor borders. All around the world, in newspapers, magazines and on mobile phone screens, comics speak about the most important topics of the day and represent an opportunity to reject the boundaries that were assigned to us. We are not powerless. Through comics, we can shape the narratives told about ourselves and our world—and in that way, we hope to provoke change.

This archive seeks to center personal responses to Gaza within the cartoonist community, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, state-identification, place of birth, or place of current existence. This archive rejects Islamophobia, antisemitism, chauvinism, and hate of any and all kinds. This anthology embraces social justice, solidarity, equality, and unity of any and all kinds.

You can preorder the book here at Crucial or by donating to the GoFundMe campaign.

Why a book?

A book can shape both public opinion and the historical record. Cartoonists have been publishing their work on Instagram and other social media, where it’s often censored and can be hard to find. This book collects dozens of comics and puts them into a format where they can reach places like schools, libraries, and bookstores, where they can be for years from now. It’s powerful to have the voices of all these artists in conversation with each other on the pages of a book, rather than everyone speaking just to their own audience.

Finances:

Artists have donated their comics to the online archive, and we have offered each artist in the book a $100 honorarium for licensing their work in this print anthology.

All proceeds from the book, beyond the cost of printing, shipping, and artist honorariums, will be donated to Palestinian aid organizations. The groups we are fundraising for with this first edition are Medical Aid for Palestinians, ANERA, and Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. We have contacted these organizations, which are based in Palestine, and received their approval to donate proceeds from this book.

Our fundraising goal of $15,000 will cover a print run of 1000 copies. Anything over $15,000 we raise will be donated directly and also once we cover the costs of printing and shipping this book run, we will begin to donate the proceeds. We will donate the proceeds periodically and update the “financial details” section of our site with receipts.

The money from preorders will be handled by Crucial Comix, who will be arranging the printing and shipping of the finished book. If you have any questions or ideas about this project, please feel free to get in touch via our website.

Contributors include:

Among the 50 contributors are: Adam Whittier, Al Benbow, BeneDí, Cooper Lit, Dimitrea Tokunbo, Douglas Lambert, Eli Valley, Ethan Heitner, Holly Casio, Jen Camper, Jen Sorensen, Jess Peng, Julia Mata, Kaitlyn Quach, Layal Safieddine, Madeline Berger, Maia Kobabe, Matt Bors, Melissa Mendes, Mohammad Sabaaneh, Rachel Deutsch, Safdar Ahmed, Sam Nakahira, Sarah Firth, Solomon J. Brager, Soolagna Majumdar, Trinidad Escobar, Zhen, Kazimir Lee

About the cover:

The cover for this book features an illustration by artist Mohammad Saba’aneh, which is used with permission from his graphic narrative Power Born of Dreams: My Story is Palestine (Street Noise Books).

Wholesale copies:

If you would like to wholesale copies of the book (such as for a bookstore or institution), please contact us to determine how much you should donate to receive the copies you need. Email: [email protected]

Here's an exciting graph, to show that I am working on this year's Gender Census report. :D

This one shows that they/them popularity is moving at the speed of time - the popularity curve among age groups moves by about one year per year. This suggests that liking they/them is a sticky trend connected to age.

But also, older age groups are warming to it ahead of schedule - the appeal is spreading oldwards, but apparently not youngwards.

I am… not a statistician, linguist or sociologist of any kind, and I apologise to everyone for my extremely weird explanation.

Edit: By popular request of one person (@ophrys-apifera), a slightly different arrangement:
