The 2024 Gender Census Is Now Open!

The 2024 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 11th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th June 2024.

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.

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.

For the curious, you can also spy on some graphs and demographic data for the incoming responses here.

Thank you so much!

How: Please reblog this post! No need to follow or like (unless you want to!), winner to be selected by random number generator.

This same giveaway is also running on Twitter, because there are actually two bags, so there will be two winners! Feel free to participate in both, if you so wish!

Winner will not be announced publicly (just in case someone is looking to get a gift for someone else), so please be sure that you can receive messages!

I do not want to remove it from its packaging, but this is what it looks like! There was also a sample available at the exhibition gift shop, and it was a lot bigger than I'd imagined.

I'd thought the round parts on the front were going to be a hard plastic but they are actually a very soft rubber!

It is very cute, and as far as I know it is only available for purchase via the Twisted Wonderland exhibition (at this time).

Twst Merch Giveaway: Light-Up Magical Pen (Twst Fes version)

What: One light-up magical pen with a "Twisted Wonderland Fes" strap.

The "magestone" part of this pen can light up in seven different, interchangeable colors. These were particularly fun at Twst Fes, where the audience would change the colors of their light depending upon what seiyuu was speaking at the time.

This pen (still in packaging, seen above) was actually purchased from the Twisted Wonderland Exhibition in Yokohama rather than from Twst Fes itself, but "Twisted Wonderland Fes" is written on the strap. It is also available via Aniplex's Online Store.

Who: Anyone can participate!

Shipping is free of charge to any country except where the post office says no, which (to my knowledge) is the following places: Yemen, Guatemala, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Chad, Bolivia, Liberia, Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Libya, Russia, Ukraine.

Hello there :D I just started this art account. I'll be moving stuff from my instagram over here in the next few months.

This was a commission for a classmate in uni. Queen Titania of the fae realm in their d&d campaigns interpretation :)
