The 2019 Intersex Inclusion Survey seeks more people to fill it out, even people who are neither #intersex nor LGBTQ, since part of its purpose is to inquire what people tend to think or believe about intersex people. As tends to happen with surveys like this, a bunch of terfs ended up sending offensive responses to it. It would be helpful to add other voices than theirs. The survey will be open until the end of 2019.

I hear rustling as I am about to open my bedroom door. I freeze.
It finally happened, as I was warned it would. I kept them waiting too long, ignored them too long. They have gone feral, wild.
They call for me.
As is their right.
I open the door, and all my unread books swarm me.

It's the application to meet politicians to discuss how the EU's copyright filters (Article 13/17) will be implemented. I worry about a backroom deal struck between Facebook/Google that excludes the next generation of open Net services: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/organisation-stakeholder-dialogue-application-article-17-directive-copyright-digital-single ..

Men wearing tuxedos are always boring for me to look at because it's just the same suit over and over again. It's like a crowd of penguins with human heads attached.

Let's figure out fancy formal event outfits for men so they can show off too! (and more importantly, stop boring me)
