IM LAUGHING SO HARD I DIDNT THINK SEXUAL DESIRE WAS A REAL THING LIKE I ALWAYS SAW PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT

Shuffle Music Meme

You can tell a lot about someone by the music they listen to. Hit shuffle on your iPod/iPhone/iTunes/media player and write down the first 10 songs. Then pass this onto 10 people.

[Image ID: A half bound copy of Leave the Children Behind by montparnasse. The book is bound in dark blue bookcloth and paper patterned with silver birch trees drawn in a watercolour style, the background a lighter navy colour scattered with small bronze stars.

The second photo shows the silver endpapers, and the third and fourth photos particular details of the book: the first page, which is headed by a vintage sketch of phases of the moon and a drop cap in the shape of a crescent moon, and a close up of one of the scene breaks further on in the book, which is divided up a tiny first quarter moon. End ID.]

Sometimes projects don’t work out the way you want them to! And that’s fine, totally okay. I didn’t shed a tear when the first set of endpapers ripped in the middle of gluing, but it was a close run thing. No title page photo for that reason cause gluing it twice made the page all wrinkly, god bless.

This fic has been living on my computer as a pdf for many years now, so despite some setbacks with the casing, I’m glad to be able to hold it in my hands. It’s a very beautiful story - I always think of r/s in terms of silver and blue and wanted that to carry over into the typesetting with all the stars and moons. The moon dividers actually go through two whole cycles over the course of the story, changing incrementally with every scene break, which is probably my favourite thing about this round of typesetting.

265 pages and typeset in Traditional Arabic

[IMAGE: A 9x9 aesthetic layout; the images are as follows, top to bottom, left to right: A person launching a Chinese lantern, A crumpled up piece of paper with “Don’t Forget Me” written on it, a bed of flowers of varying shades of purple, “You are good enough” written on a purple note, A white neon light in the shape of a realistic heart, A hand covered in purple, blue and white paint, A hand rising out of purple and blue smoke, A notebook and palette of purple paints, A newspaper with “You are born and then you die, but in between you can do anything you want. It’s society that creates rules for us, but you can break out of that” in enlarged text.]

The 2021 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The eighth annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 10th March 2021.

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, retweet this tweet, boost this Mastodon post, check out this post on Reddit, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks like Facebook. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 24,000 responses last year.

Survey URL: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/gendercensus2021/

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!
