Gender Census [dead account]Apr 27, 2022

Hello, new Fediverse members!

This is the account for the annual Gender Census (https://gendercensus.com), a survey for anyone whose gender isn't fully expressed or encompassed by the M/F gender binary. In 2021 there were 44,000 participants!

The survey's purpose is to make free-to-read reports about the language we use to describe ourselves: identity words, pronouns, and titles.

The data is then used in business, academia and activism.

I messed up the first migration (didn't realize I wouldn't be able to edit the profile name or add this post) so it'll be in about a month or so. Working on it!)

Set up a new @ on aus.social - I'll be moving my account there soon.

I'm probably going to try one of the more locally-focused servers rather than an art server (since I'm terrible at taking photos of what I make, and also that's just...not really how I roll I guess.)

Hnh. I guess I should think about moving instances, again.

(If I do I'll try to give everyone enough of a heads-up, although I think I'm following a lot of now-inactive accounts, so...)

Folks, I'm gonna ask some questions here about Mastodon instances and ActivityPub in general. I'd appreciate any answer or boost you folks can give me. ;-)

* Anyone know instances geared towards creative writing, and science fiction & fantasy fandoms?

* What is the current state of alternative ActivityPub implementations beyond Mastodon server? I'm aware of Pleroma.

The second question is because I might be considering running a server and I'd like something simpler than official Masto server

I took another skim of vest fabrics, considering that it's for a winter event so wool might be an option.

Except, nice smooth suiting wools and crepes come in such incredibly boring colours. Or floral prints.

I get why, but it's also frustrating that wool crepes especially come in such muted colours when IME it's not a very warm fabric - it's at best maybe suitable for the warm end of autumn, for layering. It's not a winter fabric.

From some quick searching, it looks like a wide spread collar is the go? But a band collar is still potentially fine.

I think I'll stick with the band collar though, it's easier and I am not at all confident with shirt collars.

Has anyone got a collection of guides on how to add image descriptions for all of the different mastodon/fediverse clients?

It's not an obvious feature, and I want to make it easy for people to do. But I don't have an iPhone so I could only help with Android apps..
