Hey friends,

Hope you’re hanging in there. It’s Ruby’s birthday and I have tiny festivities planned, so I’m gonna keep things quick:

The results are in from the 2022 Gender Census, which asked nearly 40,000 nonbinary people what words they use to describe themselves. There’s a short recap here but I enjoyed the full analysis. You can also sign up to participate next year.
You’ve only got a few days left to shop our August merch collection. No presh at all, but it does mean a lot to the artists when you buy a sticker or whatever. :)
Ozzy and I are hard at work making elaborate spreadsheets of potential guests for the next zillion seasons of Gender Reveal. Turns out that there are a lot of rad trans people, who knew???? Thanks for keeping us employed so we can continue to make new episodes of the show!
We’ve got a bonus episode coming out in the next few days, so keep an eye out for that.

OK, here’s Links & Stuff:

I spent like an entire week watching this very thorough roast of Dear Evan Hansen (2021) in tiny installments every time I opened my computer.
I’ve also been reading this in installments and I’m not quite finished yet but … wow!!!!
Friend of the show Joe Osmundson (of Food 4 Thot and Virology fame) wrote a long piece on monkeypox and whose responsibility it is to keep us alive.
Speaking of Joe and monkeypox, make sure you see a bleb when you get your shot!
Ed Yong’s latest is about how Americans tended to die way too young even before Covid.

On a lighter note:

Mckenzee sent me this list of twin films (not like Parent Trap… just click it, you’ll see) and idk if it’s interesting to you but maybe!
I demand videos of Frankie the traveling goat.
I’m so sorry but this is me.
Armadillo!

That’s it for this week. Everyone please say happy birthday to my heathen daughter.

And here's one of the best moments of my life, which took place a few days ago:
