Gonna do the alt text in the morning because it's 1am and I'm sleepy, but here's my take

#Eurovision

A very quick ticky-box survey that should only be taken by people with EXCELLENT TASTE (that's you), for giving 7 Tradescantia cultivars their official names: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSduNrZNGYTFH6QRZSjwws2dyizMezrs0lf1t-76QHz6pJOcLA/viewform

I wish Google Forms did ranked choice (and appropriate displaying of results thereof).

Have I told you about my Good News channel on #Signal?

BELTAAAAAAAAANEEEEEE

Look at this picture from the website advertising the biggest Really Useful Box for Kallax, right next to a REAL PICTURE FROM MY HOUSE TAKEN THIS VERY MINUTE featuring the previous not-quite-the-right-shape-or-size old Really Useful Box that I will be upgrading immediately! It's like they KNEW I would be emailing them asking about Kallax boxes! It's like they've been surveilling my living room and taking photos of my unhappy face when I have to get the wrong-shaped boxes out!

@thegiddystitcher YOU UNDERSTAND ME

Greetings! Can I interest you in a heartwarming donation and/or signal boost of this small Welsh town volunteer-organised Pride festival?

https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sara-archer-1

Pride is deeply needed in rural Wales, where being queer can be so isolating. And since it's only small, you get a lot of bang for your buck - 16% of the £750 goal has been raised already. :)

Last year was our first Pride (Balchder in Welsh), and thanks to signal boosts on Mastodon and Tumblr it was fully funded within 24 hours, it was EPIC and the organisers were so chuffed that they COULD NOT EVEN.

Hello UK folks,

Trans people and allies outnumber transphobes by a long, long way. Please express your support for trans people to your MP.

https://www.writetothem.com makes it very easy. You just put your postcode in, and then it tells you who your MP is and gives you a form to send them an email.

Write from the heart, tell them you think trans people should be recognised socially and legally as the sex and gender that they are, not the one they were born as. It doesn't have to be long or eloquent. If you're cisgender, say so.

Make them count us all.

Do you have a brain? Were you born in a hemisphere? Then this survey needs YOU!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdLm0kRO91cESux9maqWeo8o10CXHGBzZFSRkqPMUNroDX0oQ/viewform

If you were born in the southern hemisphere or you were born in September, February or June then you are underrepresented and this survey *especially* wants to hear from you!

See some realtime stats/graphs as they come in here:

There are 988 responses so far, 41% of the goal.

Sorry about all the almost-identical posts about this one survey today - I forgot to take my ADHD meds yesterday and they're the kind that you have to take every day or your brain falls out, and reader, my BRAIN is falling OUT. :D
