Do you have a brain? Were you born in a hemisphere?

It's only three radio button questions, it's SO FAST. 2 mins, tops.

Open until at least Monday 14th April 2025.

And if you want to spy on some public statistics as the results come in, please click here.

It's the end of day 3, and there have been 1,268 responses (really good), but I would still really love to get more responses from people born in the Southern Hemisphere:

The green rows are the less represented months. That's January, February and September. If you were born in these months, please consider doing the survey for my personal spreadsheet gratification. Thank you. <3

So anyway, I'm posting this progress report now, at 1:30am UK time, because according to xkcd: Now, it's business hours in Australia and New Zealand. (Hi everyone!!)

Thanks everyone for all the reblogs and survey responses so far, I appreciate it. :)

It's been almost 2 days since this brain/birthdays survey opened, and there have been over 1,100 responses. :)

Over 6 times as many respondents are from the Northern Hemisphere as the Southern Hemisphere, so if you're in the Southern Hemisphere and/or have followers who are, please do consider a swift reblob.

People born in February, June and September are underrepresented so far. If you were born in one of these months or you have a friend/family member who was, please do the survey and share the link.

One of the stranger things about training brand new nurses is explaining how to min max small talk. It feels very weird to coach people on how to chat.

if I make and post an insanely detailed powerpoint on the twenty different equations I run mentally during casual conversation to make it flow better, everyone has to say that it's sexy and cool and not weird at all

remember, everyone promised to be cool! also disclaimer disclaimer disclaimer assume I said all the things you'd say to be like "i know human interaction is complicated, i know some of what i listed here would be very annoying to some people," and all that

I love everything about this. I love that these are real practical steps. I love seeing the behind-the-scenes glimpse at the healthcare profession. I love that I'm not the only nerd who has systematically flow-charted human behavior in my head to be less awkward when interacting with people, AND that I'm not the only nerd to post it on Tumblr.com.

A+ advice all around.

It's been about 24 hours and there are now just over 700 responses.

Things really kicked off around 7:30pm when I abused my moderate Tumblr fame and reblogged it to @gendercensus:

Months of birth are overall fairly evenly distributed, with fewer in February (understandable, it's teeny) and more in November:

Respondents born in the Southern Hemisphere are only about 12% at the moment, so if you're in the Southern Hemisphere and you've not taken the survey yet, please do - and then share with some friends, perhaps? :)

I am in the Northern Hemisphere myself, so perhaps it is just taking a while to get all the way down south. 🤔 Thank you to everyone who has shared this with friends, the results are pretty interesting so far and I am looking forward to sharing them.

If you don't want to see this boosted every 3 hours for the next three days, this is the hashtag to mute:

UK petition: Make private flyers pay for their carbon emissions

UK Government must legislate to: - Tax jet fuel - Increase other taxes & duties on planes with few passengers - Require fuel for outbound flights to be bought in the UK to avoid tax evasion and curb carbon emissions - Require private jets to carbon offset From Jan‘22-Oct‘23, private jets of 200 of the world's richest people emitted the same amount of carbon as almost 40,000 Britons. In 2022 alone they made 27793 flights - just 0.5% of the 5.3m private flights that year, while public airlines formed only 7% of UK emissions. Right now jet fuel isn’t taxed at all but we think it could raise billions in tax income to improve people’s lives. We think this data show the disproportionate impact of the privileged few. We believe the government need to act to bring an end to this.

that thing where i want to help other people because i feel bad, like, the rescue/fixing impulse, i'm thinking about how strangely back-to-front that is.

so you're trying to help someone else, because you want to help yourself, and so you're being selfish - you want to fix it for them whether they want that or not, to make yourself feel better. if you really wanted to help them, you would help yourself feel better first.

so helping them first is selfish, and helping yourself first is not selfish??? who wrote this

congratulations to voyager for portraying the first gay teenager homophobic parent relationship through 2 middle aged guys played by the same guy at the same time
