I want to make a list of *short stories* (any genre) published by intersex authors in 2025 & hopefully going forward. I've been meaning to do this for a while, and I think now there are plenty of stories. If you have some stories, let me know / if not, please repost to spread the word? Thank you!

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

For every €1 of public money invested in the pilot, society received €1.39 in return The net cost of the BIA pilot went from €105m to under €72m due to tax generated and savings on social welfare paymentsIt also finds that recipients’ arts-related income increased by over €500 per month on average, while their income from non-arts work decreased by around €280. Dependence on social protection declined, with recipients receiving €100 less per month on average, and 38 percentage points less likely to receive Jobseeker’s payments.

Every 4th of July, I take the time to read "What, to the Slave, is the Fourth of July." Let us begin: "I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. I am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us."

(1852) Frederick Douglass, "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth Of July"

"The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green." Happy Lottery day to you and yours.

The SC granted interim bail to Mahmudabad. Even a superficial or mechanical reading of the sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita shows that Mahmudabad’s post does not contain the elements necessary to establish these offences. Vineet Bhalla writes

Ali Khan Mahmudabad’s social media posts do not meet the standards or even definitions of the stringent provisions invoked against him.
