What a busy year it was!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We started it with just three language versions – now there's ten of them,
|
|
|
|
|
|
with even more being at various stages of preparation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We started with a humble 3,6k weekly visits from 2,6k unique visitors
|
|
|
|
|
|
– last week it was 223k visits from 144k unique visitors! That's over 50x increase! 🤯
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the moment we host 277k cards created by 335k registered accounts
|
|
|
|
|
|
(in January we'll start removing those that don't have a card and just hoard the username).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We added plenty of new features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
[the Queer Calendar](/calendar), along with its [Mastodon](https://tech.lgbt/@QueerCalendar) and [Twitter](https://twitter.com/CalendarQueer) bots,
|
|
|
|
|
|
[the Glossary of Queer Terminology](/terminology),
|
|
|
|
|
|
[the Dictionary of Inclusive Language](https://zaimki.pl/inkluzywny) (only in Polish for now),
|
|
|
|
|
|
new login and security options,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and tons of smaller features, improvements, optimisations and bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We pushed 1876 commits to our repository!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of our efforts are focused on the Polish version,
|
|
|
|
|
|
where it's more about establishing and promoting nonbinary and gender-inclusive in the first place,
|
|
|
|
|
|
rather than just hosting cards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In February, we conducted the [first census of Polish nonbinary language](https://zaimki.pl/blog/spis-2021)
|
|
|
|
|
|
and got whooping 2211 responses!
|
|
|
|
|
|
We used the results, along with opinions of experts, to prepare our [Manifest](https://zaimki.pl/blog/manifest)
|
|
|
|
|
|
with which we're taking a more active role in shaping the language
|
|
|
|
|
|
by trying to help Polish enbies pick their pronouns despite their language not having any normative, “default” neutral option.

|
|
|
|
We've also collected submissions to [a zine](https://zaimki.pl/zin) about discovering one's gender identity and living as a nonbinary person.
|

|
|
|
|
Our efforts to popularise nonbinary forms seem to be working – the number of books, tv shows, games etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
that use them and that we managed to find grew from mere 20 in 2019, to 78 in 2020, to 133 in 2021!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our team was [invited to various media outlets](https://zaimki.pl/media) 14 times,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and was mentioned in the media at least 36 times, including being made fun of by the government-controlled right-wing TV station 😉
|
|
|
|
|
|
We also consulted on multiple academic papers and on the Polish translation of Mark Gevisser's book _The Pink Line_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Among all the terrible things happening in the world, at least for our humble project it was a great year.
|
|
|
|
|
|
And we wish all our queer siblings that the coming one brings them plenty of happiness, joy, acceptance, inclusivity and equality ❤️
