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 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 ❤️
