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!

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

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."
