Would you like to chip in a couple of £/€/$ to help me upgrade my tech so that I can run the Gender Census again in 2022?
A big thank you to everyone who's donated and shared so far - 25% raised, and well on the way to... putting a deposit down on a house, apparently??

On the downside, Crowdfunder have scaled the prediction for the final amount raised down to quite a fancy car, which I will obviously get in purple with yellow, white and black go-faster stripes.
On the upside, 50% of the way to a good computer! 🎉✨ Thank you!
The crowdfunder just went over 75%, with 54 supporters 🤯
Today I adjusted the goal down from £1,300 to £1,200 because I received a donation of £100 by bank transfer, which means there's only £30 and 3 days to go!

I am very thankful to the people who donated even though the goal had been met, because it helped cover Crowdfunder fees and also accommodate my being a doofus about the laptop prices. 😅

TL;DR: I just bought my new laptop, and it arrives in 10-15 days!
Stay tuned for the UK results report, and also swearing via my personal Twitter account while I install Excel and then learn how to use it...
The new laptop is here and it's very swish. I'm enjoying the bigger screen and the nice dark grey and everything happening when I click/press, instead of 0.8-45 seconds later! Thank you everyone! 😁🖤
