Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch
“Once you get troops on the streets, it’s only a matter of time before it goes bad. Some kid throws a stone, next minute there’s houses on fire and people getting killed.”

Given the utter shitshow that's been various people in power's response to the existence of intersex folk right now, this feels like a petition that could do with a good number of signatures: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
Petition: Add intersex to the Equality Act as a protected characteristic
We want the government to make sex variations a protected characteristic under the Equality Act.

I’ve been making my way through the Welfare Reform Bill and this paragraph on the gov.uk website is genuinely disgusting.
Receiving a decent disability benefits rate “encourages sickness”, does it? Funny, I thought it just enabled severely ill and disabled people to eat.

The head of the UKs Equality and Human Rights Commission just said that the European Convention on Human Rights Article 8 right to privacy doesn't apply to trans people.
Article 8 is why the UK was forced to create the gender recognition act by the European Court of human Rights in the first place.

I missed yesterday because of being out and about, and I spent today at my local Pride, so here's a delayed set of Pride Sloths!

Shanks Family Curse is about an alienated kid whose guardians try to cheer them up with a day out at sea. Hilarity ensues. There's pirates and sea monsters and a genie and stuff. I'd like to point out I drew this cover before seeing Our Flag Means Death.

Struggling with social cues as an autistic person isn't necessarily missing them entirely. It's sometimes being painfully aware that someone's annoyed with you... knowing you're making it worse with every word... and having absolutely NO idea why it's happening or how to fix it.
