Read my two letters to the #UK:
1. Protests: I call for a review of the legal framework and the reconsideration of provisions in the Crime & Policing Bill that could restrict freedom of assembly.
2. Trans people: I warn against exclusion&zero-sum approaches

Quite a bodying, here, for the UK, from the Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe.

🏮 He points out the Supreme Court ignored human rights (which breaches its legal obligations)
🏮 He says, in effect agreeing with Lucy Powell, Parliament should be involved...

If only instruments could talk,

As for other reading
There’s a few paperbacks I’m waiting to see cheap, and price will determine the order I read them.

And digitally I’m working through The Well of Loneliness, and also Trans/Rad/Fem

I’ve had a good run with audiobooks lately, and I’d happily pick up some of my recent listens in paperback should the opportunity arise.

Tho I’ve no plans for what I’ll listen to next

At last finished listening to Watership Down.
Strange how a scope of just a few hills can be so epic in the eyes of a rabbit

Somehow the first two times I posted this the picture corrupted.
Third time lucky I guess (also I re-took the photo).

Sorry if this spammed your feeds for a minute 😅

Thinking of cover songs. Sometime earlier this year, I realised “Bring It All Back” by S Club 7 would be absolutely phenomenal if covered by a sad and aging country singer.
A two panel comic sketched in pencil.
Panel 1 a seated cowboy says “I’d like to share a lil ditty about hope. a hope I wish I had as a boy many years ago”

Panel 2, bust of cowboy on verge of tears singing “don’t stop, never give up, hold ya head high and reach the top. Let the world see what you have got, bring it all back to you”

Somehow the photo corrupted the first time I posted this, hopefully it works out this time

Tainted Love was first recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964, with a few subsequent rerecordings

The 80’s synth-laden gender swapped cover by Soft Cell is far more famous

But it’s top notch song in either case!

Without saying Hurt, fav Cover Song?

EHRC handed it over before conference season, tho we are still waiting for the guidance to be put before parliament

Got me thinking about defunct tv series, like Biker Mice From Mars or Steet Sharks.

Has there really not been a new episode of Robot Wars since 2018?

Who knows if I’ll commit to making an actual meme, its probably hard to find high quality logos for anything sufficiently dead

Loving ppl’s Magic: The Gathering 2027 lineup memes.
Some go with unbridled absurdity, and others go for surprisingly plausible media franchises.

I have a big backlog project written in Ink, which stalled a while back as I couldn't quite get everything I wanted working. I was looking through the InkJam resources list and this web template was listed.

Does pretty much everything I need!

I often return to the thought, that transition has lead me to be kinder to myself.

There’s absolutely still troubles and tribulations and traumas in my life, but that one detail - being kinder to myself - has done a lot for me

I can answer Q1 (to a point) off the top of my head.

Wait time between 1st & 2nd Appt has decreased from 14 months to 8 months between 23/24 and 24/25.

Incomplete data set as not all services collect this, but 10/15 services.

The data collection aspects of it are frustrating.
Like currently the NHS requires minimum 2 appointments to diagnose dysphoria, and then maybe prescribe hormones.

Tho for me personally there was a roughly 7 year gap between diagnosis and starting HRT.

I hope I’m an outlier, I wish we had data
