question for uk trans folk
how do you feel about the 2021 census gathering information on trans ppl?
you will be able to record on the census, for the first time, your gender identity as distinct from your agab (tho very clumsily). possssssssibly useful to know how many trans ppl are in the uk? but i am very cynical about the government having us On A List 😬
money, PSA (uk only)
So it turns out that if you were forced to work from home because of lockdown you can claim a small but useful tax credit - £60 or £120 depending on your tax bracket. You can apply online - details and eligibility check here:
Now Playing: "Baby Got Quack" - Sir Ducks-a-lot (duck posting picture captions!)
Both pictures are of the river beside our garden, taken low to the ground and from the garden itself, on the grassy bank. There are seven white pekin cross ducks, one of which is male and larger, and one melanistic, male pekin cross duck.
The six smaller white and off-white ducks are also pekin crosses, but all girls. One picture shows all eight wandering about in procession, the other is them heading to the water.
Now Playing: "Baby Got Quack" - Sir Ducks-a-lot (duck posting!)
So, Dusty, the duck who we think might have been half wild mallard given his colouration, was too nervous despite two weeks of careful care and feeding, and was making Yin and Yang stressed and nervous too, so they were fighting a fair bit.
Also turns out all three were male ducks. We gave him to a duck rescue place, though also picked up some young females in his place. Meet the girls! (Picture Description in replies)
Cutie Honey has one of the weirdest demographic planning stories in #anime history.
Originally planned to be a proto-magical girl anime for girls it starred a shape-shifting gynoid (female android) with stories that would mostly focus on love and relationship shenanigans.
But then the time slot got moved from the shoujo to the shounen hour and the show had to be adapted for male audiences so they spiced it up with action, fighting and a lot of sexy. And because Go Nagai was basically anime's dirty uncle the "sexy" meant a lot of full frontal naked flashes and inappropriate groping.
But THEN the ratings came back and they were surprised to find out most of the audience was women!
As it turns out women do enjoy watching a sexy, capable superheroine who gets in sexually charged adventures.
So now Cutie Honey is one of those shows that give marketers a headache because they can't work out just who this thing is for and why.
