Our latest #meta-analysis, based on 20 studies of 3,000+ participants, indicates that efforts to reduce #biphobia have had limited success, with most studies having little or no substantial effect 🔵🟣 #bisexuality

While watching the vintage upscaling show “Find It, Fix It, Flog It”

Host: Before we came along, it was in a right state.
Me, confused: Huh? If the previous state was all right, then what is the point of fixing it??
Him the Englishman: *shakes his head*

The Sleeping Beauty- my latest cartoon for @theguardian.com

Title: The Sleeping Beauty

Panel 1: A knight on a horse spots a castle behind a great hedge of thorns and says "I've never noticed that before"

Panel 2 and 3: The knight enters the castle with sword drawn and finds a guard slumped on a bench. "Everyone's asleep?" he says to himself.

Panel 4 and 5: The knigt approaches a room marked LIBRARY and goes in. The room is empty and he murmurs "So lovely and quiet in here."

Panel 6 and 7: He sits in a comfortable chair and says "I'll read for a while, then explore the rest of the castle". He leafs through a book and yawns then drops off to sleep.

Panel 8: The sound of his gentle snoring rises from the castle.

Our latest meta-analysis, based on 22 studies of 7,000+ bisexual participants, shows bi people experience worse mental health the more they experience anti-bi discrimination. And the effect is stronger when discrimination is coming from heterosexual people 🔵🟣 #bisexuality
