I have been relatively chirpy today, but right now I am fuming. I'll get to that in a moment. First point: the UK census has made a vague stab at disability access but not done a very good job of it, and I am currently trying to kick up a fuss about this. I'm accessing the Scotland census, and that is where particular problems are. Dreadful colour contrast on the website (white text on pale pastel backgrounds), and the only way to get an alternative format census is to ring a phone number which puts you through a very long telephone tree. I can't cope with telephone trees due to having Auditory Processing Disorder, and many other people can't handle them either. So I've been talking to the Scotland census people (useless), various disability organisations, and the BBC!
The fuming is because I posted a very careful version of this on a certain nameless quilting board (not on LJ), put up warnings that it discussed female sexuality, didn't show the quilt directly but rather linked to it, and was generally tactful and careful. I got a number of warm responses, including a couple of good artistic ideas. Then the board mod deleted the post, and when I politely asked for an explanation, I got this.
if it requires a warning it doesn't belong here.
you posted it knowing it was going to offend people.
we also do not allow posts of directly or indirectly policitical, socio-political or religious content and/or purpose.
this is a quilting board. your post had no proper place here whatsoever.
Harrumph. The quilt is pretty damn subtle, and even if it weren't, I do not like the implication that the human body is inherently obscene and should not be discussed. I can't think of anything political about the post, let alone religious. And if she thinks that stopping child marriage, FGM and the like is something controversial, then I tremble for humanity.
