Found the younger child not-in-bed but dancing around his room, using his pyjamas as perhaps some kind of streamers or flags.

Queer Coded ๐
Paraphrased from a conversation in a Manchester pub last night -
Them: Your [dyed blue] hair is queer-coded, right? Like... you're telegraphing you're queer?
Me: I mean... I'm also wearing a pride rainbow t-shirt and my watch strap is a 'bi pride' flag. I don't feel like I'm being subtle.

Hanging with my team at our meetup in Istanbul, this lunchtime I needed to do some accessibility testing...
