I’m your friendly ace scientist!

this ace week please remember that sex replused and sex favorable aces are equally valid and that we shouldnt pit them against each other just to favor the allos

“I was with you, until you said ‘pregnant people.’”

I get this a lot. I’m an abortion provider, and the CEO and President of an org known for abortion advocacy. Let’s talk about why I use inclusive language — and why I’m not stopping. 🧵

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

I honestly find myself so disgusted at her response.

It's always the marginalized that are expected to compromise with the bigots so that the centrists don't need to feel uncomfortable about their choices.

I will be presenting the work I did on my recently published paper in the American Naturalist, Chemical mate choice copying in Drosophila melanogaster.

Want to support a #queerscientist? I’m headed to the Entomological Society of America’s conference in November and need assistance.

I met one of my academic heroes today, and it was everything I wanted it to be. 🥰

Relatable.

Listened to Ep1 of Critical Role: Campaign 4 yesterday on my drive up to IL. I went into it not feeling very confident about how I’d feel about so many players, but BLM really handled it well! I’m excited to see character progression and watch the story unfold.

I know it's hard, but you have to outlive the family members who would misgender you at your funeral.

You have to.

Beautiful!

Two views of a bronze and silver planthopper with a long nose in my hand. On the left, my hand is outstretched and the planthopper is perched on it, ready to jump. On the right, I am holding the planthopper upside down so you can see the ventral details.

Proudhopper, bronze and 925 sterling silver, second edition, completely reengineered. 6.5 months to make—I have a day job, but this took far longer than expected as I learned to cast, those wings in particular! Based on actual planthoppers (Fulgoridae). I’m as proud of him as he is of his nose ❤️

7 years ago I got my double nostrils pierced. Now I have 7 facial piercings. 🥰

First day of Biological Clocks, where we’ll explore the bio clocks that regulate daily, seasonal, and annual rhythms, with emphasis on the neuroendocrine mechanisms, development, and adaptive significance of various cycles. ☺️🐝

My wife bought me your blue carpenter bee print, and it’s still my favorite piece of art that I own. 💙 I look forward to owning many more!

I experience this too when I forget to take my allergy meds. 😤 One of my least favorite sensations.

I really like the look of irregular pearls! I think it makes the piece more interesting to look at.

Over a month ago I was in an accident in the Bloobaru, and she’s been in the shop ever since. I just got her back today, and she’s lovely! It’s so good to have my #Subaru back.

The pink is so fun!

Does anyone have a fav tote for carrying a 15in laptop + extras w/ space for a water bottle/umbrella? I'm looking for something a bit more professional for conferences. I'm really wanting something like the Dagne Dover Daily Tote, but not at Dagne Dover prices. 😅

Hey, what do you know, me too! 😀

I'm keeping my eye out for restocks. It's cute as heck!

I've been a bit MIA for a little while. I've been very busy IRL, dealing with both good and bad things. I hope everyone is doing well, and I hope to see your smiling faces grace my feed again!
