We all love spring flowers. Flowers may be male, female, or both. Plants often change sex. In floral complexity, we find joy. Humans are also complex and beautiful in sex and gender. We must not listen to those who seek to divide us because of our differences. Let's find joy in each human flower.

"The purpose of this exercise of free speech is to disrupt without violence and draw attention to the fact that public lands in the United States are under attack," it reads. "The Department of the Interior issued a series of secretarial orders that position drilling and mining interests as the favored uses of America's public lands and threaten to scrap existing land protections and conservation measures. Firing 1,000s of staff regardless of position or performance across the nation is the first step in destabilizing the protections in place for these great places." "These losses, while deeply personal and impactful, may also be invisible to visitors and members of the public -we are shining a spotlight on them by putting a distress flag on El Capitan in view of Firefall. Think of it as your public lands on strike."

Certainly bird flu is concerning, but I’m only seeing about a .60 increase over December, despite there being a lot less available. Interesting I’ve not seen much increase in chicken prices.

I had been trying to think what you phot reminded me of. Birth of Venus by Bouguereau.

Alaska lawmakers have overwhelmingly approved a resolution urging President Trump to abandon his plans to rename the continent’s largest mountain from Denali back to Mount McKinley. #ISTANDWITHDENALI

Stop calling politicians gay as an insult. It’s insulting that you think my sexuality is an insult.

Beyond the trans/cis binary: introducing new terms will enrich gender research We need terms such as ‘gender modality’ that are flexible enough to capture the nuances of human experience but pragmatic enough to serve science.

Still so wild and cool that I got to publish in Nature. We’re going places. Places, I say! ✨

I'm so grateful to this trans woman for pioneering electronic music Without Wendy Carlos, electronic music would have taken a vastly different shape. Working with Robert Moog, she changed the course of electronic music

🎵 Trans+ figures like Wendy Carlos not only defined the genre but were also instrumental in developing the modern synthesizer. Without her, we wouldn't have electronic music like we do today

As the last living witness and the only person left in my paternal family he took the story of my birth and any family history, including medical history with him. Bastard. Although technically I was his bastard. I hope that thoughtlessness and selfishness isn’t something that I inherited from him.

I guess right before Christmas my biological father died. No details, he had responded back in September after almost two years of no communication, that he was going to tell me the story of my birth. He never would talk to me on the phone and rebuffed all my attempts to meet in person.
