Valley Carpenter bees and their fun sexual dimorphism for #invertefest

ye olde trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️🌿

“biological sex” should refer only to having sex in a lab, knocking over microscopes and shit, contaminating every surface while scientists watch you and take notes

Two other groups that work really hard for trans people and their loved ones (as I can attest from personal experience) are Mermaids and Gendered Intelligence, and they could both use donations: mermaidsuk.org.uk?form=donate genderedintelligence.co.uk/donations

Here's my long comic essay about breaking up with Harry Potter and JKR's increasing transphobia. Please boycott the new TV show and all of her future projects ✨ #harrypotter #transphobia #jkrowling redgoldsparkspress.com/projects/718...

Unbelievably stoked to share that the r/Fantasy team has been nominated for Best Related Work! We're up against an impressive field but it's an incredible honor just to have our fun not-so-little game included! See y'all in Seattle! ✨🚀

TRANS RIGHTS 🏳️‍⚧️

#TransDayOfVisibility is tomorrow! be sure to uplift trans creators! Let's start with trans authors and writers~ 🏳️‍⚧️✨ #booksky #authorsky #writersky #writingcommunity #TDOV go.bsky.app/VamK3SD

It's International #TransDayOfVisibility 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 And for trans authors in particular: We see you, we read you, we wanna give you money 📖👀💰. Which SFF works by trans authors should we be squeeing excitedly about? #TDOV 📖💙📖🏳️‍🌈📖

It's trans day of visibility! Transness has been made very scarily visible over the last few years but through a warped and harmful filter of politics and media. Today, I hope that visibility might be more human and that cis allies might be inspired to do something about it.

Its a tired day today.

after a few disappointing battles, today's results cemented the heart battle as the best i've ever done in writing battle! and there are more results coming next week 👀

Here are some nice mushrooms

just got through to the final showdown in the heart flash fiction writing battle!
