Pollinators at work!

We got a looooong snek

Its the green season in the desert

They are justifiably concerned if I wasn't worried about them biting me I would 100% grab and hold them like little babies

Idk what this creature is but its loud

1. Children's Hospitals are reportedly under investigation by the FBI for gender affirming care, which is not illegal. The Trump admin is using anti-FGM laws, which do not apply and have specific definitions. It is a scare tactic meant to coerce hospitals. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Its mf tree bean season!!

Had a wonderful time in NAIC new Orleans

Ive always had a really hard time getting landscape shots to turn out good with my phone camera but I really like how these two came out

Happy Pride, Everyone.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. The Arizona legislature passed three anti-trans bills... but they did not become law. That is because Governor Katie Hobbs has just vetoed all of them. They would have barred birth certificate updates and banned colleges from mentioning gender identity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

It's javelin season

The first rattlesnake of the year its what let's me know its spring

These light are gorgeous but omg such a pain

Soon

I have really good news to announce to everyone. Because of our reporting and many readers contacting Planned Parenthood of Arizona, the organization will NOT over comply with Trump, and is restarting its trans adult care. Good work everyone.

Energy today

god she makes me so dysphoric

Its going to be so pretty out here once spring hits (allegedly)

Hey that's pretty good

Taken from a safe distance of course

Been to busy at work but I hope this thing a found will solve all my problems

1. In a proclamation issued yesterday, Trump declared allowing transgender youth to transition "child abuse." He then called for swift punishment of "abuse," with transgender care being his main example. This is the latest escalation in attacks on trans youth. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Remember when the anti-trans folks got accused Joanna Olson-Kennedy of not publishing a misleading null result on her trans dataset (even though she published 27 times!) and accused her of hiding stuff? Now Trump is ACTIVELY suppressing research and doing their own purposefully manipulated studies.

I wonder where he's walkin

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

Javelina

I finally got myself a flag for my room!!

1. We have entered a new era where states are suing corporations for selling pride merchandise, arguing they should know that bigotry would hurt their bottom line. Florida has now sued Target for selling rainbow merchandise. The latest form S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. President Trump has signed an executive order making employees at organizations that support transgender youth care and DEI ineligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. This could impact thousands of schools, hospitals, and nonprofits. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Not best sunset pics but also not the strongest sunset I just like the vibes

Why so small 🥺

1. Montana’s House has passed an indecent exposure bill that applies only to trans people. It sets out one standard for cis people that requires intent, and another for trans people that does not. Trans Rep. Zephyr delivered scathing remarks. Subscribe to support our journalism.

ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban. It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture. Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes. CALL YOUR DEMS! (info in next post)

Rare snow in the desert

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!
