White-nose syndrome is a huge threat to hibernating bats in North America. Bat scientists are working on ways to address it, but I don't like to think how cuts to science funding will affect this research.

Of course, firing bat scientists studying WNS most certainly doesn't help.

This is science under fascism. Our institutions should be fighting for us, and with us. But instead, they are collaborators.

Treating white-nose syndrome in bats just got a little harder. We are hoping we can make up funding shortfalls somehow because this is just too important.🦇 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I've been following SJ's story for a while, and I'm so glad to know they've got a filmmaking team on their side.

I finally finished painting Celeris! In all his astronomical and mathematical glory. It took so much detail work, but was worth the agony :) Also his mane is metallic and looks glorious in the Sun, so I’ll post more pics on day the colors will show their real brightness. #SkyhorseCarousel #SciArt

There's a documentary in the works about the bat scientist who hung a trans flag in Yosemite, their work, and their current fight for free speech and for getting back to the bats:

🏳️‍⚧️Today is Trans+ History Day, 6 May We mark this day because of what happened – and what was nearly erased. On this date in 1933, Nazis raided the world's first Trans+ clinic. Days later, over 20,000 books from its archive were burned in the street.

*Especially* do not attempt LLM poetry for me. I write poems. You could even recite a random song instead of insulting me that way. I will come back as a bag of groceries accidentally taken off the shelf before the expiration date.

Anything over this $100 that I get will go to otc meds and groceries, things I need quite badly. :/

yall are not going to believe the picture I just got of Adonis

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

Please don't forget to grab something to eat. 🍲

The real answer is that cis people assume destroying transmasculine identities and forcing us into women's spaces is "feminism", because they see transmascs as women, and co-opt everything we do successfully as a "girlboss" move while erasing us in the process.

The wizard casts mage hand and sets it to pulling a feather around on a string for the little cat so he can concentrate on a potion.

Looking back 15 years and here are some of the very earliest Doodlecats. I drew everything with pencil, then pen (and by looks of this coloured pencil but I didn't do that often) on paper back then. The stick legs were quite limiting with poses but it was fun to work out how to make them work!
