Logged back into this platform for the first time in a while. What the fuck is going on? Specifically about the CEO of bluesky? But I'll also take any commentary.

On this #TransDayOfVisibility I've been reflecting on how much more fear I have being visibly and loudly trans+ lately (and how afraid my trans siblings and peers are lately)--we now have a local bathroom ban, forced misgendering of students and teachers, etc. But we're still here, still wonderful

Here is a photo of a trans non-binary biologist (me) holding a bird (Eastern Towhee) that is likely a bilateral gynandromorph-- a fusion of cells with female-type chromosomes and cells with male-type chromosomes in one bird! Biological sex and human gender diversity is real and wonderful ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Not sure how many people I'm connected with at Arizona airports, but you know those signs in the bathrooms about spotting human trafficking? that includes this!

this week instagram has started serving me ads for some sort of christian faith thing. don't know how to explain to them they're targeting completely the wrong guy here...

Started a new project this weekend! Crochet sounded like a fun thing to do instead of doom scrolling while I watch TV. But feeling a little frustrated counting and tracking stitches. I imagine it'll get easier as I develop the skill?

I'm just a subcontractor/vendor so I haven't gotten this, but reading it makes me sick. This is so against everything that NASA has represented to do many people, myself included.

11 years ago I went on my first date with my ex-wife. Today the movers are moving me out of my house. Some Big Feels TM happening... But at the same time I am feeling excited to see what the Next Chapter TM holds!

Last night while driving home I found some strays running around. A little chaotic, but got a vet to scan for their chips and they made it safely home! They were so good! They literally just jumped in my car when I opened my door!

Years ago when my wife and I moved in together, we joked that mixing our books together was impossible to undo and meant we were "stuck with each other". Packing my books up last night were some Big Feels as I had to face the magnitude of the promises I made and wasn't equipped to live up to.
