They all kind of look the same. They separate ecologically and altitudinally in some places. They hybridize sometimes. Beside genetics, there’s one good way to tell them apart…

Reposting because all of my jobs have always come from someone in my network referring me or knowing someone who needs a science communicator 🤞
Related, but I'm back on the job market for full time positions
I prefer remote roles, but an amazing opportunity (in a trans-safe locale) would make me consider relocation
If you spot any senior science communication roles or adjacent, please let me know!

Sad to say I have to demote @beyondxandy.bsky.social to a fun side social media thing I do
After being hurt, I need to focus on restoring financial stability
There just isn't a path forward financially for me to make it a non-profit any time soon. Maybe if future elections go a certain way...

Not a glamour shot, but ridiculously tall and thin. I give you a great egret as a #BirdSupermodel for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme.

The 12th(!) Gender Reveal grant cycle is now open for applications! As always, these funds are for organizing / community projects led by trans people of color.
We are particularly interested in funding existing projects that materially support trans folks, queer people of color, immigrants, etc.

Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

i love how strongly anti-AI young buckaroos are, and the creative community is, and basically anyone who knows anything about it. but dang i wish folks brought that kind of fight to the world of erotica. such a sneaky reveal of how those who CLAIM to care actually dont see erotica as 'real art'
