Academics in the U.S.. be honest. If you were graduating with a PhD in the next year, would you pursue an academic career? It's becoming harder & harder to do this work every day. Specifically interested in hearing from folks at smaller schools, private unis, or community colleges.

Hey folks, I’m going to need you to care about what’s happening in states like FL, TX, IA, MO, and TN. These are, in my opinion, the most aggressive states towards trans rights and whatever they’re able to pass, others will try to follow suit. Fight back and organize with folks within these states

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Cis friends - instead of telling the trans ppl you know that they're valid, etc, regardless of our political landscape, tell that to other cis ppl.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Today the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a historic hearing on transgender rights. The findings in this case will likely have great implications for the right to healthcare for all trans people in the U.S. See how you can support our communities below!

When you find out the stonefly on your door was a rare endemic and then spend the evening collecting more off your duplex in the dark, on a ladder, with a headlamp on. My poor neighbors 😂
