I had a blast tabling at yesterday’s Burke Museum Queers in STEAM event! I did months of research to talk about queerness - homosexuality, intersexuality, multiple genders, transgenderism, asexual reproduction, changing sex, and atypical sexual presentation - in the animal kingdom 🦒

A queer scientist in a rainbow salmon hat holding a spotted hyena skull while talking and gesticulating. A smiling queer scientist in a “Nature is Queer” shirt. A trifold poster about queerness in the animal kingdom.

My DMs are always open if you have banana slug pictures you’d like to contribute to my reference database :)

A dozen banana slugs for you today 🤗💛 Which one is your favourite??

This is part of a much larger passion project I’m working on, to illustrate as many colour variations of the Pacific Banana Slug as I can!! (within reason, obviously)

10. I love a good orchid!

These are all species that are indigenous to the land I call home (Unceded W̱SÁNEĆ + Lək̓ʷəŋən Territories, a.k.a. Southern Vancouver Island).

Aren’t they precious?? 🥹

I LOVE my fur family: Ella (doggy) and Nia + Máux̌va (kitties). They keep me grounded and make my heart so much lighter, every day!

PS - sweat bees is the second-largest family of bees, with nearly 4,500 species. Not nearly all are green - but several are! 🤩
