had SO much fun in the gathering grounds earlier getting to talk to so many cool women and genderqueer folks, love seeing a splash of girlhood in a male-dominated space 💜

LOVE this area with a ton of different booths for inclusivity in Magic!!!

Also how awesome that @birdsofmtg.bsky.social gets a booth!?

You can earn a unique Chromatic Lantern for playing in this area!

can’t believe I stood where my thigh tattoo isn’t visible, how will people know I’m Cool and Tatted™? (i.e., I want more tattoo but do not have more tattoo money)

like I’m trying to sort out experimental design for one of my thesis chapters and I need to determine the ideal demographic of my model organism—so far, can’t find shit about age/sex/etc impacts on my specific focus. so do I do a whole extra experiment to figure it out myself? maybe. w what $$ tho??

I know being a scientist is so that I can fill the gaps in literature but man do I hate when I have a specific question that’s a gap in the literature and I’m not sure if I’m just stupid and can’t find it or if I have to do a whole extra experiment—

A small, vividly colored hummingbird with iridescent purple and blue feathers perches on a textured branch. Its head is dark, almost black, and it has a long bill and it's sticking its tongue out.
