I'm doing another print run of these "Biology is Bigger than Binaries" shirts!
Back, quite literally, by popular demand. Bullying works, sure, but so does a bunch of nice cutie patooties politely asking!
Order 'em now, I'll mail 'em in early November.

Do your thing and sell this lady out, science internet.
I would like to report a miracle: as of yesterday, mats and scarves have all arrived 🎉
It's a month before SfN and I don't have my scarves again (despite ordering them vastly earlier this year) and the guys who cut the mats for my itty-bitty paintings just told me their mat cutter is broken

Hey folks, my wife was laid off unexpectedly. We depend on her income with my own.
