I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

No candidate willing to sacrifice trans folks to win deserves a single vote.

No candidate willing to sacrifice migrant peoples to win deserves a single vote.

No candidate willing to sacrifice Indigenous folks to win deserves a single vote.

Warrior up, people. You CAN build a better world.

Some more video from that day. I still got about 35 more to process someday. A bit of bird combat, but not too great because so far away and heat distorted
The pelican mating ritual is super complex and long, and even after watching it for 2 hours, I can't tell you what is a "step in the ritual" vs "something these 2 pelicans are doing on the spot" (except the sex, obviously), but sometimes there's a feather presentation and it's obnoxiously sweet🥰. 🪶

Folks in and around Edmonton, please help @premeemohamed.com find her kitty, Fiasco, who escaped from a window with a broken screen. See her account for updates/details.

Franca, the darker and younger cat listed below has been found. But Fiasco (see attached photos) is still missing. He has a chip.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A teen (15?) calls out to an approaching woman (60s?), wearing a purple demin jacket.
Teen proudly holds a booted foot out: "Nan! Check out my new Docs! They're the same pink as the ones you used to have!"
Nan is VERY impressed. (1)

This video by Alex Pearlman does a really good job explaining why branding changes like his aren't "woke" they're just another chapter in the big book of "Capitalism and the adventure of endless growth for the shareholders".

Terrible light but ……look at the baby snowy plover on the left. I always shoot from a distance and keep walking. These birds are so vulnerable and face so many threats. 🪶

These polar bear cubs are 8 months old. They will stay with their mother (watching out of frame) for another year and a half before they are ready to venture out on their own. They were so curious of us humans watching from a giant, silent, tundra buggy. 🌿🦊🐻‍❄️

22 pelican shots stacked from a sequence of 101 shots in 7 seconds. A single gull.

About 6 shots stitched for the background, some issues with the water but overall the shot sequence I've been hunting about 3 weeks.

A solid ending to grunion run season 2025.

Cya next year, little fishies #birds

Many of us on the research and countering authoritarian academic side have been watching and speaking about the fact that there is a large bad faith effort by trolls going on using what we call grab bag signifiers
