This is a significantly better version of the meme that often floats around. We can’t know everything based on bones, but we can know quite a lot. Paleontologists and paleoartists aren’t just guessing!

We have to anticipate that they'll instantly turn our words back against us. We have to make that harder than we have in the past.
If we're screaming NO KINGS NO NAZIS NO BILLIONAIRES

we can have a vibrant community of trans people or we can have Singal and his followers
