Because I loved what @inaturalist.bsky.social was doing, I have painstakingly identified almost every single observation of Kellet's whelks (my study species) available on iNat.

If they continue down this road, I will delete my account, my observations, and my identifications.

not that i expected better from Purdue… but as an Queer student of color who has gotten harassed countless of times while at Purdue, the spineless ending of DEI efforts is still a stab to the heart

Nymphia Wind’s #dragrace step down look is one of my all time favorites. Not only does it look STUNNING but it is also a love letter to Taiwan’s ecosystems and endemic species!!!

Behind her is Taiwan’s now-extinct formosan clouded-leopard, and on her chest is another endemic: Mikado Pheasant.

My favorite find has to be the Mikado pheasants I saw in Taiwan with my dad — one of Taiwan’s national birds

after trump won the presidency of the US by (partially) campaigning to hurt the trans and queer communities, this #LGBTQSTEMday feels extra important.

no matter what, i’m still queer, i’m still doing science 🌈🧪🧬
