As a #queer, #mixedrace, #neurodivergent researcher, I hope to draw attention to the need for a more #Diverse, #Equal and #Inclusive academia, by eternalising Rebecca and her work on these 2 gorgeous plant species (6/6)

The idea of honouring Rebecca on this species is due to a combination of factors: Firstly, 1) it was the sole non-gem-fruited new species; 2) it presents silvery leaves, which look covered by a thin layer of confectionery sugar; and 3) I'm a Rebecca Sugar superfan (5/6)

The 2nd new species, Commelina sugariae (the Rebecca Sugar dayflower), is very peculiar due to its 2-carpellate gynoecium but lacks gem-like fruits (4/6)

@rebeccasugar.bsky.social's was monumental in highlighting the importance of healthy #Queer #relationships in media. #Garnet, who was inspired by Rebecca's relationship with @ianjq.com, is the physical manifestation of the loving relationship of #Ruby and #Sapphire (3/6)

We describe 2 new species, one honouring #Garnet (voiced by the incomparable
@estelledarlings.bsky.social) and another honouring Rebecca Sugar themself. Commelina almandina (the Garnet dayflower) is unique in the family because of its garnet-like fruits (2/6)

Happy 39th Bday to @rfdealmeida.bsky.social! You're unbearably annoying, but these past 10 years with you have been the best years of my life. I love you so much, and I can't wait for us to grow old and wrinkly together 💕 💕 💕

Getting sick during the holidays really sucks, but the up side that it gives me a great excuse to rewatch #TheOwlHouse🦉🏠. Thank you so much @danaterrace.bsky.social for this amazing show and for all the special memories it has given me 💖

Even though Chappell Roan was up there, she has been a more recent obsession of mine and didn't make my Top 5 this year
