Unfortunately I have a zero tolerance policy for people who shill Harry Potter products and content. After everything, your allegiance to nostalgia still outweighs your allegiance to trans+ people? Sorry not sorry.

I LOVE THESE. Let me add this adorable orange tip that was digitized during the iCollections project. Here they are! And here's "A History of Shropshire" which features a snippet about this exact specimen. Famous!

Also may post about burnout recovery on here. Working at a big national museum is perhaps the greatest thing that's ever happened to me, but because I feel so lucky and grateful I have pushed myself too far. (Multiple times, habitually.)
And folks, no job is worth your life.

Woah hello new followers! Welcome!
Right now I'm taking some time off work due to stress (😬🤒), but hopefully when I get back I'll have plenty of sick Leps to share with you all. To tide you over, here is a little elephant hawkmoth caterpillar I saw a couple months ago.

When I get more followers I'll do an actual introduction post but until then just know I'm doing cool stuff at the NHM, and banging on the walls of the GMT time zone yearning to be awake when all my Americans are posting

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.
You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Okay, so I'm writing something for my staff intranet for Trans Awareness week and made up this image to go along with it, using images from our digitised collections. I discovered a strange little story in my hunt for pink lepidoptera...🧵
