Years ago, ACT UP protested at hospitals cutting off LGBTQ+ people from their care. They didn't stand for it.

Today I spoke against Montana’s House Bill 121. I stood with so many other opponents to this bill, and despite knowing this bill is more likely to be passed then rejected, I am proud of my community. I am so proud to be trans.

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them. It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests. I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights. Find the EO here: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

So we have the answer for one question people were asking... people's gender markers are being changed back even for renewals, if they had an existing passport in a different gender even as a kid: www.instagram.com/reel/DFZNz6r...

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican. Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries. We are not going anywhere. Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

This is the biggest danger of Trump's EOs. They are not law, and yet Denver Health is complying in advance, ending all trans surgeries under 19 years of age, including chest masculinization - a rare, but much needed surgery for some trans teens. www.9news.com/article/news...

Just released memorandum from OPM: Federal facilities will now have a bathroom ban for transgender people. It will go into effect on the 31st. It also has a slew of effects and puts into place the 1st anti-trans EO policies for every agency. This will have a ton of impacts very quickly.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

House Bill 121 in the State of Montana is being heard today (Jan. 30), a bill forcing trans people to use the bathroom of their assigned sex at birth. This will force trans people into unsafe situations. I will be testifying, but more anti-trans bills are coming up in MT

"Butterfly Effect" is by far my favorite piece I've ever drawn. I know I keep sharing it, but I just hope it brings joy when people see it. (Plus I don't have a whole lot of new art to share.) #paleoart #sciart

Finished up another old sketch I had from a few years back; it's been kind of fun going through some of my older WIPs and freshening them up. :)

So done with Transphobia on the internet. Its beyond exhausting to see literally every day. My existence being political is literally insane. Get a life, its weird the amount of focus on us literally just being happy

While doing fieldwork earlier this fall, a windstorm almost took my tent with me in it. The moment focused why I'm here, why I'm staying here, how hard I've had to fight for a future I'm not letting go of. My contribution to @assigned.bsky.social's Stay With Us package. 🏳️‍⚧️

I've been away, so am late to welcome folks fleeing X. For newbies: Hi, I'm Mark, I research, illustrate and write about extinct life, especially #dinosaurs and #pterosaurs. I'm known for my #paleoart and have consulted on, and designed creatures for, lots of your favourite dinosaur documentaries.

Regicide- a fun painting from earlier this year, imagining the cataclysmic struggle when adult Tyrannosaurus rex would abandon all posturing and go at it in a full fight over territory! Steps in the thread as well. #paleoart #dinosaurart #trex #tyrannosaurusrex

Alright folks, I'm definitely going to need your input on this one. Know someone with science training who fits the description below? Let's get them in here! I want a starter pack for everyone looking for examples of scientists who do private business / entrepreneurial work. go.bsky.app/27kYnEL

Thinking of knitting myself a pair of iguanadon mittens, but don’t need another set of green clothing items… any color ideas? Need a “skin” color and another for the nails and thumb spike

"How Animals Got Butts", but really about how animals got buttholes. It would be interesting to see a version about the rise of gluteal-based propulsion in synapsids, and thus really be about "how animals got butts". #Science youtu.be/re1RKgaVhdw?...
