queer community gets easier once you accept that society at large is simply not trying to turn us from one kind of queer into another. it will only accept us not being queer at all.

society does not want you to be ace instead of gay or gay instead of bi or nonbinary instead of a trans guy or a trans guy instead of nonbinary. society does not want trans people to medically transition but it also doesn’t want us to be trans without medically transitioning. society does not want nb people to be nb and masc or nb and fem but that does not mean it wants them to be androgynous. society does not want queer people to have kids but it also does not want queer ppl to be happily childless. society does not want marriage (ie monogamy) available to queer people but that does not mean it want us to be polyamorous or non-partnering.

they’re trying to force full conformity. not partial. a gay trans person is not more or less acceptable than a straight trans person. we can shout at each other about “blending in with cishets” or “still having relationships with the ~opposite sex~” as much as we want, but transphobes still hate us both. they do not want either of us to be the other. they only want us to be cishet.

When Edward Wilson was seven years old, he suffered a fishing accident that blinded his right eye and left him with permanent 20/10 vision. Young Edward had lost his stereoscopic vision, and as a result he had a much easier time seeing small, close objects than he did things far away. Because he could see them better than anything else, Edward began to really focus on the little things around him. He became fascinated with the ants and butterflies that other kids failed to notice. This fascination for those little things eventually led to Wilson becoming the worlds leading expert in myrmecology, or the study of ants. He’s also been called “The 21st century Darwin” for his vast influence on the field of biology and it’s hard to even articulate how much he has done for the sciences in his lifetime.

Joan Procter had a chronic illness that often kept her home from school, where she would spend her time with her many pet reptiles. Unable to attend college due to her illness, she studied herpetology from her home and cultivated her knowledge of reptiles to the point where she became THE expert in reptile husbandry. She knew her shit so well that she (a disabled woman in 1923!) was named curator of reptiles at the London Zoo, where her work revolutionized the field of herpetology. If you’re like me and head straight to the reptile house as soon as you get to any zoo, you can thank our patron saint of lizards Joan Procter for building the science that made captive reptile exhibits possible!

Jack Horner had tremendous trouble in school as a kid, and he was eventually diagnosed with dyslexia as an adult. Although he had enrolled in college to study paleontology, he was unable to finish his undergraduate studies due to his struggles with dyslexia. However, Horner credits his dyslexia with giving him the superior spatial skills and uncanny grasp on “big-picture” concepts that allowed him to pursue his own path to eventually become one of the most famous paleontologists on the planet. He was the inspiration for the character Alan Grant in Jurassic Park! I was also a dyslexic dino-obsessed kid and my mom blew my mind by telling me the story of Jack Horner when we watched Jurassic park together. Certainly, my dyslexia has made graduate school immensely challenging, but it’s also given me a slightly different perspective on biology and medicine that I’ve really come to value.

This is all to say that no matter what your disability looks like, there is not only ample room for you in the field of biology, but also a desperate need for your unique perspective and abilities. Millions of human minds thinking and seeing in different ways is what has been turning the wheels of science for hundreds of years, and that’s why it’s just baffling to me that anyone would try to deny those with different perspectives a seat at the table.

We lost the absolutely incomparable E.O. Wilson today at the age of 92. His are the shoulders that many biologists are standing on now, and we were truly lucky to have learned from him while he was here.

It’s a great day to head outside and admire some bugs to focus on the little things in his honor!

sorry man, “let’s go brandon” is the lamest “tee hee i’m not touching you” shit imaginable. you had the opportunity to tell the president to go fuck himself, suck your dick to his face etc etc and you blew it.

[theabigailthorn]

you said you couldn’t be patriotic or love your country when it is discriminating you- isn’t that how you make it better though? like Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was probably a proud American

King was assassinated three days before giving a sermon entitled "Why America May Go to Hell"

that one time one of my dad's work friends commented on a picture of me and my little brother at the beach genuinely asking if my little brother was okay because the very large looking seal that was in all the pictures looked like it was about to attack?

...may we see the very large looking seal 👀
