I was supposed to be photographing American football at 10am yesterday morning but one of the teams defaulted, therefore I had 2.5 hours to kill until the 12:30 game was due to start. So it was very kind of this California quail to give me the runaround at the nearby Auckland Botanic Gardens for two hours before finally deciding to pose nicely.

Insisting that intersex people are all disabled, just as well as insisting that none of us are (!), both have the same assumption that so many doctors also make!
That everything in our lives is directly tied to being intersex.
This is not true; please avoid doing that.
Some things are unrelated & we can have a whole range of disability statuses that are totally unrelated to being intersex. But also related ones too. Or both simultaneously. It's complex!
Tis the season for the end of the year GRIND! Stuff is getting tight and lots of late nights ahead! If ya wanna help fuel a fen friend this holiday season it would mean the world!❄️🌲
My contribution for OurSideZine "Queer Enough", an edition focused on bringing visibility to marginalized identities within the vast Queer Community.
I've always known that I don't fit the classic binary gender roles but never actually felt as a part of the non-bi community because I am "too straight".
It's so important to feel included, to be a part of something bigger. Don't feel invalidated or alone simply because you don't fit one standard definition of terms.
I am thrilled to announce that my new Birdverse novella THE YOKE OF STARS will be published by Tachyon. This is the one I talked about previously as "fish communism!" All the linguistics. A migrant from an egalitarian society. Caring approach to trauma! I am so excited about this, and I hope you will be too.

Seasonal Reminder !
The #SalvationArmy is not a #charity. They are an evangelical protestant church that uses donations to oppose #LGBTQ rights.
Give them NOTHING.

When you jump into discourse and start crusading against kinks (doesn't matter whether it's pup hoods, diapers, murrsuits, whatever) you are unknowingly telling a lot of your friends - yes, that includes CLOSE, intimate friends - that you are not a safe person for them.

If you’re still against safe, protected bike-lanes in your city, understand this — the safer & more comfortable urban biking is, the more people choose to ride instead of drive. The more people ride instead of drive, the safer it is for EVERYONE, and the better people are able to move IN EVERY WAY, with less space taken, lower public cost, fewer crashes, lower emissions etc.
That literally means that safe, protected bike-lanes BENEFIT EVERYONE.

donation request, trans youth
Every year my husband, partners and I make stockings for the LGBTQ+ youth homeless shelter. Over the next week we're collecting donations to buy more gift cards for them. We will be collecting until December 14th.
We are trying to hit $1600 to add $40 for each of the 40 gift bags we're making.
If you are able, please donate here: https://www.paypal.me/orlvolunteer
We are also collecting items for the stockings. Here is the Amazon Wishlist: https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/5V3VVACK3CG4
