HAPPY INTERNATIONAL ASEXUALITY DAY! 🖤🩶🤍💜

(Jacobin) pigeon + Aegosexual Pride Flag, requested by @kaseth

When we received a pigeon request it was a perfect opportunity to indulge myself and draw one of the flashiest pigeons out there - a Jacobin pigeon! And I had a blast trying to incorporate this specific flag as a plumage pattern. ^^

Personal use with credit welcome and encouraged!

Today our ace artist has decided to gift fellow Natural History enjoyers who happen to be ace (or know someone who is) with sketches of animals and ace-umbrella flags you've requested some time ago.

Join us throughout the day as we post brand new sketches every couple of hours!

Last part for old GF sketches

(Actually, most of these aren't old at all, but their average is brought down by the last picture, which I drew back in August and kept forgetting to post)

happy lesbian visibility day to all the lesbians who stumble across this message! you are all so beautiful, handsome, special and valid 💗 it’s not easy to wander around in this world without having absolutely none of the cismale privileges and everyday is a struggle to some of us, and i’m so incredibly happy to know that i’m part of such a strong community, makes me proud to be a lesbian every day!

i hope each and every one of you still find the strength and courage to express yourselves the way you want to, to love anyone without being afraid, and that all of you feel welcome and valid in our community. thank you femme lesbians, butch lesbians, studs, stems, trans and cisgender lesbians, fat and disabled lesbians, latin and black lesbians, and many more of us that fill our community with diversity and culture. i love you all endlessly 💗

happy pride everyone! i managed to get this one in before the end of june :)

letter sequence in this ask matching protein-coding amino acids:

protein guy analysis:

this turned out really well, with confidence ratings of 80% or more throughout most of the alpha helix. the side chains are also interesting to look at, because the glycine (G) and alanine (A) are tiny, while the tyrosine (T) is pretty bulky and aromatic. i don't really know what this little guy would do inside a cell, but its pretty fun to look at on the screen

predicted protein structure:

i like the sunset lesbian flag, but i just i thought it'd be cool to mix some previous lesbian flag colors into a more inclusive one

i decided to mix aspects of the sunset flag with shades of purple/violet to represent sapphism

i think this would be a great flag for the general lesbian community. i always see the sunset lesbian one used as the default, but it's just offputting to see "relationships to womanhood" when it's supposed to be nonbinary inclusive. even as a bigender lesbian, i can acknowledge this treats womanhood like the default and makes other nonbinary lesbians feel left out and ignored within their own community. i also thought it was important to represent transgender lesbians as a total, as well as studs and stems, because i feel they aren't included enough and dont get nearly as much representation either.

study participants needed!

UPDATE 2: yo I've got another study on my blog rn thats still running if anyone sees this and wants to join :)

UPDATE: thank you everyone that's taken part :) the study has now closed, we got over 200 participants!! thank you so much

Hi, I'm a second year psychology student doing research on how queer people view others within the LGBTQ+ community.

Its just a short task and survey that should take 5-10minutes to complete, any participation is appreciated! Thank you!

Extra clarrification on some things under the cut :)

In this study we use the words "(gender) conforming" to mean anyone thats not part of the LGBTQ+ community and "(gender)non-conforming" for anyone that is. This was suggested to help us code the results better, but we now know that this may have overcomplicated things.

The first part of the study involves an IAT, for some people they will be put into the "positive, conforming" conditioin first and others will be the "positive, nonconforming" first. It may seem scewed, and some people have bought up that it can seem bias, but that is just how this type of test works- it has been used and tested in many other studies and has not shown internal bias.

These are the main two points people have bought up, feel free to ask any other questions about this research though I will be happy to try and answer as much as I can :)

Human Animal Object Flag Combo

Human: last surviving species of the genus Homo and the species sapiens; a form of primate bipedal hominidae.

Animal: a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli; animalia, kingdom of multicellular eukaryotes whose cells are bound together by collagen.

Object: in astrophysics/STEM/formal sciences, a contiguous collection of matter, within a defined boundary (or surface), that exists in space and time or is otherwise fathomable. Usually contrasted with abstract objects (hard sciences) and mental objects (humanities).

You can use this flag however you want, in an alterhuman way (eg. objectkin therian humanhearted), in a singletn't way, in a menre way, or in general. In my lived experience and to my interpretation, I live in a physical body (object) that is made of flesh (animal) and bone (human). My mind/thymopsyche (internal self/ego/personhood) is virtual/digital (immaterial/immanent), therefore a belief if distinguished from mind-body dualism.
