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!

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 💗

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)

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:

welcome back to another game of 'starry gets Emotions about her aus that SHE Made as if she were a viewer' aka im analyzing my own characters again. today im having spontaneous feelings over Danny's facial scar in Things in Threes and his perspective of it vs everyone else

danny got his facial scar when he was five, protecting damian's cribside from a spontaneous attack by a pair of intruders. It narrowly missed blinding him and cuts down diagonally across his face. At five, it was jarring and incredibly noticeable, stretching from his hairline to his jaw. At 15 its still painfully noticeable, but scars do not grow with age, they shrink as your body grows around it. Now it only goes from the middle of his brow to below the center of his eye.

Danny's facial scar is a point of pride for him. Despite horribly traumatizing him he refused treatment to get rid of it because it was a physical reminder that it was him who got hurt and not Damian, that he was able to protect his family. Not once does he ever feel shame or disgust towards his scar, because to feel that is to feel ashamed of protecting Damian, and he is not.

To him, his scar is a trophy. A physical reminder of his capabilities and a reminder to keep honing his skills so that he can never be hurt like that again, nor allow anyone to get close enough to him or Damian to be able to hurt him like that again.

To everyone else it is a point of tragedy. To Sam and Tucker, it is just one more physical reminder of their best friend's sad, terrible background that he refuses to share with them. All they know is that it came from him protecting his brother when he was five, something that deeply horrifies them.

To Bruce and the rest of the family, it is a reminder of what Danyal has gone through. The leeching horrors of the league that resulted in a five year old boy killing two grown men and being permanently scarred as a result, and seeing that scar as something to be proud of.

There is so much to think about about Danyal's scar.

study participants needed!

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 :)

Ngl it feels really hard to feel pride when your own communities don't see you as one of them, when you're closeted, when you've still got shit to unpack and when you still got shit to explore. But if a long time ago and even right now, people like me made a space for us then, no matter how small, I'm gonna take it and grow accordingly.
