New horrors on the way for trans adults in the UK... (When they did a similar review for trans teens, they threw out 97% of all studies and then basically went "wow, there's not any research to demonstrate this if effective; guess we gotta ban it.") Now it looks like they're doing same for adults.

Today out in the pine barrens I saw a bunch of cellophane bees!

I'm not sure if they were emerging for the first time today or just hanging in holes, I honestly don't know a ton about these bees. I saw around 20 of them sprinkled throughout the trails in little clusters of 5-10 burrows.

Bintang, affectionately known as Bini, can often be seen exploring the Asian Forest Sanctuary, exploring along forested trails, scent-marking his territory, or stretching out for a nap. Nearby, Kali enjoys the waterfall habitat, often keeping a watchful eye on everything around her. 1/2

The state of mainstream trans discourse is that a morning show presenter will conspiracise about carceral consequences for transphobia while the West has declared a crusade against trans healthcare and trans existence.

The mosaic is a large square divided into four strips of scenes featuring men and animals, bordered by a chain-style frame. The top two sections depict intense hunting scenes: a shepherd fighting a lion, a soldier fighting a lioness, and two horseback hunters defeating a bear and a wild boar.

The lower scenes are pastoral but with a hint of the exotic: a shepherd watching his goat and sheep graze in the shade of trees; an ostrich on a leash held by a dark-skinned man; and a boy holding the leashes of a zebra and a spotted animal that looks very much like a camel but might be meant to represent a giraffe.

Something different today. This is my local castle, about a 12-15 min walk from my house, it even has a moat! You can also get married there :)

In other news, I've packaged up all 32 weekend orders and they're being dropped at the sorting office tomorrow morning πŸ₯°

Spotted and soaring through Baja Bay! πŸ’™ Eagle rays are among the largest rays in the ocean, growing up to 10 feet across and 16 feet from tip to tail. Their dark gray-blue backs are dotted with small white spots, and their wing-like fins make it look like they’re flying through the water.

A male prehensile-tailed porcupine climbs around branches in an indoor zoo habitat.

Prehensile-tailed porcupines get their name from their long tail that acts like a fifth limb. This tail is very strong and can support a porcupine’s full body weight. Very useful when you spend lots of your day climbing, like Ozzy!

Spider monkey Sarah's "fruit by the foot"!

Our primates are offered enrichment activities - like these - every day. Items come in all shapes and sizes to encourage natural behaviors with fresh challenges. Enrichment also stimulates zoo residents' minds.
