ahead of the AOS standardizing common bird names in 1886, a co-founder of the boy scouts wrote this letter to The Auk, saying:
-scientists should not decide common names
-eponyms are bad
-an official list of common names should preserve folk names, not devise "artificial" ones

this is extremely exciting!!!!!!!!!

We are happy to share our new commentary on why using language inclusively for transgender people is perfectly appropriate biologically, socially, and scientifically.

Here is a 🧵 on this new commentary by @AndyPerfors, @celestekidd, and myself.

When #yards include nature, it's a win-win solution for both people and biodiversity.
We reviewed ecological/social benefits of yard restoration & show the footprint of US residential area goes beyond urban areas--much higher than previous estimates (30%) https://t.co/ymPrlyc1sy

Nearly 1,000 migratory birds died at ONE building just this morning in Chicago. Imagine across the whole city.

Please please please consider turning lights off in your home and offices over night as our feathered friends make their journey south!

My HOT TAKE of the day is that we need to talk more openly about signs that your therapist sucks so people can find a better clinician sooner and/or not give up on therapy as a whole.

@MUNSU35 @MUNFaculty @GSUMUN lol about an hour after my first tweet, we get one singular instagram story post
great work @GSUMUN ……..

[Jasmin Dawson @JasminPDawson]

no statement from @GSUMUN re: anti-trans/2slgbtqia+ (#1MillionMarch4Chidren) rally. extremely disappointing. tolerance and silence is still transphobia!!! #NoSpaceForHate #TransRightsAreHumanRights 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[Jasmin Dawson @JasminPDawson]

@MUNSU35 + @MUNFaculty have made their support of queer, trans, 2slgbtqia+ students + faculty very clear. so why hasn’t @GSUMUN ??? does the gsu support the anti-trans movement??as a queer grad student i would certainly hope they would support me + other 2slgbtqia+ grad students!

[MUNFA @MUNFaculty]

Our queer and trans colleagues, students, and community members need active support in the fight against all forms of transphobia and homophobia.

This statement from @CanadianLabour outlines the need for unions to be loud and at the centre of this fight: https://t.co/KiwR6C4R4C

In Canada, you have to be 18 for lower gender-affirming surgery. Top surgery can happen at 16, but it requires a parent’s signature. And to get to the point of surgery, it takes years of medical doctor and psychologist led meetings and therapies.

Deliberately letting your cat outside despite the overwhelming scientific evidence surrounding their ecological impact on native wildlife communities and their ecosystems should result in a citation.
