happy may day.

An upward pointing pink triangle is surrounded by a vast field of black. A white stripe is hand painted down the middle, as well as a blue stripe down the left and right sides, turning the pink triangle into a trans symbol. Some distance below, in big bold letters, is "SILENCE = DEATH". A passage is written in much smaller text, requiring close inspection: "Why are so many people silent about trans oppression? What is really going on at the Trump administration? Trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people are not expendable. Use your power. Vote…Boycott…Defend yourselves…Turn anger, fear, grief into action."

I've been mighty busy these past few months, but I recently saw the "Silence = Death" post from @roclgbtqhistory.bsky.social. Surely I'm not the only one who thought about it, but I figured the whole poster was overdue for an update.

Panning takes a delicate hand and juuust the right settings. I can't remember the last time I got to pull a good one off! It's tough stuff, this is an outstanding pic.

A rocky desert landscape at sunset facing east. The golden hour makes the desert rock vibrant in the late afternoon with cool shadows like delicate and detailed paint strokes. A river and canyon winds in and out of frame to expose sheer cliff face. A lone boat speeds through, waves rippling and dissipating further down the canyon. The portrait orientation shows the sheer breadth of the landscape, with a plateau hazy yet distinctly sitting on the horizon.

A plate with Eggs Benedict: softly poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and toasted English muffins all topped with Hollandaise, paprika, and chives. A mug with a "Moe's Books" letter design is behind the plate, filled with black coffee. The pair are softly lit for brunch hours.

Found dead in my Eggs Benedict.
(because i made the hollandaise too thin and sprinkled on too much paprika 🪦)

Photo of an enamel pin in the shape of a simple humanoid figure, eyes closed in a serene expression and holding a sparkling heart at its center with shapes of the figure radiating out to form the colors of the trans pride flag.

People in power are counting on your ignorance and ambivalence on transness and trans people to continue to do harm without pushback. Your discomfort and fear are being weaponized against trans people who are used as scapegoats. Understand that our oppression and our liberation are linked together.

A small sparrow bird with strokes of earth tones, white, and gray looks towards its back. It perches on a lone branch. Tall grass behind it is distant and blurred.

Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia) giving a look behind.

A Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Corthylio calendula) is perched on a lone tree branch, with sparingly more gently blurred behind it. The Kinglet stares down the camera head-on, almost as if it had an angry glare.

Mean lil' gremlin of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Corthylio calendula). I love how dorky birds look staring at the camera head on.

An American Robin (Turdus migratorius) is perched and looks out. Bare branches delicately weave in front and behind the bird like a lattice against a clear, deep blue sky.

It would be a pleasure to be added as a contributor. I got a backlog of bird pictures that I never posted widely online that I need to start trickling out 🐦☺️

A Western Bluebird (Sialia mexicana) perched among many tree branches.

A grasshopper (or cricket?) closely photographed amidst a pile of rocks.

If I knew the specifics, I'd give a species name. 🦗
