I do art, mostly science-y and nature-y stuff. I used to do tattoos. Lexington, KY. I hate AI. I love science and critters and motorcycles and you. I co-host an insect podcast called There Will Be Bugs. (They/them) www.zillahsmith.com

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people
