Happy Earth Day! 🌎 Friendly reminder that environmentalism 🤝🏽 LGBTQ+ issues. One of our favorite outdoor activists @pattiegonia says it best, “I think if we fall in love with nature, then we’ll be even more equipped to fight for it.” 🖤 Go hug a tree and never forget — nature is incredibly queer.

Donations related accountability post time! As many of you know, I donated 1% of sale to organizations that fight climate change and work to protect the planet. I also donate a total of 25% of Uterus Notebook sales that I split between an abortion access fund and an LGBTQ+ organization. I choose organizations and donate on a quarterly basis. January, February, and March are slow months but we managed to get a few bucks to some people doing very important work. $8 were donated to Urban Ocean Lab. They do science and community work that focus on the impact of climate change on urban communities as well as seeking climate friendly solutions for those communities. @urbanoceanlab $5 each were donated to Afyia Center and Trans Education Network of Texas. The Afyica Center is run by Black women and supports Black women and girls in getting a myriad of vital reproductive health care ranging from educational information to basic health screening to birth support or abortion access. The Trans Education Network of Texas work to halt discrimination and further gender-diverse equality in TX. @theafiyacenter @transtexas Tomorrow I’ll be sharing the organizations for April - June so stay tuned! As always, if I ever have an organization that you’d like to see me support, please drop the name in the comments. I do a lot of research and like to rotate organizations to spread the support around. But I’m just one person and you all are so smart and knowledgeable so your suggestions will definitely be taken into account! And PS — I’m brainstorming a Queer journal that will be its own fundraising effort for LGBTQ+ support. I’m aiming to launch it by June so finger crossed! #rochesterny #donations #climatejustice #aboartionishealthcare #protecttransfolks #queersupport #mybodymychoice #noplanetb #recycledpaper #journal #handmade #art #craft #collage #collageart #traveljournal #wanderlust #birds #naturelover #natureisgay
I am honored to be a guest speaker for the Spring 2024 virtual Queerphoria series! In this presentation, I will be exploring myriad intersections of queerness and nature, from queer ecology and the re-Indigenization of environmental stewardship to zoomorphism and how we relate with other species to ʻāina-based art and so, so many things in-between (as time allows!) Seriously, condensing my ideas into a single hour is gonna be quite the feat, lemme tell ya. In keeping things lively, there will be several open-answer questions and prompts for audience members to engage as well -- I love presentations that encourage dialogue in real time. For a full description and to register for my talk, scan the first QR code! And check out the full list of amazing presentations via the second QR code ♡ ○ The Queerify/ Queerphoria series was started in 2022 by Kaleikūkamakani "Kalei" Ruiz, Assistant Professor and Counselor at Leeward Community College. As per his website: Queerify is a UH-based public service project designed to amplify queer voices, mobilize queer folks to speak our truths, and connect queer folks and allies with information and one another for a stronger, healthier community. Queerify is sponsored by the University of Hawaiʻi Commission on LGBTQ+ Equality. Tremendous mahalo to Kalei for starting this program and inviting me as a guest -- I am thrilled to share my passion for people, pilina, and place next week! 🌈🌱🐬🦎💕 . . . . . . #Queerify #Queerphoria #queernature #queerecology #natureisgay #natureisqueer #zoomorphism #animism #environmentalism #environmentalconservation #Hawaiianplants #decolonizeconservation #placebased #environmentalstewardship #landback #malamaaina #intentionalecology #queerartist #Hawaiiart #Hawaiiartist

What making art with a baby is like! . Gotta say, this felt pretty magical to do! Can’t wait till they are old enough to make lino prints too if they want to. . I’m working on the last of this series of 35 prints, working on numbers 29-35! These will probably sell out soon, thanks to everyone who has purchased a piece of my art to have in their home / office / wherever. It feels meaningful to have my art be in people’s spaces, especially with all the right-wing backlash nowadays. . Btw, we are going to keep all our social media to post about our art in the future. We noticed a few people unfollowed us, which is totally your prerogative, but we aren’t shutting down our social media, just our Etsy shop on Dec 5 at midnight. . Btw, don’t forget today is the last day of our sale! . Please interact with this post so more people see it, many thanks! . . . #queerartist #transartist #nonbinaryartist #disabledartist #paandpashop #linocute #natureisgay #gay4nature #leopardslug #queerart #transart #transdad #lgbtq #dadlife #2slgbtq #2slgbtqia

The non-binary nudibranch, based on Goniobranchus geminus, has been one of my favorites so far. The ruffles are really fun to paint, but it’s also my flag!

I didn’t want to let the month go by without wishing everyone a very happy Pride. For me, my herbalism practice has deeply informed and supported my queerness and vice versa. The plants have held me through major growing pains, and taught me the importance of mutual support. They remind me about the power of community and what is possible when we honor each and every individual’s unique gifts. They have taught me how vibrant life can be, we can be, and that coming into our full expression doesn’t just help us heal, but also helps the whole collective. Through the lens of my queer identity, I am continuously encouraged to disrupt the status quo in my practice, to think creatively, openly, and compassionately in how I approach care. It has made me more aware of the many expressions of self, and health, that people, any one person, can experience. For me, my herbalism practice and my queer identity go hand in hand, and I am so grateful that I get to celebrate Pride through my work, community, and passion every day of the year. Thank you to my beautiful queer community, and the friends, family, allies, and accomplices who help me feel seen in the many aspects of who I am. I will always do my best to protect and look after my community through my actions, my voice, and my work as an herbalist, activist, and human. Happy, happy Pride.

In this episode of Nature is Gay - Giraffes! It also happens to be World Giraffe Day, so bonus! While female Giraffes do engage in mounting behaviours with other females, the males of the species were found to mount up, so to speak, WAY more often! One study showed that up to 94% of mounting behaviours were between males. Male Giraffes will neck to sort out dominance, but afterwards they also frequently enjoy a good cuddle, which can lead to mounting and completing the deed. There are 3, no 4, no wait, maybe 8? species of Giraffes (it's a hot button topic among taxonomists, there'll be a fistfight later). Their multi-tasking long necks (up to almost 8 feet long!) aren't just good for courting other Giraffes, but also help them reach all the leaves on the tall trees that other browsers are too short to get to. However, getting water is awkward, so they have to splay their long legs out like a newborn on ice to be able to reach the water and get a drink. The Giraffe is listed on the IUCN list as Vulnerable, mainly due to habitat loss and poaching for bushmeat markets. There are areas like national reserves where their habitat is protected and anti-poaching measures are in place to help keep them protected. This Giraffe lives at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Texas. If you're ever in central Texas, this drive-through safari park showcases a variety of animals and is an active participant in Species Survival Plans for Cheetahs as well as Addax and Scimitar-Horned Oryx. #natureisgay #itsnatural #happypridemonth🌈 #prideinthewild #giraffes #giraffelove #worldgiraffeday

Happy PRIDE from Nature's big gay flag! This is a PSA to say that it is never too late to explore what you like, who you like, who you date, how you date (what you do, how you do it...) THE POINT IS This whole life can be a giant experiment and you NEVER HAVE TO KNOW You never have to figure it out or decide or stick to what you were before Letting myself be wrong about things I *thought* I was certain I knew about myself (and clung to fiercely) has been one of the greatest gifts I've ever given myself There's safety in thinking we know And our nervous systems and animal brains love that sh*t But there's so much freedom in not knowing And curiosity and discovery and experimentation and play I guess all I'm saying is Don't get stuck knowing if you don't have to And if at some point you wanna kiss someone who doesn't look like anyone you've kissed before or dress a way you've never dressed before (or goodness knows what else) maybe give it a try and see what happens! Happy Pride, babes 😘 #happypride #pride2023 #begay #natureisgay #grandprismaticspring #queerstuff #lifeisanexperiment #havesomefun #loveyoukbye

Almost double rainbow. 🌈 #natureisgay
Happy pride month! This year I’m working on a series of watercolor nudibranchs in the colors of pride flags, starting of course with the classic rainbow flag. All of these will be based on actual nudibranchs and I’m trying to change the colors as little as possible, just enough to make them match the flags. This one is, appropriately, based on the rainbow sea slug. These are also all going to be available as stickers! What pride flags would you like to see next? #pridemonth #pride #queerartist #gaypride #rainbow #rainbowflag #natureisgay #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #nudibranch #nudibranchlover #tidepooling #seaslug #marinebiology #marineinvertebrates #lgbtq #prideflag #pridenudi

I’ll never forget driving down 285 on my way to a camping weekend and seeing this—I romanticize the hell out of nature. She’s always impressing me. And it’s important to note that #natureisgay I wrote this lil poem hope you like it 🌈 (revised) Love is everywhere you look Abundant, a resource like water, a need not a want. You can see it when sun hits water just right It all lights up Every color in our visible world lighting up all at once, colors even we can’t see but we know they are there. The water and the sun are fire when they touch Meant to be Together—soulmates You can see it when water rushes over the rocks of a river Caressing and decorating the rocks in a beautiful display of effervescent waterfalls cascading falling. Idk what love is I’ve never been there but I know what love is—I see it all around me, abundant like water. Like a rainbow like a waterfall Like two people. In love. Regardless of who you love, you are welcome here. 🌈 we love and support you. Happy pride to all my #LGBTQIA2S out there. #loveislove 🫶🏻
Nature is showing off her pride this month with all the beautiful colors and liveliness! A perfect season to emulate & celebrate who we truly are, and love those we choose to love! 🫶 #nerdyfornature #pridemonth #ally #natureisgay #imhereforit #imhereforyou

TFW you’re queer AND pagan. Happy Pride everyone! Witches and queers have a lot of enemies, but we’re stronger together. And we have the gods, goddesses, goddexxes, fauns, stars, planets, micro biome, trees, dolphins, bats, familiars, ancestors, sorceresses and daemons on our side. When capitalist, colonialist, patriarchal, white supremacy collapses, queer witches will be standing on the rainbow colored rubble, and we’ll use it to build a world where love wins. Thank you to my dear friend, mentor, and queer ally for sending me this awesome graphic, @robbrezsny 🌈❤️🌈 Happy Pride everyone! #pride #paganpride #queerwitch #witchcraftisqueer #natureisgay #gaypride #bipride #lgbtqia
