Bats on film: scientific storytelling from a recovering academic

@thor no worries, I can vouch for the accuracy. #RecoveringAcademic

@MikeInTheGarden

In person I'm a #recoveringacademic and #UnitarianUniversalist practicing #FeministTheory outside the corporate university.

For fun I bake, cook #vegetarian one-pot meals with whatever vegetable is in season, and sing in #choir.

Banner: a light pink with white text, rounded font with texture, reads "A WORLD WITHOUT TRANS PEOPLE HAS NEVER EXISTED AND IT NEVER WILL." The full image from @torracadh.bsky.social includes this text with white and light blue background in the trans flag.

Profile: Unitarian Universalist chalice symbol rendered with a watermelon as the vessel and with an olive branch as the wick and light. This is in bold greens and reds. In a circle around the top of this image reads in cursive "until all are free, none are free." And around the bottom in caps "VOTE YES-AIW."
