Not trans visibility day, but still well worth reposting.
Today we are spotlighting a few of the books from our LGBTQ+ Collection that highlight trans lives and issues. Check out the photo captions to find out what books the images came from.
International Transgender Day of Visibility was created in 2009 by therapist and transgender activist Rachel Crandall Crocker, partially as counterweight to Trans Day of Remembrance, a day of memoriam for all those lost to transgender violence. Crocker wanted “a day that we can just celebrate being ourselves.” More recently, Crocker spoke about the double-edge sword of visibility for trans folks, and called on allies of trans people to make themselves more visible. So for all the cis people reading this, think hard about how you are going to show up for the trans community today, and every day.

THIS IS WHY WE LOVE BILL NYE
Bill Nye for most of his career: Imma do science for kids. Science without politics. Nice, tame science for the kiddos.
Bill Nye now:
My comfort thought is Thrawn and Ar'alani watching Ahsoka together... with Ar'alani mercilessly teasing her friend and commenting at all the nonsense on the screen.
A little animation for Asexual Awareness Week.
It took me a long time to realise this was me.
Discovering that asexuality was a thing changed my life.
I am not alone.
And neither are you.

This is my main tumblr. It's going to be filled with random things that are cool. This includes technology, space, some fandom stuff, and sometimes PSA's. Have fun, and maybe find something new.
