beautiful song and it is a CRIME to almost make me cry before my snake quiz smh 😔😔 I WANT TO DRAW LET ME FREE FROM HERPETOLOGY
ATLANTISIA is out today!! I dedicate this song to all my trans listeners. we’re not so different—and so what if we are?
I wrote this song at the suggestion of scientist Martin Stervander, who studies the world’s smallest flightless bird, the Inaccessible Island Rail. The genus of this bird was (till recently) Atlantisia, derived from the mythical city of Atlantis. I expected to write something quirky and whimsical, and instead found myself relating to this tiny bird who left everything behind, evolved, and survived 💚
