For Zaya Perysian, the Trump administration needs to respect her existence or expect her resistance.
Zaya doesn't take attacks on her community lightly: She sued to challenge the president's anti-trans passport policy because we all deserve to travel safely with accurate documentation.

For #FossilFriday a small #IsleofWight iguanodontian dinosaur tibia in the collections @nhm-london.bsk.social. What makes it special is that it is from the Gideon Mantell collection. The fossil takes me back 125 million years but its history casts me back to the 1820s.
