I started a #WellingtonPride album here: www.flickr.com/photos/viole...

And yes that's a double-decker bus in a Progress Pride flag paint job! And a matching bus stop 🥰 #Pride #Aotearoa #NewZealand

A happy coincidence!

Selfie style photo of two people. One person is a stunning drag queen in a black wig, space-age wing 80s red sunglasses, many bangle necklaces, red lips and a glitter beard in a glossy sequin turquoise strappy dress, purple leopard print leggings, and riot grrrl docs. The selfie taker is in a pink visor that says "protect the dolls," heart-shaped rainbow glasses, and a white shirt with a trans pride flag that says PROUD. I am holding a fake jazzercise dumbell covered in trans pride color bling. This is our serious photo.

I had the honor of marching in #WellingtonPride today side by side with legend @queenoliviaiii.com #Aotearoa #NewZealand #Pride

In which we learned that it’s quite difficult to march in Pride and also make a video of pride parade

Black and white photo of four kittens spilling out of a basket that seems to be partially full of sticks or vines or something. They’re all short haired, and there is a black haired tuxedo, two tabbies, and what looks like a white and calico. Two of them look remarkably grumpy, and the other two seemed kind of blank and possibly confused.

Historians agree that the real Pandora’s Box was likely a basket of grumpy kittens. Postcard from my collection, mailed 1904.

Illustration of various detailed botanical structures of Frichostylium affine Corda, a green moss-like plant. The image shows multiple views and cross-sections of the plant’s leaves, capsules, and spores, highlighting cellular textures with hexagonal patterns and fine root-like hairs. The detailed drawings feature shades of green and brown, with labels numbering each segment. The overall style is scientific and precise, reflecting 18th-19th century botanical art focused on plant morphology for study and classification. The page is titled in script with the plant’s scientific name and numbered "XXXIV" at the top right.
