The annual @ILGAWORLD report on state-sponsored queerphobia is out.
It's illegal to be gay in 69 (not nice) countries.
28 have marriage equality.
A handful offer full protection.
And societal acceptance and legality are often far apart.

It's a huge part of the shared gay history but taught through the community rather than institutions. If you've not explored it, 2 particularly good places to start are the book/doco "How to Survive a Plague" & the fictional film "120 BPM" (in French with subtitles) #WorldAIDSDay
Calling all LGBTQ+ seabirders! I'm working with @TheSeabirdGroup to make our field better. If you want in on the convo, drop me a DM; you can be anonymous to others if you like. Academic, NGOs, consultancies, wardens, ringers, managers all welcome! Spread the word! #LGBTQSTEM
The conclusion to #Auktober with perhaps the greatest auk, the extinct Great Auk. Absent from the world since 1844, they were large, flightless, and hunted to oblivion for their fat and feathers.
See that bill? Perfect for scooping up & eating... jellyfish & ctenophores?! Yep - they're predators of the "jelly web"! #Auktober (close up shot by M. Johns/USFWS CC-BY-NC 4.0)

Exciting new @AdriftLab paper! How do ingested plastics affect the blood chemistry of seabirds? Many appear healthy, but sublethal effects may lurk undetected https://t.co/YBGpHSOaSe #plasticpollution #ornithology
There are 18 species of penguin, and after albatrosses, they're the most threatened group of seabirds #PenguinAwarenessDay
