Fellow Sue the T Rex enjoyer!! Can you tell me more facts about her?
Ngl I don't know that much about Sue as an individual. Anything worth saying I'd probably have to find by delving into the research mines.
I do know that Sue goes by they/them pronouns tho! (x)

One of my favorite science YouTube channels. Properly closed captioned. Stick figure animation. Short and sweet. Lots of puns.

I'm re-reading The Dresden Files right now. I'm currently up to Dead Beat. And what with so many awesome book adaptations coming out recently, like Good Omens, The Sandman, etc, I can't help but wonder what a studio like Weta could do to render a scene like Harry Dresden riding a zombie tyrannosaurus down the streets of Chicago, accompanied by Waldo Butters frantically drumming his polka suit, and freaking out national guardsmen as they run by.

I take it that the logical conclusion of SUE using they/them pronouns is that there should be no cops at Chicago pride, only SUE
As a lifelong attendee of Chicago Pride (until I had to move two years ago >_<), I concur

T. rex Madness Final! Fossil Specimen (Black Beauty: RTMP 81.6.1) vs. Fossil Specimen (Sue FMNH PR 2081)
Fossil Specimen (Black Beauty: RTMP 81.6.1) – Black Beauty, discovered in 1980, is distinguished both by its striking appearance and by being the first T. rex specimen to receive a nickname. It is on display at the Royal Tyrell Museum in Alberta, Canada and has replica casts around the world.
Fossil Specimen (Sue FMNH PR 2081) – Arguably the most famous of all T. rex specimens. Discovered in 1990 through impressive luck and observation by the fossil’s namesake, Sue Hendrickson, Sue is also one of the best T. rex fossils, being 90% complete by bulk. Following a lengthy dispute over ownership, Sue was put up for auction, inciting fears that the fossil would end up in a private collection. With the help of various donors, Sue was purchased by the Field Museum in Chicago, and has been a fixture there ever since. Sue’s bones show signs of various injuries, including a parasitic infection in the skull. In 2018, Sue was moved to a new room at the Field Museum, featuring an updated assembly and an informational exhibit featuring the world in which Sue lived.

Things I love about Chicago: The Field Museum happily posts pictures like this so I can see on a regular basis how they brush the teeth of their non-binary T-Rex skeleton.
