The queer community is under attack. I think our symbols should reflect that fact. Inspired by the work of others and the tradition of national war flags, I have designed some Pride War Flags.

Fly them to let the fascists know that we won't go down without a fight.

Anyone know if there's a website like Threadless but for flags? I got an idea for some new merch.

Not perfect but there are some things I like about this #flag redesign proposal for #virginia https://www.reddit.com/r/Virginia/s/Yax7BenP8C #vexillology (yes, non Virginians, we enjoy nudity and murder on our state flag, why don’t you have nudity and murder on yours?)

"Trans-Lesbian Flags!!!! incomming"

1. White Comms: combining the white stripes of the trans flag and the lesbian flag to a divining but common flag

2. Progress Abbreviated: classic trans order in the progress flag

3. Originals Intertwined: the white stripe dividing male and female in the trans flag is intact

#introduction HI I am Randolph, I am a #neurodivergent #furry with #autism with a special place in my heart for #hymns, #anthems (mainly #nationalanthems and #historicalanthems), authoritarian states' #propaganda and #propagandasongs, any #politicalmusic and sometimes #folkmusic or normal music in languages like #russian or #kyrgyz or #turkish. Quite interested in the #RussiaUkraineWar and #specialmilitaryoperation propaganda too.
#sovietsocialistrepublics and #ssranthems are awesome (in fact WW2 and Cold War period are my favorite), I like #geopolitics, #vexillology, #mapping.

My normaler interests include #linguistics, alongside English I speak #italianlanguage and #sicilianlanguage (interested in its preservation too), #lettering and #alphabets and #writingsystems, particularly the #Cyrillic and #greekscript. Knows #csharp. And is a #phonetics and #internationalphoneticalphabet nerd. I really like #hyenas, #foxes, #seals, and #otters. And that's about enough.

Is there a more complicated definition of a flag? Seriously New Zealand? You needed to bring square roots into this?

I've seen this flag being flown in Palestine protests but I couldn't find where to get it or who made it, so I made my own version, licensed under CC0. Feel free to print to or use it for any reason, no need to credit me.

It may be November now but a lycanthropy hyperfixation is forever.

My current hyperfixations:
Lycanthropy and wolves - since 2012, including the mythological history of lycanthropy (specifically Greek with the myth of Lycaon.)
Lingustics - since 2019, a lot of languages explored (not to fluency, dear God) including Old English, "Ænglisċ" with its script, futhorc, English's sister language, Frisian, Arabic, Welsh and Scottish Gaelic, various Romance languages including Latin itself, Greek, a few Slavic languages (Russian, Ukrainian and Polish specifically. I know how to read Russian-varient Cyrillic), Japanese, Korean, a few conlangs like toki pona and Esperanto. I got a 5 in both English and French language GCSE without studying. I also know how to read the IPA.
Poetry - since 2020, 120 poems have been written and counting, organised into ~45 subfolders.

My previous hyperfixations:
Biology - 2011-2015, especially neuroscience.
Astronomy - 2012-2016
Vexillology - 2019-2021, I can recognise most national flags.

Are there any official flags that have third dimension features, such as pleats? #flags #vexillology

Vexillology is just so vexing.

#vexillology is just a gateway drug for #telegraphy -pilling yourself. Just over here snowcrashing myself reading about community operated fence-wire party lines and teletype vulns cc @krusynth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_telegraph

Saw this on Reddit and loved it, so I had to share it over here.

Sadly I can't credit the creator, reverse image search took me to the birdsite but I can't view anything without being logged in, and I don't have an account.

It seems to be based on a redrawing of someone else's idea, several layers deep, and I can't track the provenance. If someone knows, please comment.

Interesting article about a proposed redesign of the #WashingtonState #Flag by Bradley Lockhart (who designed the #BellinghamWA flag).

What do you think, does Washington need a new flag?
