An image of two people shaking hands. The hand on the left is labeled "Silksong Players", the hand on the right is labeled "Computer Programmers" and the handshake itself is labeled with "swearing at bugs." Silksong is an insect themed video game, while errors in programs are colloquially referred to as "bugs"

Bodies are so weird. You can be almost entirely asymptomatic while simultaneously brewing up a medical emergency and not even realize it bc nothing seems to be wrong.

Made for a lot of funny looks in the ER tho 🤣

You ever just have this burning desire to create something? Like it's just there thrumming beneath your skin with every pulse and you can't get it to quiet until you make something to release it?

Yeah like my body and brain are so tired but I just gotta *art* y'now?

Day 17 2: Electric Boogaloo is the Genderfluid Clownfish

Yes I miscounted last post >_<

Genderfluid people experience a gender identity that shifts or changes over time. This fluidity gives the term its name.

There is a gofundme for her family that I've just been made aware of, sharing below

As I said in my original article, I firmly believe that if the government is going to force birth, they should be required to pay for the child's medical care. It's disgusting that they don't.

2) This flag is not the same as the British Suffragette flag (similar color scheme, but the hues on the Suffragette flag are different). Roxie has stated they were unaware of this similarity when creating the flag.

Also Roxie is cool so you should support their art and music marilynroxie.com

Two important notes about this flag/term!

1) Not every LGBTQ+ person is comfortable identifying themselves with the word "queer" due to its history of use as a slur. If someone says not to call them genderqueer, respect that

Day 17: Genderqueer Sand Dollar

This flag was designed by Marilyn Roxie to draw awareness to the genderqueer community. This label is used by some people who identify with a non-normative gender identity or expression.

Day 15: Nonbinary Butterfly Fish

Specifically based this lil fella off a copperbanded butterfly fish. Nonbinary individuals identify with a gender outside of the very strict labels of "boy" or "girl".

Also friendly reminder, singular they predates singular you :3c

Day 14: Aroace Ocean Sunfish

Some aroace (aromantic asexual) people prefer to use green and purple, but others like to use this orange and blue one instead. This is sometimes called the sunset aroace flag due to its color scheme looking like a sunset over the sea

Day 13: Asexual Sea Dragon

Ace-spec people experience little to no sexual attraction, but may experience other forms of attraction (such as platonic or romantic). This sea dragon has the main ace flag colors, but different flags for the microlabels exist too.
