the original pride flag, created in the late 70s! the meanings are beautiful to me. a few years ago i got to see the sewing machine Baker (RIP) used. wish more people knew the history 🩷 meanings of the colors: pink - sex red - life orange - healing yellow - the sun green - nature turqoise - art and magic blue - serenity purple - the spirit

I hate that modern pride variants don't have that pink top stripe! I guess sex is too sexual for people.

@_KZR_ i forget but i think it’s because turquoise and pink dye were too expensive so they cut it down to the main colors of a rainbow. :/ but i think we should bring it back

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳 unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!! if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
