The rainbow flag or pride flag is a symbol of LGBT pride and LGBT social movements. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Using a rainbow flag as a symbol of LGBT pride began in San Francisco, California, but eventually became common at LGBT rights events worldwide.

Originally devised by the artists Gilbert Baker, Lynn Segerblom, James McNamara and other activists, the design underwent several revisions after its debut in 1978, and continues to inspire variations. Although Baker's original rainbow flag had eight colors, from 1979 to the present day the most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically displayed horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

LGBT people and allies currently use rainbow flags and many rainbow-themed items and color schemes as an outward symbol of their identity or support. There are derivations of the rainbow flag that are used to focus attention on specific causes or groups within the community (e.g. transgender people, fighting the AIDS epidemic, inclusion of LGBT people of color). In addition to the rainbow, many other flags and symbols are used to communicate specific identities within the LGBT community.

Would people be into me making posts about obscure dinosaurs? I'll keep it to the science com so it doesn't clog up the site, promise.

I mean, education is a of form of praxis, right?

It's not that I want to just share my dinosaur hyperfixation with people, nope, honest

How Tesla got into electricity:

β€œIn the dusk of the evening, as I stroked Macak’s back, I saw a miracle which made me speechless with amazement. Macak’s back was a sheet of light, and my hand produced a shower of crackling sparks loud enough to be heard all over the house … My mother seemed charmed β€” β€˜Stop playing with the cat,’ she said. β€˜He might start a fire.’ But I was thinking abstractly. Is Nature a gigantic cat? If so, who strokes its back? I cannot exaggerate the effect of this marvelous night on my childish imagination. Day after day I have asked myself, what is electricity?”

stroking Macak lol

Not sure what to do with myself, I just got fired from my job and have been rotting for the last couple of weeks. Don't worry about me, I had some money saved so it's not like I'm broke. If it wasn't for my dog I don't know what I would do. He's the only reason I leave the house now.

Just filed an OSHA complaint for the bird infestation in the warehouse I work at. Having a bird shit directly on the paperwork I was completing and management telling me to use a different portion of my desk to avoid direct hits was the last goddamn straw. Don’t really expect it to go anywhere but I gotta feel like I’m doing something.

Once while I was doing some work at my previous place of employment (Cleaning out apartments for the municipality usually either hoarder stuff or people who died in the apartment) I felt a drop or something on my neck while I was grabbing stuff, I checked out what it was and it was a maggot. The ceiling wasn't even dirty or anything (The floor absolutely was though).

Don't put up with that shit, it's not safe for you and you have rights.

Sister was telling me she first started drinking coffee because of her first job out of college where she had to wake up super early. She didn't drink it in the morning to wake up for work, she drank it once she got off work so she could be alert for her free time. gold-communist

I love playing Warframe during Pride Month, chucklefucks show up out of nowhere to complain about gay people like a gay couple isn't central to the last 3 content drops and a trans character hasn't been important to a faction that's been in the game since 2018.

anyway,

i went into a dive on the crash bandicoot wiki to up my bandicoot knowledge and I read about how Crash had a waifu in the first game, Tawna Bandicoot, who was a sexed up Jessica Rabbit looking character, and I read that she was removed from future games because of Sony having issues with her appearance and characterization

so I was like oh huh okay cool I guess Sony took issue with her being a vapid big booba prop for Crash and-

NOPE the problem was that she "looked too old" for Japanese playtesters with one quoted as saying "who's this middle aged woman"

I have to figure out how worry about money less. It's weird because I was much less worried when I was significantly poorer than I am now.

I guess it's because I have some measure of financial stability so I worry about losing that. When I was broke I felt screwed no matter what happened.

Watched a pirated version of Lilo and Stich live action and immediately want that hour and a half back. That it and the Minecraft movie are two of the highest grossing non-Chinese films this year is depressing.

If you're gay, that's okay. If you're queer, do not fear. If you're ace, you're still the race. If you're trans, we're your fans. If you're bi, don't be shy. If you're intersex, that's a flex. If you're lesbian, that's muy bien.

You know how sometimes in fantasy there'll be a city or a country protected by a constant storm of some kind? I've found that in real life. A gas station in the desert near Palm Springs, which has a never-ending sand cyclone whipping around it. When you park your car here you can feel the gusts trying to pick it up and throw it, when you drive through the wall of sand your view goes completely white like you're driving through a snowstorm.

And the gas is ten cents cheaper than across the street, so of course you're going to put up with it.

Went to the river on Friday and actually got to SWIM and the water wasn't freezing and it was so so beautiful. Yesterday I hung out with my reading pals and then went to a dope ambient noise performance and it was so good to be social and be outside, it's been really hard for me to go socialize so much (since I became an adult) BUT I HATE THAT MY ALLERGIES ARE SO TERRIBLE. I now have to stay inside all day whether I like it or not because I was so miserable and woke up with itchy eyes this morning. I feel like I should just bite the bullet and get allergy shots every year because I miss pretty much all of spring and half of summer because of this shit stress

Uber gave me a ride worth $50, but refused to tell me to where. I tried asking the rider but they didn't respond so I had to cancel.

Like, $50 to Riverside would be pretty good. $50 to LA would be terrible. I can't make the call of whether to accept without knowing what I'm in for and Uber fukken knows that and chooses to hide that information sometimes to trick you into taking bad deals. Fuckers.

There should be an app that automatically middle-mans Uber and Lyft rides in order to offer a lower price to the rider that the driver gets 100% of. Everyone would win except the CEOs of those companies (lmao).
