on the black trans flag
So, I'm going to *massively* overstep my territory here, both as a white person and as decidedly *not* a graphic designer, but I'm not sure that flag edit works, aesthetically speaking. I'm not exactly sold (though I like the thought), and I feel it might be better to redesign the trans flag entirely, rather than edit it. I've included a mockup of what I think might work, but it needs work and input from BlPOC before it's ready to be used. (So don't go using it yet.)

Embarrassing Aura fact of the day: the Lee Greenwood song (cover of?) God Bless the USA is also in Aura's GPM library. She actually used to like this song and agree with its general political message.
Thankfully, this period of Aura's life is long past her, and she realizes just how stupid her younger self was.

PSA: All that "alpha" stuff you probably learned about how wolf packs work?
Complete, utter and total BS.
Wolves don't have an "alpha" leading everything and other wolves always vying for position attempting to take the alpha's place. No. Not at all.
Packs are just... families. That's literally /all there is to it/. A mother, a father, some kids. Wolves don't Obey the Leader™, it's just the ones leading the pack are... their parents. Like humans do.
@tiff If this isn't the biggest mood, I don't know what is
for real, sometimes I sound cynical but I want to be clear: the goal is a world where everyone gets to feel loved and live a fulfilling life of their choice. no cops. no bosses. no landlords. no borders. just people and love and the whole green earth
this and NOTHING less
if you think it sounds sappy or impossible, that's the cop in your head. it's more than possible, it's inevitable. you can see it peeking through, even now. you can meet the people building it
you can BE one of those people
Anyone who punches down just because they can is abusive. All that time the red flag was waving right in my face and I didn't see it because I hadn't figured that out yet, and because I thought I could talk him out of it.
