Tidalic & Lunaric Attraction
Tidalic attraction is a type of attraction that describes being drawn to someone the way the ocean is drawn to the moon. Like waves crashing against the shore, trying to get high enough just to touch or be near the object of their desire/obsession/etc.
Lunaric attraction is a type of attraction that describes wanting to draw someone in the way the moon draws the tides. Like the moon pulling the ocean higher and higher, longing for the slim chance of ever truly connecting.
Never tried to make a flag like this before, but my flags have started to feel so same-y. I wanted to try something different here.

Space / Sex-Positive Asexual
An asexual person who considers themselves sex-positive in any sense. This could mean many things for the user, including (but not limited to):
- Being supportive and positive towards others having sex, but not wishing to partake in it yourself.
- Enjoying sex as a concept/thought, but not wishing to actually partake in it yourself.
- Enjoying the act of sex for reasons outside of sexual attraction (i.e. physical affection, having children, still having a libido, etc.)
This can be used as a combination identity with other sexual labels (i.e. "space bi", "space lesbian", "space queer", etc.) or as a standalone identity. This term is inclusive of all who fit under the asexual umbrella. Having a connection to space is not required for using this label, but it can factor into the reason someone might use the term and flag.
I'm aware that the more accurate term for those who enjoy the act or concept of sex regardless of attraction is "sex-favorable". However, I've seen them used interchangeably and I personally only use the label sex-positive because I fit both camps and I find it less of a mouthful to communicate to people.

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.
and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”
but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?
The same fuckers who won’t ever reblog or acknowledge this
My apologies to the original poster as I photo captured this post to add to the thread-I reposted this last year for pride and expect to repost it every year I have left-it’s our history people.
Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.
Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.

SPREADSHEET OF PALESTINIAN ESCAPE FUNDS‼️TIME SENSITIVE
Operation Olive Branch is a continuously updating spreadsheet of Palestinian escape funds where progress towards their goals is being tracked. As of right now, there are over 100 funds listed there.
Any amount of money can make a difference. With their recent decision to bomb Rafah, the only remaining “safe” territory in Gaza, Israel has forced Palestinians into a corner by giving them nowhere else to go. The international community has given Israel the ability to act with impunity - it is long past the point in time to rely on those in power to hold Israel to any standard of compassion.
Today, I want you to look at this document, choose a fund, contribute to it, and share it. The people in Rafah are living on borrowed time. Free Palestine.
TL;DR: We're looking for English-speaking neopronoun users (aged 18+) to participate in a paid linguistics study.
Hello!
Professor Kirby Conrod from Swarthmore College is recruiting participants for a paid interview study (in-person in Philly or on zoom). Anyone who uses neopronouns for themself, is 18 or older, and is fluent in English is welcome to participate. The study will consist of a casual interview between you and a researcher, a similar interview with a friend of yours, and an exit survey for each of you. Each will receive $15 as compensation for their time.
If you're interested in participating, please fill out this form: (https://forms.gle/YajpkjxGYiwL7RLF6). Filling out this form does not require you to participate; it's just an expression of interest.
Even on Tumblr, neopronoun use is relatively uncommon, so it would be very helpful if folks could reblog this post to help it reach as many neopronoun users as possible.
TOMATO LESBIAN FLAG
(Plaintext: Tomato Lesbian Flag)
Definition: A label for those who are a lesbian in the way that a tomato is a fruit. The label fits and is comfortable, but at the same time they have a different connection to using the lesbian label than the way that most lesbians do.
This is just my take on the flag! I loved the definition when I saw it, but I have an affinity for 7-stripe flags. No idea why, they’re just neat. Figured it’d be cool to give a slight spin on it. It’s pretty much the same as the original, just with more stripes and one version with a tomato symbol. I did not coin this term, I only made this flag for it.
Coined by infinitys.hoard on Instagram [link] (@galaxys-hoard on tumblr).
Image ID: The first image is a flag with seven even horizonal stripes. From top to bottom, the colors are orange, light orange, pastel orange, white, pink, light red, red. In the center of the flag is a vector image of a red tomato with a small green leafy stem on top. The second flag is the exact same thing without the tomato logo. End ID
i just remembered this bc i talked about this years ago on my instagram and someone coined it and now the original coiner isn’t there anymore 😭😭
like this was me. i said this ‼️ and someone made a thing for it i love it LOL
You are literally a legend because I love this term ASLKJDFH
hi friends
as we boycott in support of palestine, here is a little reminder of the companies that specifically supported israel in their crimes against palestine (taken from the al jazeera website)

Gonna update the blog later after we get off of work. Adding some stuff, making everything nice and clean.
EVERIQUE (Updated Flag + Carrd)
NOTE: The Carrd site is not mobile friendly at this time. I plan on updating it soon to be more accessible for mobile platforms.
Everique is a term to describe when one views their entire identity as queer, and thus views all of their attractions as such. It can be used as a modifier alongside other labels or as a term on its own. There could be a multitude of explanations for this, some of which are (but are not limited to):
- Being trans and having a complicated relationship/history with your sexuality because of that.
- Being multigender and/or genderfluid and therefore experiencing queer attraction regardless of who you're attracted to.
- Being non-binary and not fitting binary definitions of queer vs. not queer.
- Being m-spec and feeling as though all of your attractions are queer because you are m-spec.
- Being a system/collective where the line between individual identities is blurred.
- Being angled a-spec and experiencing "straight" attraction through a queer lens due to being a-spec.
- Simply being queer and resonating with the term's meaning.
- Many, many more.
This term is meant to encompass everyone in the community. If you feel this applies to you, use it. There are no limits to this term. This term is inclusive of m-spec lesbians and gays, lesboys and turigirls, romeogirls/darcygirls and julietboys/bennetboys, multigender and genderfluid individuals, gaybians/velaurians, loveless individuals, non-traumagenic systems, etc.
The new flag is very reminiscent of the original, but with a few alterations and added meaning to the design.
The descending rainbow for each of the bigger stripes are supposed to resemble the whole of the queer community and how everyone is included under the label Everique.
The white is supposed to resemble the 'everyone inbetween'. The identities that are often left out of discussions and pride, the identities that are often forgotten, dismissed or attacked even by members of their own community.
The purple in the middle is to resemble unity and togetherness for all queer people, meant to be a nod to the chevron queer flag.
Everique has a new symbol, that being a rose. It symbolizes love, happiness, positivity and (again) unity. Each petal of a rose is still connected to the same bud of the flower, much like how all queer identities are still connected under the shared experience of being queer, regardless of their differences from each other.
Here are some transparent images of the term's symbol, but any rose can be used to symbolize Everique.
The love this term has gotten has meant the world to us, but it was our first term ever. The original flag, while cute and charming, was made with very little flag-making knowledge. None of the colors held significant meaning.
You are still more than welcome to use the original flag if you feel it fits you best, but this is the one that has resonated with us the most and we feel encompasses what Everique is.
