emily gwen, the creator of the sunset lesbian flag that we’ve come to commonly use, still continues to live in poverty.
multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.
i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.
please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.
The thing I can't get over about this whole billionaire submersible thing is, like
The Titanic was a work of art. It was a feat of luxury and the people who built it (the thousand hands that built it between Belfast and South Hampton) really believed they'd built something to be proud of, something that would stand the test of time. It was equipped with full restaurants, pools, spas, gyms, ballrooms. The poorest accommodations were still the nicest in the fucking *world* at the time.
And, for the regulations of the time, Titanic was considered overprotective. They had almost twice as many lifeboats as was strictly required and had watertight panic doors to contain flooding if the ship were to get hit.
The problem was that these measures failed. Not that nobody who built the Titanic cared about them.
Also, a first class ticket, adjusted for inflation, cost about $50k.
Conversely, a group of rich dipshits paid FOUR TIMES AS MUCH to die in an under-pressurized aluminum can the size of a Honda Odyssy that they KNEW was suicidally unsafe to get into.
So I’ve been playing Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, and the moment I realized you could fuse a shield to a Zonai cart and essentially skateboard I had to draw this!
Hope you enjoy this silly drawing, and have an AWESOME day!!!
