31st July 2018

here
blue skies
yesterday's raindrops
focusing the heat

Unicode Consortium
releases 157 new emojis
(symbols for the icon-literate)
but denies Transfolk their own flag.
Lots of poop emojis
and a lobster
which made people happy.
Remember that lobsters are gynandromorphs
and have cells and body parts of both sexes?
We'll embrace the lobster as Our symbol
and while we're at it
remind you of Leviticus 11:12
where the eating of shellfish is detestable
and we'll wait, patiently,
for the Religious Right to start shooting up seafood restaurants
they way they do gay clubs
but we'll defend the diners anyway
because we're the inclusive ones.

and. honestly, just fuck off, TERFs*
