I designed a Seizure Punk flag.

The darker purple represents Epilepsy.

The lighter purple and cyan represents Non-Epileptic Seizures.

The dark purple and blue can double as suicide awareness colors.

The yellow represents neurological disorders and neurodivergence.

The white represents invisible disorders.

The black represents dehumanization.

This flag is based on a combination of the voidpunk flag, the two seizure awareness ribbons, and the disability pride flag. It represents the difficulty and invisibility of the lives of people with any kind of seizure disorder, as well as a recognition and unification of the two disorders despite their differences.

It's for all the people who are sick of the lack of help, sick of the lack of information and the judgements and biases found even among medical professionals. It's for the adults who still struggle, despite all of the information being aimed at children and their parents. For people who may be struggling with even basic things others take for granted, because of their seizures. It's for people who are or were angry and done with it all. It is for solidarity among people who have seizures, or people who know someone who does.

People with seizures can face many unseen difficulties and dangers, from poor mental health including suicide, seizure phobia, and (especially in the case of non-epileptic seizures) PTSD, to physical health issues being harmed or even killed by the seizures themselves, or someone else who is ignorant to the subject.

that is not what i was calling out. having spaces between punctuation is perfectly fine, the issue comes when every single word AND punctuation is double spaced. normal spacing is easy to read; the issue that me and multiple others i've discussed this with have is the *double* spacing - that's when my eyes start to skip between things. and as far as i know, aac does not do that

just so you know , typing like this needs plain text added . i physically cannot read this without my eyes skipping between lines and giving me a headache . and i ' m not the only one who is affected by this . i am sick of this .

your ableism isn't aesthetic and i know this is not the only time this has been mentioned.

Question, if we shouldn't use christian symbols on general religion flags, which symbols should we use for religion in general?

We were talking about this last night in the archivists server actually. We couldn't come to a consensus, but some suggestions were a star or a thought bubble. You can do a symbol that's related to another aspect of the term, or put a more metaphorical, vague symbol like a triangle or circle. You can also simply not include a symbol.

In general, it's best not to put any specific religious symbols on flags that are meant to cover multiple religions. The reason we specifically called out Christianity is because that's the only one we've seen people do it with.

The MOGAI community has a huge and mostly unaddressed problem with cultural Christianity. If you're making a flag for something, even if it isn't related to religion, check what associations the symbol you're thinking of using has. If you are Christian, grew up Christian, or grew up somewhere where Christianity is the majority, chances are there's a lot of things associated with Christianity that you don't know have that association. Doing the research on that goes a long way towards making sure not only that people of all religions are accepted and welcome in the community, but also benefits people with religious trauma.

The MOGAI community is like a constantly burning library of Alexandria. I will always respect a bloggers reason for deactivating but I wish people would archive blogs rather than leaving.

if you're coining for the beverage presentation system

[PT: if you're coining for the beverage presentation system. end PT]

then i beg you. if you can find a nonalcoholic drink that fits your colours, use that instead of the alcoholic one, or at least make a version that isn't alcoholic. at the very least, tag for alcohol, ESPECIALLY if you're using alcohol-related imagery on the flag or post

we are an alcoholic. we are an alcoholic that isn't aiming for total sobriety. and we're still feeling unwelcome and unconsidered because of the constant untagged alcohol imagery on beverage presentation system flags. please make room for addicts in MOGAI because we are a part of the community and deserve to be accommodated for too

thank you

We are tired. We are done. This is going to be mean because we are tired but make your posts god damn accessible. Stop making the text small stop putting "pretty symbols" [ that half the time are actual symbols from other languages ]

Do you WANT people to actually read your post? It's just tiring to scroll through some terms, finding a cool term and yet can't fucking read it cause of the small ass text and literal NO PT for it anywhere. It's super fucking inaccessible.

Mogai community is ableist at best and it fucking shows.

Tienge-: When one is attracted to exactly ten genders

Tienpersi-: When one is attracted to ten people at a time, those could be the same ten people always, or they could change, so long as it’s no more or less than ten

Tienpersa-: When one can be attracted to ten people at a time, but that number could be any where under that or at ten, just no higher. Those people could stay the same or change over time, so long as they aren’t attracted to more than ten people

“Tien” is the Afrikaans  word for ten. “Ge” is from gender. “Per(s)” is from person. “Si” is from simultaneous. “A” is from at all. These can be put in front of any kind of attraction. ~Mod Chopper

[PT: Chromaergreen /End PT.]

Chromaergreen

A gender where the shade(s), hue(s), etc. of green that one’s gender is related to changes based on the seasons, who you’re around, or any other outside factor. A combination of Aerogender and Greengender

I remembered that there was a green-specific version of the Chromaergender (that was labeled as Chromaergreen) on the coining post, so I thought I would give it a definition. More of these (with flags) coming soon! ~Mod Starry

[PT: Linguistingender /End PT.]

Linguistingender

(again because I wanna make the definition broader)

Linguistingender: Any gender related to linguistics, the study of linguistics, nonfiction books and stories, poetry, language, words, etymology, specific letters, the use of language, and the language one uses to describe oneself; Any gender related to linguistics, language and everything that entails, the way one uses language in regards to themself, nonfiction books and stories, and poetry- an example could be Boysisteric, since it’s connected to specific language and use of language

[PT: The Aami System /End PT.]

The Aami System

The Aami System is a gender system to help Yoruba people describe their gender in a way specifically related to Yoruba culture and cultural roles, separate from western culture and the western binary. 

The system going to contain many (exact number still to be decided) terms related to malehood, womanhood, neutrality, etc. for Yoruba people to more specifically describe their gender in relation to those concepts and more, as well as Yoruba culture and cultural roles.

(I feel like this isn’t a great explanation, but I’m tired and just bad with words so hopefully this works out)
