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.

Support Emily on Ko-fi! ❤️. ko-fi.com/emilygwen

MY FRIEND EMILY DESPERATELY NEEDS HELP RIGHT NOW.

PLEASE REBLOG THIS AND CONSIDER DONATING TO KEEP THEM AFLOAT, EVEN IF YOU CAN’T GIVE TOO MUCH. THEY DO NOT HAVE CONSISTENT AND STABLE HOUSING RIGHT NOW AND NOBODY IS HIRING EVEN IF THEY’RE APPLYING TO JOBS DAILY. EMILY’S BILLS ARE PILING UP AND THEY’VE BEEN PUTTING OFF THERAPY + PSYCHIATRIST + DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENTS BECAUSE THEY CAN’T AFFORD IT.

rough draft, themes of depression, suicide

In the absence of work, I take to my phone

overstimulated and tired yet a barely there dopamine hit making the minutes tick by

In the absence of food, I take to delivery apps,

The same bowl of pasta that I end up cooking after the 400 rupee price tag kills my appetite

Or I take to sleep,

If I'm tired and unwilling, and the day seems too exhausting to live.

In the absence of a will to live, I take to sex,

The universal feel good that physical pleasure gives is just enough to mask the urge to die

In the absence of productivity, I think to younger me, the one who's being disappointed by all the time spent rotting

In the absence of feeling, I think of you.

I think of the time you take out of my everyday, I think of how much I think of you, I wonder if we're worth it, I wonder if this is my salvation or my demise, I think of what brought you to me and I think of what we give each other and I think of what I take and I think of what you take

and I, in the absence of all the mes that love you

Am unsure if any of the other parts of me are even worth living for.

When Toni Morrison said the grandeur of life is the attempt, not the solution… And how she went on to explain that it’s about behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances. The power that has, you know? It’s really just the making room for what breathes in the presence of the attempt. In the coming-to-be.
