We felt we had to make this  🤭

Edit: Added additional alt text to describe the fediverse symbol 🩷

Edit 2: Added more description to the alt text. Hopefully this is helpful to folks who wanted more details about the girls and the room they're in

@SleepyCatten honestly with that the gay question is very warranted
@SleepyCatten  so, are you like gay or something?
 i mean, yeah, but what does this have to do with anything?

@purplerabbit Feels like the early setup for a queer webcomic 🥰🤭

We'd totally read that.

It'll be hard to top the very sapphic opening episodes of Girly though.

Girly by JAQQQLN

That webcomic

@SleepyCatten I genuinely never thought to look up what the fediverse symbol was, I've been like "ah yes, the queer pagans" this entire time
@FrazzledBrynn LMAO 🤣  
@SleepyCatten @FrazzledBrynn honestly, that seems like an extremely positive connotation and makes us more favorably inclined to the symbol :3
@SleepyCatten I would like a team of lesbians to develop the ClamBook that the girl is using.
@SleepyCatten I had not encountered this meme before! I love it - and your clear and complete explanation too.
@SleepyCatten TIL fediverse has a flag?!

@debuggingolympia It's actually just the fediverse logo on a white background for simplicity and quickness 🩷  

We did go looking for a fediverse flag though first.

@SleepyCatten so what you’re saying is that it’s the new Fediverse flag?
@SleepyCatten Its for gay people, furries, etc who also identify as non-billionaires and/or are sexually attracted to non-billionaires.
@SleepyCatten Huh, the fediverse, now known for its pentigay-m.

@SleepyCatten
In anyone ever wonders why alt text matters, this is a perfect example of the form

It is not only clearly descriptive, it also taught me that the fediverse has a symbol, and a super cool one at that

Is there an alt text Hall of Fame I can nominate this for?

@kims @SleepyCatten

I don't know, but there is a user account with that name!

@SleepyCatten @ahimsa_pdx @kims Yes, very nice!

My only one small nitpicky suggestion would be including a description of the fediverse symbol for those who might not be familiar with what it looks like.

@celeste_42bit @SleepyCatten

CS train loving autistic here, one furry queer kid and one enby kid

@SleepyCatten the Fediverse is definitely "gay" as in the older meaning of lighthearted, carefree, and full of joy 

(And if someone told me the more modern meaning of the word applied too, I wouldn't dispute it 🤪)

@SleepyCatten gay and occultist (because pentagram)! 😁
@SleepyCatten "you don't recognize the trans flag??"
@SleepyCatten [Looks around.] Yeah. This one's the Site Admin Pride flag.
@SleepyCatten just a pentagram for summoning inclusive demons
@SleepyCatten
It's the Happiness flag, duh!
The answer is yes, but that's not what the flag says
@SleepyCatten "just because a lot of queer folks use it does not make me queer. I mean, I am queer, and I use it, but shush"

@SleepyCatten
I swear I thought that rainbow pentagram was gonna mean queer witchcraft

Symbols are fraught with symbolism…!

@SleepyCatten fediverse - getting cat ears is unavoidable
@SleepyCatten I'd never seen the original sauce of this meme, so thanks for telling me what that flag was in the original. TIL!

@dusepo Glad we could help 🥰 We try to find the source of memes and artwork whenever possible.

@betalars
Thihi. Das hab ich heute auch in meiner Timeline gesehen und musste grinsen xD
@SleepyCatten "what pride flag is that?" yes, it is

@SleepyCatten

I think it's the trans-furry flag...

@SleepyCatten Just don't ever mistake.the trans-flag 🏳️‍⚧️ for a strip of bacon!
@Venty That's only the lesbian flag that happens for 🤭 
@SleepyCatten I'm sorry, I'm not very good at this kind of social-sexual geography. I don't even know what the flag for straight people that feel to be in the correct body looks like.
