I actually made this bunch of pride dinos last year, but I realised I never posted the finished version here, so here it is!!

I actually tried to incorporate some of the known coloration into the design if I could, which turned out to make for very interesting results, as you will see below:

Pride Flag: Caihong juji 🏳️‍🌈

The dinosaur that actually gave me the idea to incorporate the known colorations into the design. This dinosaur had iridescent feathers on its neck and chest of a variety of colours, so it probably had a sort of rainbow-like color scheme on those feathers (probably not that much like this one I depicted but similar), perfect for its flag!

Bisexual Flag: Microraptor gui 💗💜💙

Now for my personal favourite (partially not biased), and one of the ones that most closely resemble its actual irl coloration. The fossils preserve a full body, iridescent black coloration, similarly to crows. Normally these iridescent tones are blue, but they can range from purplish to even sort of magenta tones, which when combined correctly resembles its flag very well.

Lesbian Flag: Sinosauropteryx prima ❤️🧡🤍💗

Now for my second favourite and maybe the one that most closely resembles its flag irl. The fossil actually preserves red and orange tones with a white underbelly, and is also stripped like the flag! Pretty much the only thing I came up with was the magenta skin, which could very much be possible based on birds.

Trans Flag: Archaeopteryx lithograpica 🏳️‍⚧️

Now we start on the ones I had to stretch a bit to fit lol. For Archaeopteryx we only have ONE (1) black feather which we aren't sure of the position of, but it's probably from the wing, and given it was a coastal "bird", I gave it a seabird-like coloration. And the blue tuffs of feathers? Just some extra pizzazz to make it fit the flag.

Non-binary Flag: Jinfengopteryx elegans 🖤🤍💜💛

This one is closer than the previous one, as we know it had a spotted pattern on some points of the body, and probably some sort of lighter coloration on the tail feathers, so I went with yellow to, again, fit the flag.

Gay Men Flag: Confuciusornis sanctus 💚🤍💙

And again another vague one (can you tell I'm running out of things to say). We do know confuciusornis had some dark grey coloration around the chest and maybe some iridescence based on relatives, so it was good enough to fit this flag.

Pansexual Flag: Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus💖💛🩵

A really cool dinosaur (and I think the only one that is featured on an irl flag??) that preserves some stripped coloration on its leg filamentous feathers, which I combined with blue for the naked tail and legs of the animal to fit the flag colours.

Asexual Flag: Caudipteryx zoui 🖤🤍💜

Another one with only patterns preserved, this one is actually pretty cool, as it preserves a stripped pattern on a small fan-like tail that it probably used for display. Thanks to the asexual community for making their flag these colours so it fit very well with a lot of dinosaurs 🫶🏻

Intersex Flag: Yi qi 💛🟣

Okay, sorry to disappoint but this one doesn't actually have any evidence of coloration, BUT the one thing that's preserved about this one's really cool! Instead of feathers, it uses a leathery membrane to glide in between trees, like a dinosaur version of a flying squirrel.

any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don't have to choose what it is if they can't make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you're just gonna make food happen at their house.

friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.

someone's relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.

buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.

pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that's what they want.

people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.
