Here's a guide for flags in use from this blog that are fine for photosensitives as far as I can tell. Keep in mind that this is just based on my experiences, and may not apply to all photosensitives. There's just a really big problem with flags not being friendly to photosensitives and accessibility with flag coining posts in general. I have a blue light filter on all devices I use to try to mitigate the eyestrain as well as my job being staring at computers all day.
Hypersexual + Hyperromantic (flag-mashups) - Headaches from the bright pinks. Combination flag is very visually busy and hard to actually tell what it is supposed to be combining.
Hyperromantic (luvlydevil) - Headaches from the bright pinks.
Hypersexual + Hyperromantic + combo (viraldoll) - The hypersexual one looks fine, as well as the hyperromantic one. The combo one has the yellow and white stripe a bit of a struggle to tell between the two of them.
Hypersexual (akumaii) - Colors are way too dark to be able to tell them apart easily at a glance, like the same issue as the first two but dark.
Questioning hypersexual (blood-moon-night-coining) - This one is fine.
Questioning hyperromantic (blood-moon-night-coining) - This one is fine.
Hypersexual redesign (dragoneating) - This is fine.
Hyperromantic aro (kiruliom) - No issues.
Hyperaromantic, hyperaroace, and hyperasexual (local-yurei) - The symbol is very dark and with the contrast of the colors behind it makes it hard to see with that middle stripe. The second one is dark and even harder to see than the first. Same problem with the last one.
Aroace hyperose and demirose hyperose (blood-moon-night-coining) - Mostly fine. I can see the first two stripes under the white stripe being hard to differentiate. It's very visually busy and can be overwhelming to look at.
Hyperromantic (caninophobia) - It's fine.
Hypersexual (epikulupu) - No issues. This is generally the one I prefer because of the lack of issues and it being very easy on the eyes.
Hyperrose/Hyperose (blood-moon-night-coining) - Very visually busy with the symbols, but the contrast and colors makes everything distinct enough.
The epikulupu flag is a good one as a default for hypersexuality due to how recognizable it is and lack of photosensitivity issues. It's just frustrating that so many of these flags either have issues with color contrast, visual business, etc that make them hard to look at and understand as a distinct flag at a glance.
Hi! I'll say now I am the person who made the Hyperose/Hyperrose (blood-moon-night-coining) flag, so I apologize for not making it very photosensitive. /gen
Are there any proper tips you could give me to make any/all the flags used photosensitive-friendly? Such as would dulling colors help, adjusting the contrast, etc. I wish for everyone to be able to enjoy this blog and if just doing as simple as adjusting the colors on Hyperose (and or just making a version of the flag to be photosensitive), then I would willingly do it.
For flags I didn't make, I don't know if they are comfortable with adjusting flag colors or things. So I sadly don't know what I should do for those.

[ID: Tweets from Emily 'Soup Lesbian' Gwen (@theemilygwen) on twitter with the following text:
Well, just left a job interview crying because the hiring manager told me they liked my application but were disappointed that I didn't bother dressing appropriately. I tried to explain that I haven't been able to afford new clothes in years but I just couldn't handle it.
That comment and my reaction was one of the most mortifying moments of my life. I thought I put together a decent outfit for the job with what I had, and hearing her say that just destroyed me.
Anyway I'm still looking for work and struggling a lot. Even $5 would help pay for a meal. ko-fi.com/emilygwen

Please help Emily Gwen, the creator of the lesbian flag. If you show me that you donated any amount I will draw you something. You can also support them by buying something from their Threadless store!

When Palestinian’s say “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” they are not calling for the ethnic cleansing of Israeli Jews/all Jewish people entirely. They are just asking for decolonisation.
Between the river (the Jordan River) and the sea (the Mediterranean Sea) lies Palestine, which has been occupied by Israel for the past 75 years. When they say Palestine will be free, they mean exactly that- for decolonisation; to end the illegal occupation of land that was theirs first.
I don’t know where the idea that this motto means genocide or is a “rallying cry for terrorists” came from, but all sources I have seen that spread this message are all pro-Israel and have unreliable propaganda filled articles. There is one article specifically that says that the Palestine flag emoji is used as shorthand for this phrase, and using it is antisemitic.
I hope people keep using this motto, keep chanting it at protests, and know that it does not making them antisemitic, pro-genocide, or an ignorant person. For it to not be obvious at this point that no Palestinian wants an ethnic cleansing of any kind, is shocking.
decolonizepalestine has an amazing article with more details about the history of the phrase and the myths surrounding it.
