happy pride month everyone!!!

i've been looking at microlabels because i was feeling kind of inspired and i have been HORRIFIED to realize that one of MY microlabels has the most GOD AWFUL FLAG ive ever seen... i'm going to put it under a Read More because it's so ugly and because this post ISNT ABOUT HER, but i redid the flag myself, using some flower knowledge!

so behold!!!

the NEW AND IMPROVED.... SAPIO FLAG!!!

people who are sapio will start to feel a connection based on their partners' smarts and intellect! whether it's their verbocity, their quick-thinking, their mastery of their skill or interests, their certainty and astuteness will amaze and befuddle their sapio partner (which, in this case, would be me!!!)

inspired by the noble and beautiful IRIS, an orchid which is associated with intelligence, connection, partnership, and equality (purple irises in particular are associated with passion, the mind, and justice)! I literally just color-picked and adjusted it to be easy on the eye

so if you're like me and you've been wanting to rock a sapio flag that doesn't look like dogshit, this one's for you! go forth and use it to signal your appreciation/love/attraction to your clever-as-hell partner(s)!!!

original sapio flag under the cut... and no, i'm not joking...

THIS is the original flag. and brother... this is a face that only a mother could love 😔✊💔💔💔
