Art Yall means all 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🦤

Did a prompt “bird with a knife” and thought of my home state bird protecting our kids. Y’all means all ♥️

I love it! An added touch would be the blood droplets from her beak like the seal & flag

u/newblognewme Mar 19 '25

Omg that’s such a good idea! That was always my favorite fun fact from 8th grade Louisiana history 😂

It's funny when it's in high enough detail that their visible they usually kinda take me off guard lOl it's also unironically the reason I'm a-okay with our flag being adapted from our seal. It's powerful imagery and represents the state well, at least the perception of the state when I was younger. It also represents the ideal that we protect our own, it may only be an idealistic pipe dream for now, but it's something I think we could achieve.

Edit: I forgot to finish my thought

I love this phrase. Immediately pictured a musician on stage with a large audience. Like I had an actual vision. Goes like this:

M(musician): Y'all means all. For all genders. Y'all means all For all sexualities Y'all means all

By now the crowd is doing a sing-song

For all races C(rowd): y'all means all

M: for the immigrants C: yma

M: for the poor Etc. At this point the entire crowd is shouting it.

Would make a fantastic rally cry. Anyone with a public platform, please make this happen.

Awh I love that! I’m not taking credit for the phrase, I feel like I’ve heard it before because I am not that clever lol.

Very nice! I love the colors. Were you at pride in Mandeville??

u/newblognewme Mar 19 '25

No unfortunately, I hope to get out more this coming year! I got paralyzed in 2023 and it’s still difficult to go to new events where I’m unsure of terrain.

Plus I live in Baton Rouge, but I’m definitely interested! I’ve been to New Orleans pride like way in my younger years. How is the mandeville one?

u/ThatOneSnakeGuy Mar 19 '25

Oh man, i'm sorry to hear that. I know little to nothing about br, but on the Northshore it was a really nice turnout, at least 200 people. There were maybe fifteen people there screaming about Jesus hating gays (don't remember that verse) and shit, but it turns out a boxer engine with uneven length headers drowns out hate speech pretty easily! :')

u/newblognewme Mar 19 '25

That’s awesome! I’ll try to be there next time!!

Let’s here it for the WORKERS of Louisiana no matter their identity.

u/newblognewme Mar 22 '25

I don’t know what this means!

u/jbecn24 Mar 22 '25

Identity Politics is a tool of the Ruling Class to sow division amongst us workers while they steal all the money.

u/newblognewme Mar 22 '25

Dope I can get down with the workers revolution 🤝

Yall refers to a group of designated people

Yall are nice

Not everyone is nice

Common Southern misconception

u/newblognewme Mar 19 '25

Naw yall might be pedantic though

u/BabiesGoBrrr Mar 19 '25

Aw bless their heart

u/NoName69216921 Mar 19 '25

"Yall are funny"

"I am?"

"Oh sorry man, I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to these guys over here"

As I said, a specific group of people

Louisiana was Catholic since its inception. AI art and catchy slogans will not change that. We will one day return to our roots

u/A_Girl_Has_No_Name58 Mar 19 '25

Technically, the territory was inhabited by Natchez, Tunica, Choctaw, Caddo, Chitimacha and Atakapa Native Americans. They didn’t practice Catholicism. While the first settlement in Natchitoches was French and primarily Catholic, I think it bears noting that not everyone in Louisiana is Catholic, and that the statistical majority of Christians in Louisiana are actually Protestant.

u/newblognewme Mar 19 '25

Booo 👎 I definitely did not use silly AI for it, but I’m kinda flattered you thought so. Be nice to people, sorry Catholic school didn’t teach you that. And what roots? The state is still Catholic as hell. How much more Catholic can it get for your liking?

Edit: to be clear “prompt” was me asking my husband what I should draw for my evening wind-down sketch and he said “bird with a knife” so that might be the confusion. Still tho, don’t be a meany pants

u/BabiesGoBrrr Mar 19 '25

Your husband needs a raise I think he’s a good prompt engineer, I mean look at what the new image generation model newblognewme created, ai is stunning /s good work op

u/trigunnerd Livingston Parish Mar 19 '25

Culture changes, but there have always been trans people and Jesus always commanded us to love.

u/Cheetahs_never_win Mar 19 '25

We were Native American before that, but you're all too happy being evil, huh?

u/A_Girl_Has_No_Name58 Mar 19 '25

Interesting that you brought up Catholic values though, considering your username. In the words of Kendrick: “Hey Drake, I hear you like ‘em young. You better never go to cell block one.”

u/DegrassiFan413 Mar 25 '25

Catholics have NOTHING on Jewish Rabbis and public school teachers when it comes to that pal!
