Do you own a flag?

Cjbro48,

@evan flags? Multi faith prayer flags. Here’s one from the Lama Foundation.

@evan
I own several black handkerchiefs that could serve as flags in a pinch

@evan has a nice flag. Not sure where one could be bought though.

sysop,

@evan Qualified yes.

I have a pride flag around here somewhere, but I don't know where it is. 😅

evan,
@evan@cosocial.ca avatar

A good poll! I'm qualified yes. We have a small French flag in the Citroen, and some other small flags around the house. I don't think we have a full-size flag.

@evan 🏴‍☠️🇪🇺🇩🇪 In order of appreciation from most to least.

emma,

@evan we have trans and queer flags, but no US flags.

@evan

Qualified yes. I’ve got a Canadian flag windsock that I fly from a tree branch in the summer. I’d like to find two more windsock flags: an orange indigenous “Every Child Matters” and a rainbow LGBTQ2S 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 to fly alongside our 🇨🇦.

@evan For each country I visited I have a small flag in my collection

spacehobo,

@evan My favourite flag is the old glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark

emma,

@evan do you mean a nation state flag?

pinkopalest,

@evan Ι used to have an italian rainbow flag with "pace" on it, but I can't seem to find it. So a qualified yes from me

chaz6,

@evan I have a small pair of table flags from Denmark that were a gift from my in-laws, does that count?

@evan I have the flag of Barbados 🇧🇧

evan,

@iamspialelo with the trident? That's a badass flag

iamspialelo,
@iamspialelo@hachyderm.io avatar

@evan Yep! Whenever I look at it, I think of my family back home.

@evan I fly a Welsh flag for St. David's Day each year. Some of my fellow Midwestern neighbors probably think I'm into LARPing or something similarly nerdy.

(only a handful take the time to talk and know I'm actually from Wales)

I use red flag icons, wouldn't say I own them...

@evan

I have an Indian flag made out of khadi cloth at my office. And we have some Tibetan prayer flags outside.

I have been wanting to get a flag for quite a while. In my humble opinion, it's the best city flag in the world.

Cbfoley,

@seanbala @evan that's a STUNNING tray 😍

@Cbfoley @evan

Thank you! 🤗

I got it in Rajasthan while I lived in India. One of the best kept secrets when travelling there is that every state has government-run handicraft cooperative shops that sell great handicrafts at reasonable (fixed) prices.

Cbfoley,

@seanbala @evan What a great thing.

Especially when producing beauties like that!

@evan two of them:
Pride Ally flag
Flag of my region

I don't own a country flag, however.

TheRussellParadox,

@evan No i’m not a gentoo user

kfury,
@kfury@mstdn.social avatar

@evan This feels like a yes/no question, unless it speaks to the concept of to what degree one can 'own' a flag?

evan,
@evan@cosocial.ca avatar

@kfury a few of the people had QYs or QNs because they owned trans pride flags but not national flags, or they owned miniature flags but not full-sized, or they owned flag-themed decorations but not the rectangular cloth. It's really interesting to me how many variations of "sort of..." there are.

kfury,
@kfury@mstdn.social avatar

@evan I want to say I guess I’m more of a binary person but I should clarify that I’m only speaking in the logical, not heteronormative, sense.

kfury,
@kfury@mstdn.social avatar

@evan On the other side of the issue I felt weird saying ‘strong yes’ because I’m not at all emphatic about my flag ownership.

mattlehrer,
@mattlehrer@definitely.social avatar

@evan qualified no because I don’t own a flag but I do own Eddie Izzard’s Dressed to Kill

eb,
@eb@social.coop avatar

@evan I have an American flag. It is stowed when I am ashamed, and flown when I am proud.

It is not flown very much.

foo,
@foo@fosstodon.org avatar

@evan A flag pole? A flag pole. I don't even own a flag, let alone many flags that would necessitate an entire pole. What am I going to do with a flag pole?

(Apropos of nothing, I do actually own several flags, including the flag of My People. Did you know custom flags are surprisingly affordable?)

juggles,
@juggles@mas.to avatar

@evan but I don't display it. My patriotic days are, I think, over.

@julesbl@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@evan I've got pride and EU flags
