Thanks to Dane Grey for this week's artwork. What happens when one symbol is used for conflicting reasons? And can the dinosaur emoji avoid redefinition - or extinction? Join Ben and Amory as they explore the history of dinosaur emoji in LGBTQ+ communities and their more recent use as an online dog-whistle for anti-trans activists. You can find more of their work on Instagram or on their Redbubble page (Dane Rex).Įmoji might not be 66 million years old, but they are pretty much everywhere.
