Insert *heart-eyes emoji* here, because your text messages are about to get a whole lot more inclusive.
On Wednesday, Emojipedia (AKA, your source for any and all things emoji-related) confirmed that the new emoji the world has been waiting for since mid-March are finally here. For the first time ever, there’s a breast-feeding mom emoji as well as an emoji featuring a woman in a headscarf — both of which come with multiple skin tone options.
The latest collection of emoji includes a total of 69 new people, faces, and things. There is also a bearded person, a yogi in a lotus pose, a shocked face with an exploding head, a face open-mouthed vomiting, and an “I love you” hand signal.
In addition to the more inclusive human faces and signs, the new collection also features a lot of mythical creatures, including male and female wizards, fairies, and vampires. The emoji animal kingdom has gained some new members too, with a dinosaur, zebra, and giraffe, among others. There are also a slew of new food-related emoji to punctuate your messages with, including a dumpling, a coconut, and a pair of chopsticks. And since it’s 2017, there are officially male and female mermaid emoji, which you can finally pair with Instagrams of your DIY mermaid toast.

And if you're busy scrolling on your phone keyboard to find your new emoji buddies, we have bad news: Refinery29 reports that so far, the 69 new emojis are available only on Twitter’s desktop interface. That means that they look a bit different than they eventually will when they make their way into cell phone messaging apps as well as the other apps where emojis are normally used — so it’s best to start thinking about how exactly you’ll work the adorable “hedgehog” into a texting conversation as frequently as possible.
