greyscale flash 🖌️ a lot of my designs start out as watercolor paintings, but I always flatten them into solid black for the sake of simplicity. however, I'd really love to try tattooing some greyscale versions that capture the tonal range of the original paintings! (mockups in reply)

Please wear a mask when you can. Even if you don't always, even if it's not the best mask, even if you didn't this morning and you'd feel silly if you did now... any amount of masking is better than none. Nobody is perfect, we're all doing our best, please mask and protect yourself and everyone ❤️

Some things you can do. No one can do all these things, but most people can do at least one:

Feed people. There's work for you at Food Not Bombs or whatever you got going on where are.
Join a local cop watch, ICE watch, or rapid response group.
Who's being targeted in your area? Have their back.
