#MaskUp
Art created by @bootsbloodpoetry.bsky.social An illustrative meme of two grizzly bears in a convertible car made of clouds and tires driving through light pink and purple clouds. The background is a dark blue night sky with a large rainbow behind the car. The image is a spin off of the car scene from the Mean Girls movie, except instead of it saying, "Get in loser, we're going shopping," it says, “Get in comrade… We’re going cruising,” in white text. The two grizzly bears, one in the back and one in the front, are sitting inside a fluffy light pink cat shaped car with glowing blue headlights. There is a red “circle a” symbol on the car’s back bumper. Each bear is wearing an N95 mask—one bear has a mint green hanky around their neck with a black button that has white text that says, “AIDS Action Now!” on the right side. The bear driving has a black leather bulldog harness with the "Silence = Death" Collective's iconic AIDS activist button from the late 1980s pinned onto the right side of the harness. On the side of the car, hang black, navy, grey, red, orange, pink, yellow, white, and hunter green hankies. The bear who is driving is wearing a black leather cap.
