This photo perfectly encapsulates the vibe of the last #NoKings protest I was at in June.
I mean, good luck trying to make scary terrorists out of people in frog & unicorn costumes and a golden retriever wearing a rainbow, I guess. Anyone actually looking with their own eyes won't be fooled.

College Sara (c. 1987) was an early adopter of the Bettie Page revival bangs look with neo-Victorian/proto-Goth tendencies. Also extremely, unbelievably nerdy. Like "I read The Silmarillion at 15 and liked it, also had D&D in the pink box" nerdy.

We need to reject the choices that aren't working and find something new.
And if you think capitalism as it currently operates is working, you are not paying attention.

It's amazing how people will just tell on themselves with zero self awareness or even a moment of reflection.

Living Like Lions and Bears is 100% authored by me, who is definitely a human and not uh, something else. Anyway I can guarantee that no AI was involved in the production of these words. The only robots are IN the poems, not behind them.

This is a cheerful, friendly, witty crowd... like most protests I've ever been to.
Lots of American flags. Lots of supportive honking from people driving by.
Don't believe the propaganda #NoKings #ChattanoogaTN

Walking around the River Arts District in Asheville. They are still recovering BUT plenty of places are open and the best way to help them right now is to visit (and buy some beautiful art). #helene #asheville #rad
