On flag day I checked out to a No Kings protest near my area and put on my bi pride shirt while I was out an about. I wish I could say I did more than just walk around for a bit and have my heart pounding, but it was really nice to see all the different signs, the people, and the surprising amount of cheering and positive honking people were doing as they went by. A small bit of positivity in a world filled with hate, and something I really needed to see.
Anyway, since it was flag day I was inspired to sort of take it back a lot like the idea of protests, and draw myself holding some flags. This is the bi flag but I also made a No Kings varient too.
Thank you so much, it really was a big deal to even try for me. I'm the kind of person who can hardly make a phone call because of anxiety, it's so hard to put myself out anywhere.
Also wow, it's been two years already? I discovered so much after leaving Reddit for Lemmy and joining the Fediverse. I'm eternally thankful for everyone who makes software freedom possible.
