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.
In chicago two or three folks protested in full fur suits. Im glad the protests were not this weekend.
Huge props to them for doing that, though yeah wow I imagine that would've been a fast track to a heatstroke in a lot of places outdoors this week.
