I just don't understand how to live amidst this. So angry and bewildered, all the time.

Anishinaabe cultural references with a cottage core vibe! Original stamp designs of a rabbit, flower, and male bison, stamped in a variety of patterns on recycled paper cards and colored in with pencils. Chill repetitive art making on October 9th… #ojibwe #anishinaabe #nativeart

We won't make the national news bc our crowds were smaller & the photos aren't as impressive to ppl who aren't from here, but I rly hope that ppl in big cities understand that small cities and towns all over showed out today, too.

Some had their largest protests in living memory. Ppl are pissed.
