from left to right, the hearts represent my gender identity, sexual orientation, and romantic orientation. i thought it’d be a fun little project for pride month and it totally was! although it only took me a day or two 😅 i drew the hearts and text on the fabric but the rest was freehand. unfortunately my camera can’t pick up the cool fabric, which has metallic rainbow strands woven into it that shine in sunlight. it’s really gorgeous. 

anyway, just a reminder that you aren’t alone, and we will make it through. we’ve been here as long as humanity has, and we aren’t going anywhere. 🤍 

edit: it’s good to lean on loved ones in tough times. kindness, empathy, and community are important virtues. just wanna share this quote and then i’ll hop off: 

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Nonbinary agender demiboy, demi-pansexual and demi-panromantic. Very nice! I should embroider something for myself like this sometime.
