Anyone from the wild and wonderful state of West Virginia can use this exact hand signal to show you where they live in the state. What? Did you think it was obscene? Psssh. Get your mind out of the gutter.

Declare your autonomy!

Remind yourself and others that the personal isn't trivial. The personal is political.

Nowhere is somewhere to me. And if it's somewhere to you, too, let this design spark your wanderlust.

Courage isn't having no fear. Courage is doing it afraid.

Let your love go freely with this design.

Justice for all.

But so are you.

Let justice be done, though the heavens fall.

Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not. As a queer woman-ish person who is also married to a man, I find it incredibly important to my mental health to be as out as I possibly can be. Yes, I have an amount of protection and privilege in that I can “pass” as straight. But with that privilege comes a very heavy burden of erasure and invisibility. When I started working on my preliminary sketches for this, I tried to narrow down what exactly I wanted to visually communicate. Being queer in the way in which I am means I’m constantly coming out, and sometimes I wish I could just stand on a podium and yell at anyone who will listen that I AM NOT STRAIGHT STOP MAKING ASSUMPTIONS.
