Description: In the wise words of one Samwise Gamgee in Peter Jackson's "The Two Towers" — "There is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for." May his eternal optimism and grit inspire you to keep fighting for the good in the world, even when it seems everything is just too dark.
Description: "Nothing about us without us" has long been a rallying cry in the disabled community, and it's spread beyond that original use. Nevertheless, this design focuses on the original intent, with all sorts of disability aids and meds displayed all around. Lastly, the phrase itself appears in Braille at the bottom of the design. (Try adding fabric paint to this section so it works as actual Braille!)

Description: 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.
