I've been seeing "Remember: Resist" in a lot of places lately.  Okay, let's work with that.  Resistance is all about obstructing the flow of energy.  What is the purpose of resistance in activism?  It makes the opponent exert maximum effort for minimum return.  It wrecks his EROEI.  Being in a racist (classist, sexist, etc.) society doesn't make you racist, anymore than standing in a pigpen makes you a pig.  Sometimes you can stop bullying by being an upstander.  Even if you can't stop the problem, by providing resistance, you can slow it down.

I propose making jewelry out of resistors.

This lineart version would work on a button, a t-shirt, a patch, any craft that could be made with a grid chart, etc.

Now get out there and chant Ohm.

Yay!

If you tell me when those are ready for market, I can boost the signal here. Clearly my fans are interested in obstructing Herr Piece.

Fantastic, thank you! I have this one up already:



...which I made big enough, though I crashed Illustrator more than a few times, to print on their biggest tapestries. I think they'd be great flags to wave at rallies and such.

I'm donating a portion of all proceeds from the brassorchids shop to the ACLU & Planned Parenthood as well. And I'm going to duplicate the shop on Zazzle, hopefully to double the exposure.
