Following Twisted Doodles

A comic by Twisted Doodles showing two donuts with faces. The left donut has a hole and the right donut is jelly filled. The left donut is saying, "You're one jammy f*cker." and the right donut is saying, "Well you're a holey show." Text surrounding them says Good friends… donut fight.

I appreciate his patience as I switch cameras, change film, and take hundreds of photos…

Following The Representation Project

A drawing of seven women by Typer Feder via The Representation Project. The women are different colors, sizes, and abilities. All of them have one hand up in a powerful fist emulating the famous "We can do it" poster.
I'm following The Representation Project on Instagram. Their feed of memes, screenshots, images from news, and social media screenshots. Their self proclaimed mission is "Challenging and overcoming limiting stereotypes so that everyone can fulfill their human potential."
