This is the place where I try and be as honest as I can; a mixture between photography, fashion, or rather anything that is moving to me -- also full of references for films I have yet to see

On the left is Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, a 16 year old Yemeni-American boy killed while eating dinner at an outdoor restaurant by a drone strike ordered by Obama in 2011.

On the right is his 8 year old sister, Nora Al-Awlaki, who was killed on January 29, 2017 by a military raid ordered by Donald Trump.

This is one of the saddest and most striking reminders of how the U.S. military under both Democratic and Republican presidencies is able to kill innocent lives in the global south with impunity.

We need to realize that Trump is not a unique threat. Trump is a continuation of a tradition of imperial and colonial violence practiced Obama, Bush, Clinton, and all american leaders for centuries.

you can get clear plastic rubber spacers to put in your piercings if youre worried about them closing. stage makeup is made to be completely opaque and sweat proof consider using this for covering up tattoos, concealer is not opaque enough. leave your id and wallet at home, bring a change pouch for cash. write important numbers on your arms and legs. dont just turn your location off turn your whole phone off with the battery and sim card out, only turn it on unless you need too (if you have an iphone keep it at home and get a contact/safety buddy). pin your house keys, change pouch or anything small and important on the inside of your pants or the inside of pockets to prevent losses during physical altercations. double up on socks they become pockets, and are great if you cant leave your debit/credit card at home.

to truly protect you identity you need to cover your hair, get dark sunglasses, a mask that covers around your face, a bandana and the masks we us to stop covid frm spreading show too much skin, which is really important for black and brown folks to cover, all black gloves, black shirt/jacket and pants. tuck your pants legs into your shoes or socks to help prevent them getting caught on things or pulled off. skip oil based lotions and hair care products bc tear gas binds to oils, it also binds to many other things like clothes so dressing in layers or having backup clothes in a black backpack help, also keep plastic bags incase u need to change out of your gassed clothes and dont wanna keep them in your bag.

stay safe! stay organizing!
