I had this moment of trepidation when opening this email this morning. The subject was ‘celebrating the 4th in fine fashion’. There’s been a rash of July 4th crafts going round the internet at the mo. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with July 4 crafts, I just get nervous around patriotic fervour…
But I was much relieved to discover the link was to this super cool bookmark
It’s by RCSP crew Katie Lee and I reckon it’s ace. She has this to say:
Super simple, I know, but in order to celebrate any sort of “Independence” we must also celebrate the thinkers, artists and activists (including ourselves) who don’t follow or agree with the status quo, and are always questioning, learning, creating and sharing.
Hear hear! I reckon some of the ‘founding ‘fathers’ would roll in their graves if they could see the state of the empire.
Katie Lee and I have been working on a wee collaboration too. Stay tuned!
