I spent about 45 minutes walking around among a wealth of warm, kind, caring people having conversations about how to improve racial relations, fix the police problem, making artnot a gun, not a threat, its Seattle. Lots of bicycles. People with strollers and babies. Music. A hot dog truck! Every damn body wearing a mask and using hand sanitizer.
It was WONDERFUL. Its not angry. Its not punitive. Theyre trying to respect businesses, most of which were closed due to COVID anyway, but no one is intimidating anyone.
I couldnt be more proud.

(19,567 posts)I'm usually mobile so I hold my finger on the image I uploaded and the select "copy" then paste here. I wasn't sure how to explain it otherwise (I'm the WORST teacher! Lol!) but you managed to figure out my horrible lesson!
I adore the chalk art! Thank you so much for sharing.

Get your heads out of your asses.
