The Ballad of the Portland Frog Brigade

&t=187s

I like the frog symbol very much. I'm going to get all my old frog-themed jewelry out and start wearing it as a quiet statement of solidarity.

determinedly,
Bright

And decided to do a quick search in case I was creating a duplicate entry.

Glad I checked, but this video/song needs so much more attention!

It is charming and touching and sounds forth with a clear, simple message.

And if anyone is interested, the same content creator has a video titled, "No Nazis in Valhalla". It's so cool to see someone reclaiming Norse iconography from White supremacists.

There's not a damn thing wrong with celebrating European heritage, be it Northern, Southern or Eastern. It adds texture and beauty to one's identity, but it doesn't make anyone BETTER than anyone else.

As an Anthropology student, I was taught that every culture on Earth is just an adaptation to all the same needs and challenges faced by humanity. . . Ultimately, that is what all we have to claim for ourselves and share with each other--our humanity. . . And if we have to do it dressed like frogs, then so be it!
