Protest As Performance Art?

That's my definition of the type of daily protest I've been doing over the last two years through our National Nightmare while living and trying to breathe with a Kremlin installed POTUS. 

Whether riding my bike with signs.

Standing my ground when men (with privilege) bowl past me while I'm jogging, (as if I'm the one who should move) or when they shout obscenities while I'm riding my bicycle thinking they're the bike path police.

And LOVE Rules. 

Stay Strong kind-hearted friends, this fight for justice isn't over yet. Make your daily living a protest by speaking out, standing up, and protecting each other.

P.S. I'll add -- all the exaggerated cough-hacking I do when caustic exhaust blows into my face. Especially from those commercial vehicles! 

We need much stricter laws for this! 

Considering how important breathing is.
