A person standing in the middle of a New York City street. Their body is facing the camera, while they're looking to the viewer's right side. They are wearing a white dress. They are supporting a black scooter in their right hand, while their left arm is on their left hip.

"We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be." ~ Grant Morrison #streetphotography #NYC
An actual good way to disperse your excess cash instead of buying me weird saddles is to help out my friend and brother Mohamed, who is trying to keep his family alive in Al Mawasi camp in Gaza. If you've got a couple dollars to share with with him I'd be grateful.

“The Tulsa race massacre stands out as a civil rights crime unique in its magnitude, barbarity, racist hostility and its utter annihilation of a thriving Black community.”
