The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

Martin Luther King, Jr. fought to end our nation's deliberate neglect and abuse of Black Americans. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.
At this pivotal moment, we honor his legacy by fighting injustice in all its forms, with everything we've got.

Just a couple of photos from my axe propmaking workshops I did for Holiday Matsuri and Rose City Comic Con. I love teaching project-based classes!
Turning a 1-day build into a teachable 2-hour build is a good challenge. These are super fun and students learn a lot about working with foam and tools!
One day we will meet in person! β€οΈπβ€οΈ

~MAKING OF LIARA~
Some WIPs of how I made my Liara cosplay! The breastplate, gauntlets, & leg armor are all EVA foam, but I 3D modeled & printed the biceps, shoe armor, & various buckles. The carbon fiber pattern was airbrushed on with leather paint & a stencil.
