cryptid represented as a masked, pink haired person in overalls surrounded by strawberries, roses, and ripped maps with the caption: "reintroduction: last year, i started posting on ig under the pseudonym cryptid. at that point in the pandemic i really felt like a creature that may or may not exist. making little covid memes on grief & joy has been cathartic & really, truly fun for me. since then, i have made quite many friends who mask & we have been dreaming up ways to exist in community!! even still i do enjoy being just another stranger on the internet who takes covid seriously."
text reads, "we need each other: we do not live alone and we do not die alone. we need each other. this is our first rodeo! it's okay to fuck up - when you know better do better. it's okay to go slow - rest is revolutionary. it's okay to do what you can with what you have - all liberation is bound up in each other. sometimes it's only scary because you're alone. community-building is hard, but it is not impossible. let's find ways to move together."
text reads, "choose your own adventure: how might you...get to know your neighbours better? make an emergency plan for your pod? share skills or resources with your local mask bloc? advocate for a mask policy or air purifiers in your workplace? attend town halls (online/offline) to pressure your local officials? share access to your car, printer, stamps? reach out to event organizers, services, and businesses to advocate for clean air? learn skills to share in community such as first aid, carpentry, sewing, etc.? start swapping and bartering?"
hi!! it's me, your friendly neighbourhood cryptid coming to you from instagram and unsure how this all works 💖
a little (re)introduction all to say i am a hopeful romantic, but a very practical one! i want to process big feelings through action and in community ✨
