Me and my mom did something similar to this (last summer, I believe). Someone even had the balls to ask if we weren’t gonna stand up for the national anthem. My mom gave him a death glare and he shut up.
Love my mom 🥰
Also, in grade school, I stopped saying the “one nation, under God” thing in the pledge of allegiance because it made me uncomfortable (we’re not religious). It was my mom’s advice. Wish I hadn’t said the pledge of allegiance at all, but I wasn’t fully aware of how cult-y it was back then. Can’t believe they have children doing that every day they go to school.
But yes, please don’t succumb to being a mindless zombie for those in power. Speak out and fight back. The world won’t ever get better if we continue to do nothing.
dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.
no getting up. no looking at the flag.
everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.
But I don’t know where to start. I have an Ao3 account now, but I’d like to hear some suggestions for fics to read!

Fandoms I’m in:
1. Sonic the Hedgehog
2. Marvel Cinematic Universe
3. Percy Jackson (it’s been a while since I’ve read the books, but whatever—I’d be up for reading some fic about Nico being happy with his boyfriend or getting closure with his sister or something)
…just had an idea for a fic I could write.
I need to get on that shit.

Anyway, if y’all have any suggestions, please let me know!
>(Imaginary bonus points if it’s a really niche, underrated fic! I wanna support other small artists and writers!)<

My favorite colors are purple/green (hard to decide which one I like more) and blue!
I like drawing mushrooms (if you couldn’t already tell, lol), and I want to be able to draw realistically one day…or find my own cartoonish art style.

I think I could make it work with some practice, but I’m definitely better at shading with pencils right now.
