One of my favorite tee shirts at MH protest at City Hall (photo by Dr. Maat)
Could you see me wearing a similar tee shirt.  
It would fit a variety of situations for me related to race, gender,
 wheelchair use, activism, advocacy, education, beliefs,
disability, religion, spirituality, political affiliation.... ((~_~))
