Update 6/5/2020 I’ve decided to make this free permanently. It’s not much but it’s one small thing I can do.

When I first designed this pattern, it was early 2017, and Trump had just taken office. I wanted to support the science march and other resistance efforts, but I was trying to be quiet about it because I didn’t want to alienate a large portion of my audience who didn’t agree with me.

Since then I’ve become more vocal on my page about issues that matter to me, and now in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, I’ve come to the point where I need to say what I feel and say it out loud.

Resist injustice. Resist bigotry. Resist hate. Resistance matters. Black. Lives. Matter.


Show your resistance to injustice, bigotry and hate with his bold, zig-zag scarf. The eye-catching motif is the symbol used on electric circuit diagrams to indicate a resistor.

You can change up the colors as you go, anywhere in the pattern. Choose colors that reflect your message, or just use up scraps. I’m in the US, and the Red, White and Blue colorblocking reflects a hope for change in this country that I love.
