a quote from desperate hollow by lauren shippen in the center surrounded by a few photos from canva of silhouettes of cowboys in front of sunsets that remind me of the trans flag and streamers in trans flag colors. the other photos are taken by mir: a photo of a pink and blue sunset over a beach, graffiti that says 'the divine rights of trans people', and white flowers on a tree.
