A more general purpose #meme template for all of your #Fetterman getting in the way of #democracy needs.

This would be perfect for wheat-pasting! Could print multiple on one sheet of cheap copy/printer paper. The more porous, the better.

What's wheat-pasting? Past me has you covered. 😅 👇

How to Wheat-Paste Posters 🧵

"Consider your safety and your privilege. “Don’t go out alone,” says Strandquist, who, as a 34-year-old white man, can poster the city in broad daylight with an impunity he knows won’t be extended to artists of color. Many of the group’s posters were put up with permission, but some are what he calls “uncommissioned.” Amplify the work and words of artists from the neighborhoods where you’re postering.

A wheat-pasted poster might be ripped down after an hour or slowly fade over a year. Think of the layered aesthetic of a collection of posters as an ongoing public conversation. “It’s a way for artists to respond to a crisis,” Strandquist says. “And help us imagine a better, more equitable world.”

How to Wheat-Paste Posters 🧵

"To cook wheat paste, use four parts water and one part flour. Start by boiling your water. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour with enough cold water to create a lump-free goo, then pour this mix into the boiling water. Turn the burner down low, and stir continuously for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir another 10 minutes. Wait until cooled to use.

Print your poster on thin paper so the paste can seep through, preferably 20-pound, uncoated bond paper. Once on site, use a wide paintbrush to add a layer of paste just slightly larger than your image. Press your poster into the paste, pushing out any air pockets. Paint another layer over the top to seal."

“Wheat paste is a way to get art and messaging into public spaces,” says Mark Strandquist, an artist from Philadelphia."

“Wheat paste is a way to get art and messaging into public spaces,” says Mark Strandquist, an artist from Philadelphia, who was walking around his neighborhood in early March, past storefronts covered over in plywood, when he realized those boards and empty windows could serve as canvases. He put out a call to artists, and within a few weeks the project, called Fill the Walls with Hope, had collected dozens of downloadable images from them. Strandquist and his fellow artists have put up more than 1,000 posters with a home-cooked glue concoction made from flour and water. Many of the posters share messages of public health and safety, among them, “Mask Up” and “Don’t Let Racism Go Viral.”
