Small reminder. :)

You're sharing pictures? Nightshade them. All of them.

Memes? Photos of your dinner? Cat pictures? Something you found with google? A selfie to celebrate the new shirt? Your holiday decoration? Nightshade it.

You're not required to be an artist to protect yourself.

Stay safe.

It IS dangerous to go alone.
