Aqua green hat with an all over X’s and O’s cable pattern and a pompom.
It would be a shame if the protesters began making their signs out of quarter-inch-thick plywood to stop rubber bullets, forming a tight shield wall to prevent police from singling out and mobbing individual protesters. It would be a shame if the people behind the shield wall held up umbrellas so that tear gas canisters fired over their heads on the front line will be bounced away. It would be a shame if protesters began constructing improvised armor vests out of duct tape, hard-backed books, and ceramic tiles. It would be a shame if protesters started wearing safety glasses, hard hats, respirators, and gardening gloves, all of which can be found at the same hardware stores as the plywood. It would be a shame if they started using traffic cones (the kind without the hole in the top), upside down buckets, or other improvised lids to contain teargas by placing them over the canisters. It would be a shame if protesters learned that police scanners are legal to own in the US, allowing them to learn where police are moving, and what routes they intend to take. It would be a shame if they discovered that these scanners can be used to send as well as receive, allowing them to flood the scanner frequencies with noise. All of this would be a terrible, terrible shame. *It would be an awful shame if you copied and pasted this, so that they couldn't delete the original and all linked posts (again). **An even worse shame would be to start donating these items to protesters.

Empty set of elevator lobby on Severed floor from Severance. Mid-century aesthetic furniture. Area rug is concentric shades of green, with deep green leather armchairs sitting on top. The walls are off white panels with silver vertical strips between them. The ceiling has frosted light diffusing panels with an overlaid dark grid. Shawl uses fingering weight yarn to recreate the mood of the lobby picture above. Colors and yardages are as follows: Color 1: It's Cold Outside (blue), 70 yards Color 2: Lucky Charm (green), 187 yards Color 3: Dirty Truce (bile green), 200 yards Color 4: All The Way to the Bank (teal green), 53 yards Color 5: Bare Necessities (off white), 388 yards Color 6: London Fog (medium gray), 173 yards Please enjoy all colors equally. Shawl is worked from the center out (innie to outie) and therefore requires a long circular needle: US5 (3.75 mm) 60" long. The first 2 sections are most easily worked using the Magic Loop technique, until the stitch counts fill out and make it easier to turn corners. See alt on second pic for continuation.
