ibarw icons
Argh! I meant to post these earlier, and to have more of them to post, but: it's International Blog Against Racism Week, and my meager offering of icons may be found here.

My intent was to icon things that I have seen said over and over in discussions of racism, to increase efficiency (I don't know, it made sense at the time). I had grand ambitions of a whole series of writing-on-the-blackboard style "I will not"s, but as with most of my grand ambitions, they have to date yielded exactly two icons.

I'm also available to make custom icons, and to make changes to these -- for instance, changing the Irish ancestors one from first person to second person, or altering a color scheme. Feel free to modify them or make your own using the same text; I'm awful at text-only icons.

Someone should find a way to make that color blind one appear as if it's actually a test for color blindness.

just making it red-orange on green -or vice-versa- would be evil enough, color-blind-wise.

I'm tempted, but I kind of worry about somebody who's actually color blind seeing the icon out of context . . .

Your creativity surpasses my own. Possibly so does your tolerance for red and green dots.

On the contrary, these are lovely!

These are awesome. I particularly like #324 & #687!!! If you make a second-person one for #687, could you post? Thanks.

I'm glad you like, and here is a second-person version!

I have a request, but please feel free to tell me no, because I know it's more work--I would adore a Gunn icon saying something like FIGHT RACISM or COLORBLIND IS BLIND. I've been looking for a Gunn icon for a while and haven't yet found one that suits me (let alone with anti-racist text).

Hey, it gives me an excuse to stare at Gunn for a while, ergo it is not work at all.

I threw in a third slogan because I randomly recalled that there is an AtS episode called "Why We Fight." I am still on the beginning of s4, though, so I have no idea if it's a terrible episode or inappropriate in context or anything. And if you'd like a different shot of him, I do have the whole series at my disposal to screencap. :D

*laugh* The episode involves submarines, although it is one of my favorite S5 episodes. Thank you so much! Snagging them all, and will of course credit when used.

Man, I wish we could fight racism with submarines.

I am disappointed at the lack of cat macro ones. *grin* Unless that's 'impressed.'

I will get back to you when I figure out which.

Meanwhile, I beam at them!

I was -- amazingly -- trying to be at least a little productive. I feel like cat macros are a last resort.

But I still love the LET ME TELL YOU INTERNETS ... IT IS HARD BEING WHITE one.

I keep trying to think of a good image for INVISIBLE BROWN PEOPLE.

You have corrupted me, Shati. All your fault.

You could do a shot of the Firefly cast with INVISIBLE CHINESE PEOPLE?

It's like you think cat macros are not the greatest of human achievements. :(

Have adopted the colorblind text one, and am admiring the Gunn ones lots. :) You win at icons.

Come to think of it, didn't I promise you some Gunn icons, a long time ago?

Mmmmmmmaybepossibly?

Alas, I cannot remember. This in no way means that I would turn them down, if such were to appear. :)
