Another G.I.P.

This one was inspired by a comment from jesse_the_k, yesterday:

Sometimes concrete progress happens.
TEASPOON BY TEASPOON

Actually, to be honest, the very first thing I thought of, reading that, was the quote from the Fourth Doctor, explaining how he defeated the story's Villain: "Well, to be fair, I did have a couple of gadgets he didn't -- like a teaspoon and an open mind." (<-- paraphrased, maybe?)

But that's more evocative of a singular victory over a single foe, and not as fitting for something like dismantling the hegemony of bigotry (pick your ism, or pick all of them) in our culture. Besides, it's copyrighted by the Beeb. And I wanted something copyrighted by me (I'm contemplating making this a shirt and/or button (Badge) design for my Zazzle shop).

Oooh I love this!

Thanks! I figure it'll fit political contexts, but also be good for those days when you're low on spoons...

I'm also pleased (If I say so, myself) with its optimistic tone -- even while acknowledging the enormity of [X].

[jesse_the_k]

Exactly correct.

(It's self-analyzing political art! I wish all art was this densely nifty).

Well, I don't know... sometimes, you need the airiness of whipped cream to go with your flourless chocolate cake. If everything were dense, it might get overwhelming.
