memes pass them on ![]() riseupcascadians.jpg Just in case a meme again is an idea that spreads like a virus. Nike uses
"Just do it" and the Nike swoosh. For Cascadia if you can not get access to the internet (because of blocks and EMPs in the future) or can not afford or make the Doug or can not make stickers or wish to get the message out in silence then here is the most simplest meme to write on a wall in felt tip pen: Rise Up Cascadians with the stick figure of the Doug Fir (ideally with the blue, white and green or if just one color dark green or any green or just black).. if you have the time and artistry then a map of Cascadia would be nice. We should call the stick figure tree "Moolah Stik" which is the Chinook Jargon word for Douglas Fir tree (literally saw mill tree or money tree.. the Chinook Jargon word for Cedar was "kanim stik" meaning canoe tree). So the second easy to get out meme (if you have some spare change, but not lots of money) is to go to a local cheap store (what use to be called 99 cent stores... maybe there are still around) and buy a stack of Amerikan flag stickers... the small ones you see on car windows ... then take permenant felt tip pens and upside down write "Free Cascadia" on each flag ... I would suggest blue for "free" and green for "Cascadia"... The upside down flag should have the indigo blue field of stars on the bottom right. The word "free" should be in the white and red stripes and the "Cascadia" should have the "dia" part end up on the indigo blue field (hence why it should be green so as to show up on the dark blue). I call this Dia in the Sky (Dia meianing Goddess in Latin). Then just go around and stick it where lots of people will see it. I can not personally suggest putting it on cop cars and public buses.. that would be wrong. And putting on federal building would be wrong too. And no matter what make sure the sticker is clean .. no one wants to see unslightly stickers with dirt, grease, finger prints, nose hair or lint on them. Getting those things on them would be a form of littering. By the way flying the American flag upside down is not a dishonor of the flag, but is suppose to indicate "a ship in crises" and I would say "we" are in crises.
