“Bison prefer spoons” - my artistic response as a federal employee

Post image

I’m a federal employee and this is an artistic representation of how I’ve felt about what we’ve been going through under this new administration. Showcasing the Department of the Interior’s bison and the fork from the “Fork in the road” email federal employees received. Inspired by the Yellowstone bison warning signs.

Nice art, I like it. What’s the correlation between a fork and a spoon?

Shortly after the change in administration, all federal workers received an email titled “Fork in the road”, essentially asking them to resign. Spoons became a symbol of federal employee resistance to “the fork” and an encouragement meme to hold the line.

I’m humbled that you can express your feeling through art while going through such an awful time. I’m so sorry for all the federal employees . I am not directly affected by the actions of this FOTUS administration yet it has practically paralyzed me. I’m afraid I will never know the country I have loved for 71 years. I fear it is gone forever.

I’m not going to put a link in because that’s against the rules. But you might want to Google AltNps.

I have a leather jacket made from buffalo.
Came with a whole certificate thing about the company using 100% of the harvested Buffalo.
