“Spectral Locus” (2016)
Sending love and healing for the victims shot in Buffalo yesterday. We need gun control. This was racially directed hate. Having more freedom with guns has lead to more gun deaths. Ugh. This saddens me… love and healing to the citizens and victim’s families of Buffalo. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤❤️‍🩹💖💟 taken in Buffalo, New York by @browdertown
