“Disapproving Rabbits Backstory”

Twenty years ago I won the Internet lottery and my website Disapproving Rabbits got a book deal, basically bad photos of rabbits looking angry with captions on how dismayed they are with humanity. We had merch to go with it. Eventually, we archived the site and stopped selling merch, but the fan base lived on and I would often get requests to bring back the merch. During Operation Metro Surge, I learned about The Bond Between who were taking in animals that were stranded in winter after their families were disappeared by ICE. I brought back the merch, added an element of ICE protests and sold it, giving the proceeds to The Bond Between. I also decided to immortalize it in crop art thanks to my friend Gayle.
