What region is it in this time?

I agree on Michief Night. It's a good change of pace from the other, longer-running events.

I'm sorry, what and where?

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

A poster in green ink on off white paper. In the center is a woodcut style illustration of a protester wearing an inflatable frog costume standing up against two ICE agents. The text above and below reads:
