A safety pin holds things together—and became a quiet symbol of solidarity with people made to feel unsafe or unwelcome. Wear this one as a promise to stand beside someone when things start coming apart.
The pin is sturdy and sits flat against my sock, so it doesn't snag when I pull my boots on. I've been wearing it on the ankle for a couple weeks now and it still holds its shape. It's a small thing, but it means something every time I notice it.
The clasp is sturdier than the cheap pins I usually lose, so it actually stays put on my canvas bag. I docked a star only because it's a bit small for thicker fabrics.
I've been pinning this to my jacket collar for a couple weeks now and the clasp hasn't loosened at all. Only thing is the metal is a bit heavier than I pictured, so it tugs slightly on thinner fabrics. Still, it's become my quiet little reminder to show up for people.
