ABOUT OVER RULED:
Large red letters command “NO DANCING” from afar but don’t be fooled by the message. Passersby are encouraged to flout the rules and shake their tail feathers to their heart’s content. The outer layer you can see from far away, and people think it’s cheeky that someone would tell you not to dance.

Then you look closer, and you see there are nine real stories of nine lives affected by rules or repression, assembled as a petition for restorative justice and social acceptance. Every human being follows a path to become their true self; for some the way is short, and for others long. We hope people who enjoy this piece will join us in accepting this alternative theory of justice in pursuit of a more equitable society.
