A Reassuring Friend

This little bluebird has got your back. He is from a vintage embroidery transfer and is hand embroidered on second hand fabric. I did all those tiny letters myself!

Nolite te bastardes carborundorum is a mock-Latin aphorism jokingly taken to mean "don't let the bastards grind you down".
Did you read The Handmaid's Tale? This is the phrase that Offred found carved in the furniture in her room.

The embroidery is securely mounted on a 5" by 7" inch canvas that is 0.5" deep, so it is kind of like a little shelf. You could put another little bird on top! Or a voodoo doll!

This would be perfect in a bathroom so you could look at it while you brush your teeth.
