Do we have a solid black avatar?

I would like to put one up on inauguration day and keep it. I am Italian American and it is a tradition to wear black for a year after the death of a spouse or child in mourning. I would like to do that here. It seems fitting. I would not mind a Facebook one either like the French flag that was going around...

DU didn't have Gigantor... Or R2D2, or Ash, or a Dialek, or K-9. So I sprung for the modest amount I could afford.

Symbolizing the constitutional crisis and distress our country is in. The black symbolizes death and mourning - which is what is happening too - of our nation and democracy. But I want it to be perfectly clear - that we are in a time of war with Russia and a stolen election and illegitimate candidate who did not win, but rather is benefiting from a stolen election and the traitors in the Congress that are aiding and abetting and are treasonous and not defending our country and constitution from enemies foreign and domestic.

with a black bow hanging off it is hanging off my balcony. As an Irish American whose family has been here for hundreds of years. Pre-Potato Famine. Every single member of my family has served this country since we arrived.

The sins and high crimes this POS has already committed will have to be meet by the fervent and unmistakable protest at all levels of our society.
