I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Gouache and digital painting of a man with black hair, wearing a long sleeve black shirt, his arms are crossed over his chest, palms both open, and he has a solemn expression. There are flowers and vines growing out of the black colors of the illustration, and are protruding out of his silhouette.

Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

People with guns proudly posing in front of the Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

A bulletproof Emmett Till memorial. Riddled with bullet dents.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats.

When we help those in need, we help everyone.

Nederland laat Palestijnen bewust verhongeren.
Dat is geen hyperbool, het is de realiteit.

Als staat heeft Nederland zowel een juridische als morele plicht om het internationaal humanitair recht te handhaven. Niets doen, is kiezen. Niets doen, is medeplichtig zijn.

The Black Panthers didn't mock people for their lack of education. They taught people how to read

A lot of people need to hear this

I finished Who Fears Death yesterday and ughhh it was so good. So well put together. You’re amazing so I fully agree with you auntie

Make no mistake:

Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’

As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

'Het voelt bijna absurd om in herinnering te roepen, maar het uithongeren, opjagen of collectief straffen van burgers is volledig in strijd met internationale wetten. Wat het nog ondraaglijker maakt is dat de vaandeldragers van het internationale recht, Nederland en de EU voorop, toekijken.'

If your vote threatens someone's right to exist, then yeah I judge you based on your vote.

Me, roller skating along a smooth forest path. High trees and moss surround me.

Did my first trail skating last weekend! I am having so much fun with this hobby

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

My legs and feet while sitting on the floor outside. I’m wearing black roller skates and white vans socks.

I decided to start roller skating. Did it once or twice when I was a kid and thought: why not. I will be outside more and active as well! I do have to take it slow because of my connective tissue issues, but that won’t stop me!

Dear constantly pessimistic people,

Fuck you.

You're not helping anyone.

You never have, you never will.

My flame girl character smiling and flipping the bird with both hands as she says “I hope to always be a splinter in your heart.” “Healing era, but still fuck you.”

The creative juices said healing doesn’t have to include forgiveness

Imagine thinking conditions like autism and ADHD are overdiagnosed when there's so many of us struggling along without a formal diagnosis.

If anything these conditions remain underdiagnosed.

Perfectionism is hitting hard so time to still draw the thing, thinking I’ll draw it ”badly” or more sloppily but that’s still better than not drawing anything at all

Three serving trays with pots of dirt and herbs sitting on a table.

Here we go! Trying to grow our own herbs again. Last time it went really well, but the plants didn’t survive us moving homes sadly.

De SGP die klaagt over een gebrek aan scheiding tussen moskee en staat. The irony of it all!

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment.

Happy World Book Day.

I finished Raybearer and… why has this been on my shelves without me picking it up for so long??? I’m so stupid for not reading this sooner. I absolutely loved it. Jordan Ifueko did an amazing job and I’m immediately going to dive into Redemptor. Highly recommend.

Yes yes yes yes yes!!! We told you it’s an amazing book!!! So glad you like it.

I care about the middle class. Shoot, occasionally I am even in the middle class. But I need us to care deeper. If our fight isn’t centering the poorest, the most vulnerable, the most marginalized, then even victory will be a compromise. We have to care deeper if we ever want to have actual freedom.

One reason I struggle with public transport is a lot of people don’t use headphones in public. I do not care to hear multiple people playing music and scrolling TikTok with their volume on full blast all at the same time.
