This is such an important reminder for me as a _white_ person: to never rest assured that I got this inner racism problem figured out.
Because if even anarchist scholars – who are passionate proponents of equality and usually highly sensitive to unjust power dynamics – are haunted by white supremacist structures as big as the Marshmalllow Man, I better shut the fuck up and start listening.
In these days of global #BlackLivesMatter protests and #juneteenth celebrations, I #amReading Stowasser’s German book #Anarchie! about the history of #anarchy.
And boy does it feel off how _white_ anarchism is supposed to be:
• #Bakunin – white;
• #Proudhon – white;
• #EmmaGoldman – white;
Am I supposed to believe that a movement of freedom and equality for all mankind has never appealed to Black folks?
Luckily, this Black Anarchism Reader filled in some blanks:

When I drew this volcano, I was curious about smoke and clouds, how they differ and how I could draw them. The original black and white drawing felt quite dense because there are a lot of small lines. I tried to give it a softer look by making this colored version.

heard two cis dudes at Marvel are introducing a pair of nonbinary heroes named (i shit you not) "Snowflake" and "Safespace". i figured i should do them a solid and design a pair of cisgender superheroes for them as well, since i know how hard up for representation cis folks are

Everyone saying that pride month was cancelled, but it actually feels like the most genuine pride month in a long time.
No corporate floats or rainbow branding. Just people angry and pushing to change the world.

‘Herds’ of moss balls living on glaciers in Iceland and Alaska travel as a group in a coordinated way. They move about 2.5cm day but are not rolling down slopes, following the sun or being pushed by the wind. (Image: Carsten ten Brink) https://t.co/7GCMZY6s81

Pantheon is for everyone, especially its black creator.
After having been signaled three days ago by a quarantined resident of Southwick, Mass. to save humanity, #Batman finally descends upon Philadelphia to join the #GeorgeFloydProtests; #Joker seen in Minneapolis. 😶

More development sketches - approaching Dryden Vos’ hangout and more Vandor habitat stuff. I remember drawing these on a flight to NZ to start working on Mortal Engines. Seems like a different world now.

Here is a bit of a blast from my past, to before I moved to New York even. This weeks comic also introduces William Hornaday, the man who went to the Bronx to save the buffalo . More on that next week.

a german, a russian, an arab and several other nationalities walk into a #berlin bar and get drunk on some brazilian thing because they can in 2020. fascism needs to be pushed back every day. states can be gone in weeks. systems break within months. peace is fragile and precious.
