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.
