There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism.

A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer.

Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore.

They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

To kick off Black History Month, one of my absolutely favorite works by artist Jacob Lawrence: Sidewalk Drawings, 1943, which underscores the complexity of Lawrence's singular vision in how it links the joy & exuberance of children drawing with difficult subject matter like war & violence
