A white person getting mad™️ that a fictional utopia story by a Black woman is oppressing her because her ancestors got beheaded at one point.

I think sometimes we need to resist the temptation to try to resolve cognitive dissonance. Let it hurt and make no sense that genocide is happening and you're in the dairy aisle at the grocery store. Let it be fucking confusing that they're declaring martial law and you're writing a poem. I don't think we need to justify art and survival and tedium. Let it make no sense. It's not all resistance and it's not supposed to be wrapped in a rhetorical bow and we're not supposed to live this way.

With incoming tariffs, ink cartridges will soon become cost prohibitive. Let’s hit senate and congressional offices by drowning their fax machines with messages about Gaza. Attached an example. Just make sure the bg is all black for maximum ink use. Use faxzero if you don’t have a fax machine.
GAZANS ARE STARVING. GAZANS ARE THIRSTY. ISRAEL HAS BLOCKED FOOD AND WATER FOR MORE THAN A MONTH. LIFT THE SIEGE ON THE MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN OF GAZA.

When Toni Morrison passed I felt this as well. This need to step up and be upfront with my art. As Nikki Giovanni passes the relevance of the Black Arts movement presses into my skull and the enormity of it makes me nervous. With a wave of fascism on the horizon what will we be able to make that they couldn’t? Or how will what we make echo with their voices? I’m scared about what that may look and sound like, but I want to be fearless for them and maybe that’s all that matters. May you become an ancestor in your own time and with ease and laughter Ms. Giovanni.

Hello, TY for starting this thread! My name is Jae and I am a comic artist with a debut Black fantasy graphic novel Anamnesis coming out in 2026

I also did a zine about celebrity culture, Palestine, + the culture of distraction inherent in the art making of the US.

A black and white comic spread of 3 Black characters with leather outfits and huge angelic wings that they stretch and flap. The subsequent panels are of a young woman swallowing in fear. One of the winged people hears her before bowing before her. A black and white illustration of 3 teens playing dominoes while eating popsicles on a hot night. Two of the teens are cheating. A comic spread of a disheveled and tired man entering a train cabin. One woman drinks tea bored by his antics, the other is nervous at what news he brings and the last is annoyed he’s taking up room on the seat next to her. A red, orange, and yellow colored comic spread from my zine “that lady and why we must let her go”. A woman cleans the floors, the bathrooms, and the incompetencies of her superiors, and still is not worth the millions of those who employ her. Despite working hard the American dream eludes her.

A series of panels of a hand cleaning the floors and a bathroom. The same hands claw at a door begging to be let inside. They type on an office computer doing all the work while the boss benefits. The plate is empty. An eye looks into the keyhole of the burning house. Beyoncé walks down the hallway white flames chasing her. An American flag burns. People weigh their options with physical bodies as their unit of measurement. The words state: YOUR FAMILY HAS SOME OF THE HARDEST WORKING PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW. THEY HAVE CLEANED AND BLED AND CRIED AT THE DOORS OF THE MASTER'S HOUSE BEGGING TO BE LET IN DESPITE ITS BURNING. THEY'VE CLEANED THE FLOORS, THE TOILETS. THE INCOMPETENCIES-EVERY MESS IMAGINABLE AND STILL ARE NOT BILLIONAIRES OR EVEN MILLIONAIRES. YOu KNOW THS. SO WHY DO You PRETEND OTHERWSE? WHY ARE YOU STILL SO ENTHRALLED AT THE PROSPECT OF INTEGRATING INTO A BURNING HOUSE? WHEN THE FOLKS ON THE TOP FLOOR ARE BEGGING YOU TO USE THE MASTER'S TOOLS JUST A BIT LONGER, The cover of “that lady and why we must let her go”. Beyoncé is holding a boycott Beyoncé sign though her name is blurred out. She is wearing her lemonade outfit from the music video hold up. It has many frills and lace. Her eyes are blocked out by a black bar. The background is a citrusy yellow with pink accents on her figure in the foreground. A greyscale comic spread of three Black characters with large angel like wings sprouting from their backs. In the subsequent panels a young woman gulps, intimidated by them. One of the winged humans hears this and in the next panel bows in her direction. A greyscale spread of a chase sequence. A Black girl with a wounded leg is being carried by a Filipino boy as they run through the forest. People and dogs are chasing them punctuated between each panel, the sounds of both getting closer as they run. In the final panel, they reach an abandoned mine in a clearing.

Just got my beautiful phone case from @matsuzawa.bsky.social shop. One day I will be able to afford one of their beautiful pens, but until then I recommend supporting the preservation of lacquer culture in Iwate Japan via the online shop!

You cannot convince me Black people obsessed with AI aren’t in some way obsessed with pleasing whiteness as a structure because wtf is this lol????
“Filmmaker” Nikyatu posts about her AI short film made using SORA on twitter . Someone replies: Not an attempt to crucify: What made the plagiarism tool attractive, as a filmmaker? She replies Ask the people who created it and studio execs who are currently implementing it. Odd to ask the creatives at the bottom adapting to inevitable change...this is here whether you kick and scream or not. Someone replies: Pretending this is "inevitable" is silly. Remember when everyone said the same about NFTs? She bafflingly replies: Remember when everyone said interracial pairings were akin to beastiality. remember when people were afraid of computers. remember the "3/5ths" clause...

‘That Lady and why we must let her go’ is a comic and painful reckoning of celebrity culture, art and our relationship to it, and how Palestine informs both.

It is available for physical purchase here:

The page on the left has a closeup profile of Beyoncé smiling, her eyes are covered by a black bar. The right side of the page has a series of knights in armor standing stalwart to protect their Queen as she walks by them in a red royal cape. The words say: THAT LADY- HAS LONG EMBRACED THE TITLE HER FAN BASE HAS CROWNED HER WITH. THEY MUST ASSIGN BENEVOLENT RULE, HAND HER THE POWER AND WEALTH NO ONE PERSON SHOULD HAVE, AND ASSUME IT TO BE DIVINE DOCTRINE PROVEN BY HER IMMENSE TALENT THIS ALLOWS HER TO IGNORE ALL SOCIAL AND POLITICAL EVENTS THAT SHAKE THE BLACK COMMUNITY WITHOUT SCRUTINY. 'NOT ALL BLACK PEOPLE HAVE TO BE MALCOLM X!' (EVEN ONES THAT INVOKE HIS NAME AND EAT THEIR CAKE AFTERWARD) 'WHY DO BLACK WOMEN ALWAYS DO X.Y,2".? "I JUST WANT TO SHAKE MY ASS!” “THERE Y'ALL GO MAKING BLACK WOMEN THE MULE OF THE WORLD AGAIN.” "NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO LISTEN TO HER.” “I JUST DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW, OKAY???”

This is me shooting my shot since I saw you writing about the topic on here! Lemme know if I can send you my zine:
The cover of the a zine titled “that lady and why we must let her go” by JCJB. The cover has a bright lemony orange block background with Beyoncé in the foreground jumping up with a middle finger on one hand and a “boycott Beyoncé” sign in the other. Her eyes are blacked out and her name on the sign is blurred.
