One of my friends, who I'll be calling Pink, sent me a list of recs for me to put here for crit folks!

Pink's explanation for each rec (minus the CosCol Studios stuff since. Iykyk(/silly). Though that's @cosmic-collective-studios as a reminder for anyone who hasn't checked our stuff out yet ^^):

Laika's Comet: Webcomic with a trans woman protagonist that portrays a post-post apocalypse world and reaffirms kindness, compassion, and patience with abuse survivors even when they're "causing a scene"

Rent (2005): My prior notes about "problematic" transfem rep, it's a musical with a heartbreaking backstory, the funeral scene with a song that isn't appropriated and is actually emotionally impactful

Perfect Blue/Serial Experiments Lain: Both lean VERY heavily into dissociative themes and the difference between digital and real world selves, where that line is drawn, ect. Perfect Blue is more horror forward while SEL is more psychological

No Evil: As I said, just vibes and it's an underrated *actual indie* series with no studio behind it

The Property Of Hate: Webcomic by Modmad, who has been personally fucked over by Glitch because one of their characters was plagiarized for one of the series and Glitch ignored every attempt of Mod's to reach out and discuss it, to the point they've had to start legal proceedings

Kirby Air Riders: Kirby actually isn't the protag of this game! The actual protag uses it/its (for all of its aspects) and is very heavily plural coded, one of its aspects is a very cool looking antihero, and the story plays with themes of autonomy and identity. As much as a Kirby spinoff's relatively short story mode can, anyway. It's still very impactful. Plus robot gore for people who are interested in that.

17776: "There is meaning in a stagnant life" THAT IS LITERALLY THE MESSAGE OF 17776! In a world where nobody ages or dies and all of the "big problems" have been solved, people will still be people. Made me cry quite a bit /pos

The Post Traumatic Manifesto: Concept album following a group of girls struggling with various mental health problems and trauma, portrayed in an unfiltered and sympathetic manner, and they all get to recover in their own ways in the end and find community in each other.

I really should start scheduling posts relevant to specific dates. I wasn't able to post about "independence day" on the fourth :(

[wahcazi]

What you can do instead:

Learn whose land you reside on.

Pay reparations and support LANDBACK movements .

Educate your family, friends & communities.

Join Black & Indigenous-led resistance groups.

Save this for the next time someone says, "It's just a holiday."

"If your liberation depends on the erasure of an entire group of people, it's not freedom, it's colonization with a prettier name."

patriotism . . . is a superstition artificially created and maintained through a network of lies and falsehoods; a superstition that robs man of his self-respect and dignity and increases his arrogance and conceit.

Every single "independence" day celebration ever put on by the imperial core is a farce.

The people exporting oppression and tyranny across the globe want you to burn some plastic, assembled by people who can't afford food or medicine, in commemoration of Freedom Day™

Happy 15 Days After Juneteenth ❤️🖤💚

Happy Black Ancestors Who Built This Country Day 🇺🇸

Happy Black People Deserve Reparations Day ✊🏾

It's Juneteenth, I'm a Black Texan, descendant of enslaved Black Texans. Texas is the only state that fought two different wars to protect slavery and chattel slavery ended the last for it. Juneteenth to me is to celebrate that part of overt white supremacy coming to an end, but it was not the end of white supremacy. It did not stop, with the lynching, the police violence, the redlining, the environmental racism, the segregation. Juneteenth represents a good win aganist the fight against white supremacy, but it's not over.

And for this Juneteenth, I ask for help for my friends that are the victims of this same US white supremacy. Not just today, but everyday Gazans deserve any type of help that you can give them. The technology that is used to segregate and attack and police and destroy Palestinians is the same technology that is sold to Texas to be used for the border patrol and to harass and control immigrants and border communities. This is one, connected fight aganist white supremacy and US control and destruction of Black and Brown bodies. So I ask today if you could donate this, or share, to help provide for a mother and her 2 now fatherless children in Gaza, or anyone else in Gaza who needs help. Like this family with a sick baby. Just do something, especially if you got the day off.

[uncleromeo]

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

RESIST antiblackness

REVOLT against empire

REMATRIATE the land

This Juneteenth I wanted to explore what African-American liberation would look like on Turtle Island beyond reparations. I took inspiration from my Gullah-Geechee ancestors who maintained their indigenous African lifeways and culture in the face of chattel slavery and cultural genocide.

This painting includes a character of mine who I lovingly refer to as Sister Liberation. She represents a continuum of Black women’s militant resistance against misogynoir and colonialism outside of motherhood. I call her Sister Liberation because she “ain’t nobody’s mama”.

Pictured here is Sister Liberation adorned with cowrie shell jewelry and her signature rifle (adorned with the Akan Adinkra symbols for justice, freedom, and wisdom from the past). In her left hand, she holds stalks of wild rice. In front of her, a Gullah-Geechee sweetgrass basket is adorned with Aya, the Adinkra symbol for survival and endurance. The basket is filled with indigo leaves and okra.

Prints and posters of this piece are now available on my printful!

Well!

Do you know the history of Juneteenth?

Kinda? I know it's for Black Americans but not why

No

Yes

I plead 'Not American'

So first, let's clear a common misconception: no, President Abraham Lincoln did not love Black people nor see them as human equals. At best he was centrist about it (though, even his implication that 'exceptional' Black men ought to vote got him assassinated).

"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do, it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union...I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free."

The "freeing of slaves" after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 was meant to kneecap the economic and military powers of the seceded South. Lettuce stop making a white savior figure out of Lincoln, or thinking that my people's shackles were unchained via anything other than desperate war strategy and extreme violence. Think on that, for a moment.

That being said!

But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.

Consider going through the Smithsonian website to learn about Juneteenth! Recognize why it's an actual day of freedom, versus July 4th and the independence of a select few.
