Here’s to the ones who deliberately step outside the ranks and ignore categorization. Here’s to the revolutionary who contradicts Newton based on experimental evidence on the diffraction of light; to the journalist who describes eye diseases; to the doctor who advocates for prison reforms; to the lifelong skeptic of lofty pretensions who is turned into a symbol before his blood has clotted.

Here’s to refusing to turn away from the fear and the violence and the treachery and the war; to claiming the guard-post, though armed with words alone. Perhaps, just enough to protect the shared ideals. Perhaps, too much. Perhaps, insufficient; history may have the answer, but how could one know that, when one is in the process of making the history happen?

Here’s to hard decisions made unflinchingly; to cutting through the rush of a new republic like a soldier escaping a siege, decisively and with full understanding of the inevitable defeat; and to words that continue to ring true as we offer complacency to the twin hydras of poverty and injustice in hope that it will be enough to escape them, just this time.

"...que la société humaine y prenne garde, on ne tuera Marat qu’en tuant la misère ; Charlotte Corday n’a rien fait ; tant qu’il y aura des misérables, il y aura sur l’horizon un nuage qui peut devenir un fantôme, et un fantôme qui peut devenir Marat." - Victor Hugo

Happy birthday, Marat.

I have a migraine and the sun has been playing hide and seek all week long so I gave up on getting nice pictures but my saintspierre t-shirt is done :)

(Pls ignore the mess behind ugh also the t-shirt needs ironing but the ink on the back wasn't dry when I took the first pic so I couldn't touch it lol)

When you read a book regarding historical figures or events and suddenly you have massive beef with some guy who passed away like three hundred years ago

I tried making a comic based on that one letter Couthon wrote to Saint Just while he was away (thank you again to the people who answered my ask when i wasnt able to find it). Focusing on the fact that Couthon was, at the time of writing it, acknowleding that hes never going to be able to walk again. And that he was (and still kind of is) being forgotten, ignored and overshadowed by SJ and Robespierre.

Im probably not going to finish it because i didnt like the way it was turning out (im more of a "full one piece" person and dont have much experince with comics), but i spent too much time on it so im just going to post it anyway. Coincidentally on the first day of pride month lol
