If we’re not careful, “Anonymous”, will be the group we remember and honor in years to come, rather than the amazing Black leaders in Ferguson, fighting for their communities, fighting for the lives of young people—growing a movement. Also, the many Black youth who have shown up in solidarity, taking on the same risks to do so, because police brutality and state violence is not a theory for them—the struggle is everywhere. Much respect to all who work in solidarity.

I’ve noticed some people are still confused about what the Ferguson grand jury is actually making a decision on.

The grand jury is only deciding “if there is probable cause to believe that [Darren] Wilson committed a crime, and if so, what charge.”

The grand jury is NOT deciding whether or not Darren Wilson is guilty.

They are deciding whether Darren Wilson should be indicted, NOT convicted.

The generalization of black people has led to the murder of them by police with impunity.

The generalization of white people has led to…increase sales in pumpkin spice lattes

New Comic!

I’ve had this one sitting in my to-do pile for a while, and was finally galvanized to draw it up after going to a talk around intersections of sex, gender, and race this weekend. The topic of pronouns and terminology came up and the speaker just sort of smirked and said ‘yeah, we all know who wrote the dictionaries, don’t we?’ and I was like YES I HAVE A WHOLE THING ABOUT THAT.

My proudest moment of this comic is that I managed to sneak a penis joke into it.

Relevant!

Just stumbled upon this tweet from February: Neil calling out Mental Floss for lightening his skin.

_{“The movie establishes that there are no white saviours there to make things better. Belle is forced to do that for herself, and it’s her journey in educating herself and trying to convince her chief justice uncle to vote against the legality of the slave trade that makes the film more fascinating than most films in this genre.” — Zeba Blay, TIFF 2013 Review on Belle.}

So i saw this on twitter

Male student, your unwanted advances and creepy staring are distracting the female students. Go home until you can get yourself together and have some self-control.
