If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again. anchoreditions.com/blog/dorothe...

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

Honestly right now would be both the most likely and most cursed time for Lin Manuel Miranda to drop Hamilton 2.0 or a remix or really anything Hamilton related

This 4th of July it’s important to remember that it’s not fireworks your dog is afraid of but rather the unfettered corruption of the American government

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

The hardest of these for me to see was Jerry Robinson, tabling at NYCC in his eighties.
Pretty much every move I’ve ever made in comics since age 25 has been inspired by the 70-year-olds I saw in comic con Artist Alleys, cranking out sketches of characters they created but don’t own, to pay their doctor bills and nursing home fees.

I unironically believe a small but not completely insignificant amount of this has to do with a number of the greatest and/or most famous political and social heroes of the mid 20th century being killed/assassinated before they had a chance to get slightly older and therefore publicly more flawed

Just finished this one. The writing is kind of goofy and overwrought but the art is often really good. The cover gallery in the back is sort of a unified theory of contemporary DC: some of the best artists alive alongside absolutely execrable lightboxed crap
