If there is a God, He will have to beg my forgiveness.

Just when I thought I couldn’t fall in love with Basquiat any further: Jean-Michel Basquiat’s illustration for Maya Angelou’s children’s book, Life doesn’t Frighten Me (1993), aka an artnerd’s dream collaboration. I’m absolutely turning Basquiat’s T-rex into a tattoo.

Charles Ramsey is a hero. He doesn’t wear a suit of high-tech armor. He doesn’t wear a cape. He’s just an ordinary guy,living an ordinary life.
Then, he saw a woman asking for help.
And he helped her.
He didn’t walk away.
He didn’t think of himself.
He just helped her.
It took less than a day for someone to make this heroic man into a joke.
As proud as Charles Ramsey makes me to be a human, those people make me ashamed.
No, he doesn’t speak perfectly.
No, he didn’t take the time to fix his hair before he went on camera.
He’s an African American man from an economically depressed neighborhood, city, and state.
And for that, he’s mocked and ridiculed.
It breaks my heart.
Now, in yet another heroic moment Mr. Ramsey’s response to Anderson Cooper’s inquiry about a possible reward Charles has proven he’s truly worthy of the hero mantle.
No, no, no. Bro, I’m a Christian, an American, and just like you. We bleed same blood, put our pants on the same way. It’s just that you got to put that – being a coward, and I don’t want to get in nobody’s business. You got to put that away for a minute…I tell you what you do, give [the reward] to them. Because if folks been following this case since last night, you been following me since last night, you know I got a job anyway. Just went picked it up, paycheck. What that address say? […] 2203 Seymour. Where are them girls living? Right next door to this paycheck. So yes, take that reward and give it to—that little girl[.]
Thank you Charles Ramsey.
Thank you.

As a Clevelander, I am sadden for the things my city is known for. For those not following closely, 11 bodies — Women of Color - were found in Anthony Sowell’s basement in 2009. There’s a book that address this problem called Nobody’s Women. Cleveland officials responded by saying that more would be done to find missing women and children, more resources dedicated to this pursuit. The reaction the the 911 operator seriously concerns me. But, there is something else that just makes me sick.
As I’ve seen pointed out on Tumblr many times, missing white children get a lot more attention in Cleveland media than children of other races. Ramsey touched on the issue of race with his comments during his initial interview when he said when a white girl is running to a black man, you know something is wrong. There are serious race issues that go un-addressed in Cleveland to the point that we don’t spend time and resources equally among races and likely gender which doesn’t just create unjust situations it leads to rapes and murder.
Ramsey is a hero, and people like him are the reason why I know there is still a lot of good in Cleveland despite these horrors.
But we need to do better.
EDITED TO ADD: AND I DARE ANY OF THESE REPUBLICANS WHO SAY YOU CAN’T GET PREGNANT FROM A TRUE RAPE TO EXPLAIN THIS. EXPLAIN THIS.
Ramsey for Congress.

i made this comic after a series of frustrating conversations in which dudes told me to ‘learn to take a joke’ instead of getting upset about transphobia in the media. i laugh a lot, but i’m not gonna laugh at anything that dehumanizes me. because its not just a show, its my whole life. these are just some moments from the last ten years. i could go on. but also, yay comics! :D
Awesomecore comics from a cool lady who lives around the corner from me :)

ALL of this. Encourage people to try new words, to mess them up, to experiment with vocabulary, to learn complicated adjectives and verbs and nouns, because words are fun.
Also, don’t be a jerk.
