Today! I'll shall do the same with with DEMOMAN! MY BELOVED!~❤️

So now!

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.

Stumbled upon this resource and thought I would share. It’s available for preorder now!

the description reads: “‘How to Draw Black Women’ is a guide for artists of all skill levels who want to learn how to accurately draw and portray Black women. This book not only teaches the fundamentals of drawing but also highlights the cultural significance of representing Black women appropriately.”

Thank you for sharing!!

The story of Icarus always spoke to me deeply as a Black boy who grew up trying to find his wings. Mixed with the African Folklore I grew up with I found something magic. We launch on Kickstarter in just 13 Days, follow our page on Kickstarter and help us take Flight 🪽💫

I like to imagine Demoman is casually tactile, and Sniper's touch-starved ass has NO idea how to handle it.

This is the link for the petition https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/texas-please-dont-execute-james-broadnax/?link_id=1&can_id=ef597f2132826e18fae38e4abd0e51b2&source=email-one-week-left-to-stop-james-broadnaxs-execution-for-murders-he-didnt-commit&email_referrer=email_3207407&email_subject=call-gov-abbott-and-urge-him-to-stop-james-broadnaxs-execution-for-murders-he-didnt-commit&&

You can also call the governor to ask him to spare James Broadnax's life

Call (512) 463-2000 if you live outside of Texas. Call (800) 843-5789 if you are a Texas resident.

Here's the script I used for the call -->

"Hello Govenor Abbot, I am calling to ask you to spare the life of James Broadnax. His cousin Demarius Cummings recently admitted that he was the one to murder Stephen Swan and Matthew Butler, not James. This admission is further proven by the presence of Demarius's DNA on the murder weapn. James should not recieve a more severe punishment than the person who actually commited the killings, and this is why I am asking you to please spare James's life. Thank you."
