This Shadow follows me.

No pain, just a smug sense of glee.

Dark shell with only a small crack of light.

Her father “almost whipped art right out of her,” but leap year baby, Augusta Savage (1892-1962) made it as one of Harlem Renaissance’s greatest artist/advocates. She poignantly captured blackness in sculpture and opened up her home to young Black artists.

🦑Then Nyarlathotep came out of Egypt. Who he was, none knew, but he was of the old native blood & looked like a Pharaoh. The fellahin knelt when they saw him. He had risen up out of the blackness of 27 centuries & heard messages from places not on this planet🎨Victor Leza🦑#HPL

I just finished reading an early copy of ’s and reader, the last time I felt so moved by a story, it was ’ Slay. Fierce female protagonists, masterful world-building, and unapologetic Blackness. THESE are the stories we need!!!!!

Last one by my son, about a polar bear. I really like the second line - I can hear the ice creaking and moving:

Blackness of night
A polar bear barges through ice
The sun rises

On MLK day, I'm sure Asian american liberals want to make sincere efforts at tackling anti-black attitudes among our kind, so let's encourage them to take the right step by reading works by Black communists, and remind them that to end anti-blackness is to end capitalism.

I don’t know why, but I’ve always been a fan of characters when their face is obscured by blackness and only their eyes are visible. Hence why my icon shares that look.

The raven with its blackness frightens those who do not know that he has a white soul.

Saw some stunning work exhibition “Here We Are: Black Canadian Contemporary Art.” Glad to see more conversation happening around Blackness, both its culture and history, in Canada.

Loved discovering the work of Naomi Hobson at the Queensland Art Gallery. ‘A Warrior Without a Weapon’. Fantastic series that ponders how we see blackness, femininity & power. And of course dispossession.
