This illustration from David Revoy (@davidrevoy) is stunning in both composition and aesthetic. It’s his rendition of a character from the book “Ada & Zangemann,” a tale of maker/code culture and the fight against oppression and authoritarian control.

"constant fighting with our own sense of identity causes further psychological distress...

"Instead of asking “what’s wrong w/ me?” We need to shift discourse over to “what happened to me?”. It’s vital that psychological distress be placed in the context of one’s environment&
experiences of the complex power dynamics within them."

Would quote more, but word limit.
“#whiteness gives us access to everything but oppression. That’s the only thing we can’t colonize. So, what do we do? We turn #oppression into social currency.” They comment on the obsession w/ “uniqueness” the internet has; white people get “extra points” for belonging to identities that are #marginalized like queer, trans, #neurodivergent. A lot of white folks are blind to their white #privilege"
