Giacomo Matteotti fu assassinato da sicari fascisti il 10 di giugno del 1924. Lo attesero sottocasa in cinque, tutti squadristi venuti da Milano, professionisti della violenza assoldati dai più stretti collaboratori di Benito Mussolini. L’onorevole Matteotti, il segretario del Partito Socialista Unitario, l’ultimo che in Parlamento ancora si opponeva a viso aperto alla dittatura fascista, fu sequestrato in pieno centro di Roma, in pieno giorno, alla luce del sole. Si batté fino all’ultimo, come lottato aveva per tutta la vita. Lo pugnalarono a morte, poi ne scempiarono il cadavere. Lo piegarono su se stesso per poterlo ficcare dentro una fossa scavata malamente con una lima da fabbro. Mussolini fu immediatamente informato. Oltre che del delitto, si macchiò dell’infamia di giurare alla vedova che avrebbe fatto tutto il possibile per riportarle il marito. Mentre giurava, il Duce del fascismo teneva i documenti insanguinati della vittima nel cassetto della sua scrivania. In questa nostra falsa primavera, però, non si commemora soltanto l’omicidio politico di Matteotti; si commemorano anche le stragi nazifasciste perpetrate dalle SS tedesche, con la complicità e la collaborazione dei fascisti italiani, nel 1944. Fosse Ardeatine, Sant’Anna di Stazzema, Marzabotto. Sono soltanto alcuni dei luoghi nei quali i demoniaci alleati di Mussolini massacrarono a sangue freddo migliaia di inermi civili italiani. Tra di essi centinaia di bambini e perfino di infanti. Molti furono addirittura arsi vivi, alcuni decapitati. Queste due concomitanti ricorrenze luttuose – primavera del ’24, primavera del ’44 – proclamano che il fascismo è stato lungo tutta la sua esistenza storica – non soltanto alla fine o occasionalmente – un irredimibile fenomeno di sistematica violenza politica omicida e stragista. Lo riconosceranno, una buona volta, gli eredi di quella storia? Tutto, purtroppo, lascia pensare che non sarà così. Il gruppo dirigente post-fascista, vinte le elezioni nell’ottobre del 2022, aveva davanti a sé due strade: ripudiare il suo passato neo-fascista oppure cercare di riscrivere la storia. Ha indubbiamente imboccato la seconda via. Dopo aver evitato l’argomento in campagna elettorale, la Presidente del Consiglio, quando costretta ad affrontarlo dagli anniversari storici, si è pervicacemente attenuta alla linea ideologica della sua cultura neofascista di provenienza: ha preso le distanze dalle efferatezze indifendibili perpetrate dal regime (la persecuzione degli ebrei) senza mai ripudiare nel suo insieme l’esperienza fascista, ha scaricato sui soli nazisti le stragi compiute con la complicità dei fascisti repubblichini, infine ha disconosciuto il ruolo fondamentale della Resistenza nella rinascita italiana (fino al punto di non nominare mai la parola “antifascismo” in occasione del 25 aprile 2023). Mentre vi parlo, siamo di nuovo alla vigilia dell’anniversario della Liberazione dal nazifascismo. La parola che la Presidente del Consiglio si rifiutò di pronunciare palpiterà ancora sulle labbra riconoscenti di tutti i sinceri democratici, siano essi di sinistra, di centro o di destra. Finché quella parola – antifascismo – non sarà pronunciata da chi ci governa, lo spettro del fascismo continuerà a infestare la casa della democrazia italiana

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

Yep, here is the umbrella in its humanoid form. The father/demonic figure I was talking about. It was fun to figure out how to design it

So, we're at the second character, let's give some info. The first character was the "protagonist". Protagonist of? I don't know. The setting is Victorian-like, I don't know whether to add a bit of steampunk, but for now this is it. The protagonist has this umbrella which she uses as a weapon and he's also a sort of parental figure for her (wait for it). The second character is a sort of co-protagonist and has a squirrel familiar that she can communicate with mentally and can see through he's eyes. The meaning of all this? I do not know. We will see.

I only realize now that it sounds like the speech of a child who happily tells you about his imaginary world, but ok.

Art community, I have a question!

A few days ago my girlfriend and I were talking about nudity in art. Not nudity itself, but about lewd art and the sexualization of a character.

I have nothing against those who draw sexualized characters, I'm not scandalized by nudity, I'm not prudish, the problem (which is mine) is that, for example, if I started drawing naked characters in poses and acts that make them sexualized, my brain would lead to diminish the value of the standard character design that I usually do. I know, it doesn't make any sense. But it's like "maybe people will start to consider me less professional" or something like that.

So the question is: what is your opinion on this?

Can you draw nudity without suffering (real or made-up) judgment from other people, or do you have complicated thoughts on the subject like me?

This blog turns three years old today.

The other day I was thinking about the places where I post my drawings and I was thinking about tumblr. I've been here for years (with another blog where I'm no longer active), but even though I feel a bit at home here, I haven't treated this blog very well. And I haven't treated it very well for three years. Perhaps, it's time to give it the importance it deserves.

This was a monthly reward for my subscribers, but it’s also a due tribute to one of the latest animated series I watched, which despite an uncertain beginning, left me with a lot of emotions. And every time I see this drawing, I feel a bit nostalgic
