the art of chasing blue by Helen jee (twitter@helenjeeeeee)

a cute little book filled with visdev(?) for an original project. There was a tiny bit of disappointment though BC my favourite illusts/layouts were in the accompanying (much more fragile) newsletter and only as v small thumbs in the artbook. like this is where the real charm is y'know? 🥹 but I'm scared to handle it too much

anywhere is by feleven (feleven__ @ twitter)

a one piece fanbook bought on a whim. it's apparently the artist's fourth one piece fanbook and this one is pretty thick! it's just a very warm collection and I like that the illusts have a trad feel to them.

first thing to know is that this book is fucking huge and the box it came in looks like a pizza box. I want to say 30cm by 30cm?

the books illusts are sorted by colour (often with a matching little symbol). the unwieldy size is absolutely justified by the level of fine texture & detail in merasgars paintings. like you really appreciate being able to zoom in close. mostly religious & traditional/historical Chinese themed (as the cover indicates) but there's some modern & western themed too. their illusts really feel powerful it's scary.. a religious experience indeed..

remember kids, the moral of "Irish and Italians weren't even considered White yet!" isn't "because in those times people were so ignorant they didn't think the Irish were white". the moral is "because white is an unreal category created to justify slavery and ongoing hoarding of power and wealth". It's not that you know better about Italians. It's that the boundaries of the higher caste have changed.

The reason why there are so many tankies who claim their worse enemies are Nazis but are extremely violently antisemitic is because they take a lot of their ideology from the USSR. The USSR was super harsh against Nazis but completely erased the targeting of Jews from the holocaust and instead universalized it. The USSR was antisemitic with lots of anti Jewish policy and was planning a massive ethnic cleansing of jews that was only stopped by Stalins death. So the whole ideology is shaped around being super anti-Nazi but being anti Nazi doesn’t include being pro Jews and rabid Jew hatred festered in the movement.
