Hark, a vagrant: 120

Shut Up About Babies Shirt *LAST CHANCE*

This comic from Kate Beaton back in 2010 has new relevance lately, with the White House trying to pick a fight with #Canada.

"Americans being jerks again"

But I don't think it would resolve quite so easily today.

Hark, a vagrant: 250

Given this interesting archeological news (i.e., legend of Amazon warriors might have been based in fact), how could I not post a relevant Hark! A Vagrant comic? How?

‘Truth behind the myths’: Amazon warrior women of Greek legend may really have existed

Excavations of bronze age graves have found battle-scarred female archers, says the historian Bettany Hughes

This book has impressed and pulled me in me like few others this year: *Ducks* by Kate Beaton of #HarkAVagrant.
It is a #GraphicNovel #memoir about Beaton's time working for different mining companies in Canada's oil sands to pay off her student loans. It is at once deeply personal and intimate, as well as in touch with so many big issues of our age: extractive #capitalism, inequality, #environmental damage, settler #colonialism, toxic masculinity and misogyny...
I found it incredibly powerful and read it all in one sitting, but it's the kind of book that I envision coming back to many times.

@RustyBertrand #KateBeaton is glorious. Her humour, her art, the fact that she able to put her history and anthropology degree to use and gave us #HarkAVagrant! 🙌
