Rebecca Sugar's show broke ground showing the first queer animated wedding in a kid's show, but it took her years petitioning against the network. FWDIO wants to become a studio where creators don't have to fight for the right to show love on screen or in a book #PrideMonth

Poison Us witches aren't the magical queer ladies in indie animation. There's actually a bunch who came before us besides our lovely FoxGlove like Tammy from @breanimator.bsky.social, @kianamai.bsky.social's girls from Pretty Please Please, and @poppihin.bsky.social's Ebony. #Pride2026

Back in 1992 a televangelist claimed feminism "encourages women to leave their husbands, kill children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." Our lesbian witch FoxGlove fights capitalism, flirts with married women, and sells the abortion pill from her apothecary #HappyPride!

What do lesbians and witches have in common? More than you think! FoxGlove is a sapphic witch and Penny Royal is bisexual because of the historical context behind the way 'witchcraft' was used to other women who did not fit into the society's gender norms. epgn.com/2024/11/13/t... #PrideMonth

Happy Pride to everyone! Last year, we celebrated #PrideMonth by showing off our characters attending World Pride in DC (#CapitalPride). Can you spot their flag colors?#LGBTQ #LoveIsLove #TransRightAreHumanRights #Pride2026

Just found this project on Kickstarter, a webseries dispelling the myths of filmmaking with BIPOC as executive producers. And it's in it's 9th Season? How did we not know about this? www.kickstarter.com/projects/off...

Yesterday, I learned that the last Black Civil War soldier died at the age of 107 in 1951 (before the Civil Rights Act). He had been enslaved on a plantation in Louisiana and ran away to join the Union. He celebrated his last Decoration Day/Memorial Day in Michigan. His name was Joseph Clovese.

We just signed up to be notified when this launches! I love that we see so many Black Magical Girls, but I have never seen (and I am so excited to see) a Black Magical Boy, especially from the creator of Wave. www.kickstarter.com/projects/372...

I know episode one isn't out yet, but episode two has some great back and forth between these two.

Did you know one of the first Memorial Days was actually held by Black people? In 1865, a crowd in Charleston watched United States Colored Troops perform drills and listen to speeches about the importance of the war. This is the original site, and an estimated colorized version

I know episode one isn't out yet, but episode two has some great back and forth between these two

I dreamed I was able to watch the pilot of Poison Us. One day...

Happy #IndieAnimationDay! FWDIO Studios is hard at work on our pilot POISON US, a show that's definitely for adults thanks to our chaotic gremlin of a main character FoxGlove and the poisons she makes in her shop. (Follow us on Patreon for free for first looks and updates)

FWDIO Studios needs a Grant Writer so we can focus on creating and growing! If you want to be part of something that values LGBT and BIPOC talent at the center of media, consider applying! More info: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
