This is the cover art I did for NOVA, a manga zine from the 1980's. I was a huge fan of Patalliro, and had the albums, laser disc film, and most of the manga. I don't keep up with it anymore, but I really loved the unique art style.

Just ordered a shirt:

I'm sure no one remembers this shitpost but me, but I need y'all to know I actually did this, every time I didn't have a fic title picked out ahead of time. (There are, incidentally, more versions and editions of this label than you could ever imagine.)

“As prices for streaming subscriptions continue to soar and finding movies to watch, new and old, is becoming harder as the number of streaming services continues to grow, people are turning to the unexpected last stronghold of physical media: the public library.”

re my doujin post last night: I have a lot of thoughts on western artist alley culture and financial pressures lead to a lot of western fan zines feeling more commercial, which leads to self censorship which is against the spirit of zines etc etc...

draw weird niche doujin!! Don’t think about marketability! Draw rarepair doujin!! Draw unpopular pair doujin!!! Free yourself from the shackles of capital— [im dragged off stage]

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

That motherfucker was canvassing at gay clubs at 2am on Halloween, man was on the streets talking to new Yorkers, running on a common sense platform folks could get behind. There's a lot Democrats could learn here, make better tiktoks isn't it

roses are red big laughs are hearty

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

It’s his day.

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

If you've enjoyed my Star Trek fandom history threads, I suggest you keep an eye out for my panel at Citrus Con next year~

reading a book called Boldly Writing, which is a sort of chronicle of the early Star Trek fandom's fanzines and fanfiction, and it's really interesting. It's a fairly plain chronological retelling but it still speaks to me all these years later, mainly because of how it makes me feel about fandom 🧵

Brought my own cinnamon toast crunch to the Costco izakaya to put on the soft serve. Don't dream it, be it.

As we boycott vile companies, a reminder that many US public libraries offer: 1) Ebooks & audiobooks via the Libby app. Pro tip: use the “notify me” tag to request your library add books by trans, disabled, & BIPOC authors! 2) TV & film streaming via Kanopy 3) Language learning via Mango 💙📚 And:

Shout out to @m00psy.bsky.social who figured out the last blank! It's "priapism". A round of applause for a 41 year mystery solved. In other news, I learned a new word today!

Apparently it's Spirk Day (Amok Time airing anniversary) which I didn't know until AFTER a new K/S letterzine came in! I was just saying I wish I could find more and here we are. I've been skimming it but in honor of Spirk Day, I'll share a little more in depth in this issue than the quoted thread.

jokes about the confederacy are always funny, but you gotta think about it in terms of "Supernatural lasted 5x longer than the Confederacy", which is absolutely hysterical

Reading Star Trek Lives! By Jacqueline Lichtenberg, Sondra Marshak, & Joan Winston (1975) to prep for potential panel pitch and getting a kick out of this mail order fan wiki. They worked SO hard for people to access what we can easily take for granted now in fandom.

Going through it on a monumental level and am feeling the need to post this comic I made three years ago when I was going through it worse. Trying to imagine kindness, love, community. I love you.

I am soooo excited to announce my new book, Gob Com (goblin comic) Part 1, debuting this weekend at @smallpressexpo.bsky.social!!! i cannot wait for you to meet my sweet goblin children!!!

this weekend! had a really good time making shit for this show and im super looking forward to it. very good to stay in touch with drawing and community at the moment! come say hi 💕

it always feels like we're being forced to throw a dinner party for the worst people on earth, and we have to shut up and smile and be gracious, no complaints, while the worst people on earth are our honored guests and we best not embarrass ourselves in front of them no matter what they do to us

Happy Star Trek Day or whatever 🖖🫡

I refuse to acknowledge typos in the Star Trek fanzine posts because they take ages to put together and are all on my phone and having to finagle word limits. You will only get the copy edited me when I'm done with my own damn fanzine.

Happy Star Trek Day! How else would I celebrate than sharing more fanzines. We're diving into letterzines! What are they? Non-fiction zines printing LoC (Letters of Comment) to have conversations, share reviews of fic/zines, and share news. That's right lads, pre-internet fanboards & discourse.

You there, gay boy, did it happen yet

Happy birthday to my darling demon cat

"to get anywhere as an artist you need to make instagram reels" "you need to draw memes" "you need to go to conventions" wrong wrong wrong you just need to be insane
