Embrace the doujin ethos. Make things exist in a way only you can because YOU want them to exist

Happy release day! This is a wonderful edition (that, full disclosure, I contributed annotations & comics to!) that tells a wonderful story about the process of making, continued examination, and extended impact of this important work! Check it out!

I MUST get this.

Thanks to Katie Carr on Threads, I just learned: in 1996, the cast of the newly-launched “Star Trek: Voyager” got together to do a feature for Parade magazine about the power of late-’90s technology. Behold its fabulously unhinged glory. 1/

a wise fujo once said that not even the tower of babel could separate us

in 2019 I won the Honey & Wax Book Collecting prize for my doujinshi collection. It's still one of the coolest things I've ever done, and it wasn't just worth it for the honor or the prize money - I truly cherished the opportunity it gave me to put the motivation behind my obsession into words.

Important formative games as a youth VS top games forever? Idk. No particular order. I know I'm forgetting some like Pokemon Red/Blue which should def be there, Yoshi's Island, Spyro, Echo the Dolphin, and Legend of Dragoon also high contenders but the grip that 3D dinosaur game had on me...

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

New on my blog: courtesy of the 1978 Star Trek Cooking Manual, possibly the oldest genre TV tie-in cookbook, I've managed to unearth a *fourth* recipe for Plomeek Soup! adoctorofmanythings.wpcomstaging.com/2026/03/04/i...

Here you go! I hope this one catches on a little too!

Thank you to the wonderful crew that attended my panel at CitrusCon and hi new friends. I'm so grateful for the response. 💛💙❤️ My heart is full of love and slash. If you want to see the first thread I made for Star Trek zines, this is where to start.

Another thing people might do, is donate to the Queer Liberation Library. That way, young people without access to queer books in schools will still have access to a wide and flourishing digital library, so long as they have some unmonitored internet access of course.

TV and movies had a good run. Back to the only incorruptible medium: photocopied pornographic zines

Found a picture of my cat on a star trek happy meal box from 1979. I finally know what animals he's a chimera of.

I do have this and you know who you are 😘

Doing more research for my upcoming Star Trek panel and I love this Greek legend comparison as related to K&S and K/S fic for the rise of relationship (as opposed to sci-fi) focused stories becoming more prevalent around 1975 (from Boldly Writing by Joan Marie Verba)

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:

“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...

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.
