Finally watched Kpop Demon Hunters and I'm obsessed!

Bookstores, comic shops, and libraries place books on shelves with their covers facing out because we are more likely to peruse a book if we can see its cover. I learned of Combs & Eakett’s *Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day* only b/c it was displayed that way. My review here:

NEW ESSAY: rather than reading the legalese SCOTUS used to justify Skrmetti, learn about how conspiracy theorists hijacked mainstream discourse on gender-affirming care: on Substack (no paywall): juliaserano.substack.com/p/what-covid... & Medium (friend link): juliaserano.medium.com/what-covid-l...

As someone who loved reading books about history as a kid (and still do as an adult), TRANS HISTORY would've been an immediate book order pick, and I got to interview @alexlcombs.bsky.social and Andrew Eakett about their graphic novel below:

This is an incredible history of trans people and the doctors and activists who fought for their right to exist

I just called mine and their inboxes are full, but I sent them emails through their websites. I find writing a little easier anyway! I chose to focus on opposing the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. because I had a personal story to tell–

thread with @aoc.bsky.social’s advice for this moment, and it involves calling your reps. not sure how? use 5calls.org (they have an app too).

Shouting out this wonderful nonfiction graphic novel I recently read by @alexlcombs.bsky.social & Andrew Eakett that shows the myriad of ways gender has been expressed through the centuries & that trans people have always existed. Great for ages 10-100. Out in May, preorder link in comments!

My mom always voted left. She was into health food and yoga, but she was also anti vaccine way back in the 1980s. I didn't get any vaccines until I went to college. Since COVID she's gone hard right and is now a Trump supporter. This has been the route of many such 'health nuts' formerly on the left

Thank you @juliaserano.bsky.social for organizing #LGBTQNotGoingBack. I'd love for my comic to be added to the master list!

Andrew and I are a gay and trans couple who recently got married! Thinking about #LGBTQNotGoingBack my mind kept going back to one moment 20 years ago, shortly after we'd moved in together. At that time it was still illegal for us to get married, and I didn't know if it would ever be a possibility.

Excited to post the comic I drew for #LGBTQNotGoingBack 💪✏️

Yesterday's demo and warm-up for the illustration class I'm teaching! I brought my hot wheels collection in for the students to draw. Then we tried making abstract drawings base on the car designs ✏️🚙

Just realized I could add M.A. after my name in my email signature 💪🤓

I've collected so many photo references for the Trans History comic, and even though I didn't end up using a lot of them, I'm looking forward to eventually sharing some on social media!

This is very true. Everything you want to learn about any art or craft is freely available on YouTube. The problem is, you then have to do the work, which is the sticking point for many.

Wow i am getting to draw some beautiful historical twinks right now. I love my job 🥰💖

One of my young students said "I'm going to draw Elmo on fire!" and proceeded to render the most horrifying freddy krueger-looking colored pencil drawing i've ever seen
