outsider comics seems rad as hell—now is the time to support a comic shop owned by a trans woman of color. if you’re in seattle—they’re local to you. if not, they do mail order. i just snagged the new lee lai book, CANNON—stoked to read it

Per Eric this is the FilkCast Pegasus schedule for 2025. They're starting a week earlier this year so everyone has a week to listen to the Best Filk/Classic Filk songs, rather than two days. The Wednesday of OVFF they'll play songs from albums coming out at the con, and that have come out recently.

The WNBA and PWHL are thriving, but will problematic partnerships in the interest of profits threaten their success?
