✨ After my own whirlwind back-to-school night, a friend told me her child discovered my book on their school library shelf. 💜 Almost a year since release (!!), and I’ll be celebrating with events this fall—some online. 📚 Here’s to stories finding their way to classrooms, libraries & young readers.

🪓🔥🔪 The ultimate horror crossover: Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash! We dig into the wild comic sequel-that-never-was to Freddy vs. Jason — full of slashers, chainsaws & multiversal mayhem. 🎧 Listen: linktr.ee/dearwatchers #HorrorComics #EvilDead #FreddyVsJasonVsAsh

Hey, that’s me! Listen anywhere you podcast or you can WATCH this one @retrogamerspodcast.bsky.social 🎮🕹️👾

BREAKING: Federal court blocks and limits most of Florida law targeting school library books. The only constitutional application is its "harmful to minors" provision, which limits obscene material that had already been banned from school libraries. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

🎂🎥 Happy birthday to the man who made us care about a talking tree, gave us the best needle drops in superhero history, and is now redefining DC from the ground up. Here’s to a future full of flying capes, heartfelt chaos, and even weirder team-ups. #AllIn 💫 Happy Day @jamesgunn.bsky.social 👏♥️🙏

I also can’t stop adding to our Plex server. So there’s that…

🏕️ Camp Nowhere hit theaters on this day in 1994! 🎬 This cult summer flick flopped at the box office but blew up on VHS — especially with kids dreaming of ditching camp rules for pizza and pranks. 🍕🎮 🎬 Trivia: It’s the first credited film role for a young Jessica Alba — blink and you’ll miss her!

EFF was founded at a time when governments were hostile toward technology and clueless about how it would shape your life. While threats from state and commercial forces grew alongside the internet, so too did EFF’s expertise.

One challenge of going to amazing bookshops 📚📖 like @northshirebooks.bsky.social for events is doing some shopping afterwards (& needing shelves for all of it + time to read it)! 🤓

What a day! 🤩🤗 Thank you to @northshirebooks.bsky.social Manchester VT! Along with the PFLAG Dorset group that made this happen. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ It was a really special Pride Month reading of QUEER MYTHOLOGY, Q&A, and signing with some wonderful folks.🥳👏🥰♥️♥️♥️

More from my QUEER MYTHOLOGY. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🙏🌀 They defy labels & laugh at binaries. Athena leads armies while learning feelings. ⚔️ Hermes glides among loves of many worlds. 💞 Loki births monsters & gender is a tool of truth. 👺Lan Caihe is a song that plays between pronouns.🐉 🌈🏳️‍⚧️ art by @jmfenner.bsky.social

📚 From my book Queer Mythology, here are 4 figures to honor Pride Month. WE PROTECT EACH OTHER🛡️ Tu’er Shen watches over queer love. Ghede Nibo uplifts the lost. Philoctetes proves how to the tide of fate. Fet-Fruners blesses the cursed. 🌈🫶 In every myth, we were never victims—we were PROTECTORS.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Wake up! The World is STILL HERE and it's beautiful.

PRIDE MONTH is busy 🌈🏳️‍⚧️ thank you to @runningpressbooks.bsky.social @hachetteus.bsky.social for featuring QUEER MYTHOLOGY in such good company like @cloudbusterrob.bsky.social & so many others. Love always to @jmfenner.bsky.social whose art brought Queer Mythology to another level! 📖

Another thing you can do for the queer artists and writers and so on whose work you admire this Pride month: go give their books etc solid star ratings on (sigh) sites like Amazon and Goodreads. Because people who hate the existence of that work are always gonna be punitively low-rating them,

🌈🏳️‍⚧️ It’s officially PRIDE MONTH — and I’m thrilled to share some of the incredible events coming up for QUEER MYTHOLOGY! 📚✨ There are so many ways to join the conversation and uplift queer stories from around the world. Hope to see you at one (or all!) of them 🫶🥳👏

Holding this feels different today. 🫶 Not just because it’s coming in Portuguese. 🇧🇷 Not just because it’s HEADING INTO A 2nd PRINTING. 😳😱🤩 It reminds me stories travel farther carried by community. Thank you to all who shared & celebrated Queer Mythology. You are part of its journey—and mine. 💫📚🌈

As we head into Pride month, please consider the fact that queer art is rarely given the resources or backing provided elsewhere...and that so much of it exists in spite of constraints and out of the sheer desire to share a story. Art made with economy is still a triumph...in fact, even more so.

Hey, if you’ve got a hook-up, message us. 🙏 We are ready for low to mid grade key books to finally complete our EVERY ISSUE OF X BOOKS EVER quest!! 🏆this list is the Uncanny X-Men aka X-Men Vol 1 books holding us back ❌😵 #xmen #comics #comicbooks

I’ve been writing about the Supreme Court and its treatment of both LGBTQ and religious liberty issues for more than two decades. Today was the most alarming argument I’ve attended or listened to for queer people — and as to the court majority’s religious supremacy project.
