Oh my gosh, it is indeed good for the soul to be told about QUEER MYTHOLOGY out in the wild yet again! 😱 Some post-Pride month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ display action at the local library shared by @elliotcomicart.bsky.social Love this love for queer storytelling. 🥰🥰🥰♥️ Available from @runningpressbooks.bsky.social 📚🙏

Happy Pride from inside @sleepovertrading.bsky.social 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 You can’t buy my book QUEER MYTHOLOGY here, but you can walk out with plenty of queer stories on VHS 📼. The chart on my right leg is the sky over Stonewall, June 28, 1969 ✨ It keeps me grounded in our history every single day.

60 years ago today, Julius’ became a site of revolution. The 1966 Sip-In made it a place of history. Not enough people know it (one day I will write that children’s book). 13 years ago, Rob and I had our first date there. 3 years ago, we got married there. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️😍 👏

🌈 Honored that Queer Mythology made it onto the ALA Rainbow Book List this year. Deeply grateful it’s still resonating with readers—especially queer young folks searching for themselves in the oldest stories we’ve ever told. We have always existed. And we still do. 📚♥️

One of my queer ephemera grails joined the collection: the Village Voice issue from the week after Stonewall, featuring Fred W. McDarrah’s iconic photo. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Holding it feels like holding a piece of that moment. And yes I wore white gloves! 🧤 #QueerHistory #Stonewall #LGBTQArchives #VillageVoice

On this day in 1988, a scrappy local show proved the best way to enjoy a B-movie is to laugh with it—or at it. MST3K turned late-night bargain-bin cinema into a shared art form, a little party for monster suits and misfits. All you need is a weird film, good friends, and a comfy place to riff.

So excited for everyone to see these!

🎂✨ Happy Birthday, Queer Mythology! ✨🎂 One year ago, this book of queer myths and legends entered the world. Since then, it’s been read, shared, taught, and celebrated. 🌍📚 At its heart is a truth: we have always existed. From Tu’er Shen to Lakapati to Xochipilli, our stories are ancient and alive.

✨ 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

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 👏♥️🙏
