Happy book release day to @redgoldsparks.bsky.social for GENDER QUEER: THE ANNOTATED EDITION! This is a wonderful expansion of the original memoir, with notes from Maia and other queer luminaries (including me!)

We’re doing the same panel on June 4 at McNally Jackson Seaport! Hugh’s work is a major inspiration and he has been so generously helpful with my own book 🤩

This Kirkus review of QUEER AND HOW WE GOT HERE is like my fondest wish how my book could be received 🥹 so I made it into graphics. www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Great review video of QUEER AND HOW WE GOT HERE! By which I mean both thorough and flattering 😇

Book review posting will continue until morale improves 😌 #QueerAndHowWeGotHere

For the record, this proposal specifically targets gender identity. You have until May 22nd to submit a comment

Same page, in the wild. Over a hundred pages, no goddamn AI. And I am fretting now over writing the next big chunk: writing first drafts is the hardest part for me. I’m not gonna use fucking AI for that either. Whatever my faults and shortcomings, if you read my stuff, you’re getting me.

For anyone interested, I just started a petition to get anything created using generative AI disqualified from Eisner Award consideration moving forward. Please consider signing and sharing. www.change.org/no-ai-at-the...

I know there is a big He-Man and Masters of the Universe Movie coming out very soon. The He-Man Effect explains why this is happening to us. It also predicted this would happen. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The release party was a delight 💞 Later this month, I’m headed to Massachusetts! May 29 at @allshewrotebks.bsky.social with @scumbelievable.bsky.social! May 31 at Comics N’ More, giving my process talk again!

I've had one in my possession for about 10 hours and you can already tell this is one of those graphic novels where you can open it to any random page and find something fascinating for years on end, and because of Hazel's warm style it's dense without feeling cramped. It's a real achievement!

Out May 12, "Queer and How We Got Here" deftly blends a primer on queer history with the creator's personal journey. #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/05/quee...

#QueerAndHowWeGotHere RELEASE PARTY 🎈 Tuesday, May 12 at @nonbinarianbike.bsky.social in Crown Heights, 7-8:30pm ! I’ll give a little “making of the book” presentation, so you’ll come away with a signed copy AND special knowledge.

Twin Cities Geek really gets it 🙇🏻‍♂️ “solidifies their position as one of the most inquisitive voices in contemporary queer comics” “The historical content is vital and strong, and Newlevant delivers it with the same clarity that animates the personal sections.”

2 things re: TCAF next month! I booked a suite with 2 twin beds, which I’d simply lurve to split with someone (who’s also planning to mask at the show). I would trade my books for unexpired PlusLife test cards. iykyk

Just applied! When the application asked for accessibility needs, I told them “requiring and providing masks is the gold standard of immune-accessibility”…only to discover that’s already their policy! 😷 www.micexpo.org/policies other festivals could learn a thing or two!

I filled this out and you can too!

we're honored and delighted to host Hazel in-store at comics nmore may 31ist!

Me like, nothing ever comes near, but I'll check. Oh, hey, that's my town.

If you know people in NYC, can you please help us to spread the word that Black Zine Fair is on Saturday and that they should register to come? pools.events/event/WFzHwJ... - It's free but donations are always appreciated. We have 4 days to let folks know about it.

On the 29th I get the pleasure of interviewing my baby @newlevant.bsky.social for the launch of their new graphic novel/beautiful exploration of their own place in queer history at ALL SHE WROTE in Boston! Come join us!

QUEER AND HOW WE GOT HERE comes out next Tuesday, May 12!! 🤯 if I’m in your area, I’d love to sign a copy for you.

La nouvelle édition (2026) du zine en anglais "What's Up With COVID and What We Can Do About It" est sortie ! newlevant.com/covidzine par @newlevant.bsky.social #CovidIsNotOver #AutoDéfenseSanitaire #CovidIsAirborne #MaskUp

good morning my cc card balance hates me rn but shares are appreciated !!! If I get these before I have to scurry to TCAF I’ll send these out to folks otherwise I’ll have them with me at heroescon !!!

I really thought there was a book called Jonathan Livingston’s Seagull.

no movement on this! reposting because i'm relying on our tax return to pay next month's rent and they keep rejecting it. i'm disabled and not able to bring in income while parenting full time. my partner's in school and we've exhausted our loans. family support is tapped out. my network is too

Such an honor to have these creative heroes articulate why you should check out my book 🥰 QUEER AND HOW WE GOT HERE comes out May 12! 🌈🌸 #QueerAndHowWeGotHere #QueerHistory #TransHistory #QueerComics
