Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

Brooklyn Expo of Comics (BEC) is a new 2-day comics festival that will take place November 14-15 in Williamsburg. Natalie, @benpassmore.bsky.social, and @adamtots.bsky.social all say this will be Brooklyn's best fest yet. Applications are now LIVE for BEC until May 17, link in bio to apply!

NYS Senator Gustavo Rivera has already introduced his bill. Please take a minute to write to your state senator. Sample script: "Dear [Sen. __], please co-sponsor S9589 and help ensure it passes by this June to prevent 450K+ people from losing healthcare coverage." www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...

Update on this urgent health care crisis: 👎 It's highly likely 450,000+ New Yorkers will lose Essential Plan coverage in July. 👍 Gustavo Rivera + @amypaulin.bsky.social are sponsoring bills to fix this. 👉 To prevent coverage-loss, we must pass these bills by June. nysfocus.com/2026/03/31/e...

Mamdani DID IN FACT pledge $726m for school HVAC and solar upgrades, which would be major for the health of the whole city! But his preliminary budget only has $325m for ALL school “modernization and reconstruction" efforts. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Hi friends! this is still moving through the US Congress. It’s basically an anti-trans censorship bill disguised as “protecting children” (and its worded so vague, a corgi butt could be “obscene”) You wanna do something for #TDOV ? Call your reps. Call for all your trans friends 🤍🩵🩷

It's Trans Day of Visibility! And it just so happens I'm trans, and I create visibly trans comics and zines, which you can peruse on my website: www.studiondr.com #tdov #TransDayOfVisibility

Am a big fan of Newlevant's graphic novel IF THIS BE SIN, and very much looking forward to reading this!

With my own memoir coming out in 1.5 months, the Lindy West discourse has me transfixed 😵‍💫 on the one hand, the mortification of seeming un-self-aware. On the other hand, the vindication of the whole internet coming together to say someone who treated you badly is a piece of shit.

Few cats are as hard to befriend as semi-feral Ada. Almost everyone she likes is gay.

Intersection of favorites!!

“Queer & How We Got Here is a tremendous graphic novel that combes queer history with Newlevant’s personal journey as a queer person, to create a fun and accessible—yet still serious and rigorous—look at how history creates the possibilities and limitations we live in, with, and around.“ -HUGH RYAN

We’re all excited about gardening here 🧑🏻‍🌾🐈‍⬛

Full-time since 2019. It’s almost all advances and royalties. My partner has a regular job, but has been unable to work full-time since they got long-covid, so I private pay for my own insurance. I have a modest patreon that’s a few hundred a month, which covers my basic utility bills.

just a reminder! Our editor listing is open for 10 more days!

Running this back because of the upcoming vote!

Thank you @nycplan.org for organizing this mobilization of testimonies to ensure public libraries are properly funded. Though I can't testify in real-time because of work, I just submitted written testimony (👇). Feel welcome to use it as a starting point for yours. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

H.R. 7661 would harm so many publishers, authors, and readers. Only the smallest sliver of human experience would make it onto shelves. If you think kids deserve the world, you are against this bill - please read this article and call your reps.

Politicians crying that they're just "protecting the children" while doing the exact opposite is nothing new, but if this becomes law it could effectively end the careers of some of you favorite queer creators (including mine!)
