It's a very big deal that first books are being pulled. Winning a prize like this for your first book basically guarantees you another contract - it's a huge deal for an early career author, arguably more so than for someone more established.

I never heard of the Polari Prize until they picked John Boyne for their longlist and that's probably why the Polari Prize picked John Boyne for their longlist.

Joe Locke on being honored by HRC for advocating LGBTQ+ storytelling with roles like Billy Kaplan: “It’s been a joy and a privilege to be a part of telling LGBTQ+ stories and contribute to a world where everyone, regardless of who they are or who they love, can live authentically and without fear”

well fuck you too hbo…and everyone who calls themselves an ally yet still gives her works any kind of platform. announcing this on trans day of remembrance as well, just sick

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.

“how *we’re* going to continue exploring billy’s background” 😁😁

In Empyre (2020) #5, Billy Kaplan and Teddy Altman get married in a hurry before Teddy has to head to space! The people who officiate them are none other than Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung — the real-life creators of Billy and Teddy! “Thanks, Allan” 🥹 #WiccanComicHighlight
