GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

Not wanting to be tied down by the strings of conformity, Fidella continues to cover ground and play the music she wants to hear. The last of 6 characters from the Band of Misfits series.

i probably don't need to watch that backrooms movie I've spent enough time in the basement of gower street waterstones

Just had a professional add a pronunciation guide for my name onto an email chain with such self assurance I had to sit and say my name over and over to double check I wasn’t wrong

What an artist. There can be few comics creators who have had a greater impact than Marjane Satrapi has.

It's Pride Month, so once again here's Sappho's Reply, one of the most powerful queer poems ever. Written by Rita Mae Brown at the height of the post-Stonewall struggles, it's the origin of "an army of lovers shall not fail/cannot lose." Y'all, we are going to win.

We need a universal standard written sfx noise for implying the Wilhelm scream so we can use it in comics

rewatched once in a blue luna (aka the 4th funniest ep of Ruby Gloom) ahead of the blue moon this weekend and genuinely who do I have to beg to let me do the reboot comics

Listen, the only bird app we should be talking about is Merlin

You'll need to go for a long walk to calm down after you read how the UK got to here on trans rights. If you're only ever going to read one piece on trans people, this would be the one.

in 1729 there was a comic ballet where a man from the 'kingdom of love' goes to the 'palace of indifference' where he meets a bunch of women who could not care less about his existence, and it was danced by two ballerinas with lesbian rumours, but that could mean nothing right-

in case it's useful to anyone else, i've tossed the spreadsheet template i've been using to track my graphic novel progress in my ko-fi shop! keeps track of deadlines, pages started/finished, & how many pages you should do each day to stay on track. PWYW! ko-fi.com/s/bfcb2f39ff

You can almost hear the brickmaker shooing away his dog from this clay brick that was used in the building of the Ziggurat of Ur (21st century BCE).

I was annoyed that I couldn't find a database of David Attenborough documentaries where I could search for a specific episode by topic. So I made it. attenborough-100.vercel.app

Hello all my UK pals. The government has handed over our health data to Palantir, a pretty awful company. No consent. You can complain in under a minute if you like. Or ignore me! I just did it and it was pretty painless. Xxx newscord.org/action/nhs-p...

EVERYBODY! Stop what you’re doing!!! The Wildwood trailer is out!!! I spent over three years, mostly hand building the Doug firs that make up the eponymous Wildwood. youtu.be/POneS8h1jyU?...

I love having penpals because the slowness of it means I get to reheat my thoughts on things months after cultural conversation has moved on and find out I’ve been stewing on something without realising it

sketching!

A beautiful thing about being out at work is during any pride event people start to prefix it to stuff like you’re a wizard. ‘Ask the lesbian map maker’ sooo true my girl kissing nature will show me where your lost file is located

another one for lesbian visibility week!

I have collected a bunch of ex-libris (or bookplates), let me show you some of them. They flourish in the 15th century with the rise of the printing press, to mark ownership of books. Here's one of my fav, you can see that early on they are really personal objects, sometime mysterious or funny.

i started tracking my non-fiction reads on storygraph this year but there's a really cool butch who follows me there so it's made me self conscious that the only non-fiction I read is about messy, psychosexual relationships in the 18th century theatre scene

Coming May 19th! A scifi/fantasy anthology featuring 11 authors from 6 continents (we were, unfortunately, unable to find either an Antarctic researcher or a penguin to join us) Together is a Distant Star contains stories of "belonging" mostly by women, queer, and otherwise marginalized authors.

Anytime I'm whiny about proshots not being the norm people assume i'm mad about not having a full Jack wolfe hadestown and yes that obviously, but also the ballet marie antionette vampire queen of versailles could've been my everything if i'd only been given a GLIMPSE

Last year I rewatched Utena and drew this poster. And... I think it's time to show it?? 🤺

As a gay man, this piece really resonated with me. Why have queer people so often been cast as monsters - and why is that language creeping back now? A brilliant guest piece by @sachacoward.bsky.social that I’m very proud to publish.
