I’ll be giving a talk on January 27 at 2:30 PM at the Takarazuka City Community Center Hall, titled β€œNonbinary and Transgender Realities: Respecting Gender Diversity.”
I hope this can be a space to resist nonbinary exclusion and to learn the knowledge we all need.
I’d be glad if you could join us!

Y'all don't ever let yourself be guilted into doing *any* work for an employer that laid you off. It's a business relationship that ended when they notified you. They figure out a few weeks later that they didn't understand some function of your job? Not your problem.

A photograph showing 2 copies of my debut graphic novel "What We Don't Talk About". 
The cover is illustrated and shows a young interracial couple hugging each other against a fury red sky while clouds and leaves fly by. The man who is white is facing away with a distant look in his eyes, the woman who is Black looks directly at the viewer with a worried look. The text above the books reads, Giveway fundraiser.

Here it is folks, I really, really, really need your help, especially with boosting/spreading the word, so this can "escape" out of containment.

Joint Statement on the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix

The world's largest streaming company swallowing one of its biggest competitors is what antitrust laws were designed to prevent. The outcome would eliminate jobs, push down wages, worsen conditions for all entertainment workers, raise prices for consumers, and reduce the volume and diversity of content for all viewers. Industry workers along with the public are already impacted by only a few powerful companies maintaining tight control over what consumers can watch on television, on streaming, and in theaters. This merger must be blocked.

The specific example he gives in here is so funny. Like, couldn't have picked a more self defeating example than photoshop, the piece of software where its users are extremely vocal about literally preferring the version from a decade ago lmao

Today is Bandcamp Friday! All money you pay goes directly to the artists, no cut is taken by Bandcamp. You can purchase:

It's a good day to support artists!

A podcast album cover for Transplanar RPG’s The Chaos Protocol. The graphic features a purple cloudy background with three character illustrations across the image. From left to right, the characters are LumiΓ¨ra, Xainan, and Seir. LumiΓ¨ra is a Black person with dark brown skin, curly/kinky brown hair that is partially braided and streaked with white. Xainan is a masculine person with lavender skin, and dark berry red hair cut short beneath a wide brimmed black hat. Seir is an antlered person with a heavyset frame, brown skin, and shaggy black hair with a lion-like tail. There is text that reads: β€œThe CHAOS Protocol.”
