BAN TRANS PEOPLE FROM FENCING? BUT

AIPT interview with Sara Century and Alex Segura re: the comic The Forgotten Five. AIPT asks "what else should we know about the forgotten five, superheroes, comics, etc.?" Sara Century replies "Comics are good! There's nothing better. the Forgotten Five is a great comic and we love making it."

Literally the summary of most conversations that occur behind the scenes on this book:

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

I hate to be the 900th person on the feed looking for work but lol I'm looking for work, if you need a video editor or writer I am here for remote and I can do photos and videography if you're in the Wisconsin-ish area. A website? But of course! saracentury.com

I love working on this project, it's such a great team 💖

This Is (Not) A Ghost Story I don't put much stock in dreams. When it comes to things like that, I'm kind of an agnostic. There are things that have happened in my life that feel like...

Last year, I wrote a personal essay about living in a haunted house when I was 14. All of it happened, insofar that *something happened*, whether I believe in the causes or not

Sometimes, we have dreams about things

Sometimes, they reveal things you don't want to know

This is what I dreamed

Hundreds Pack 'Whistlemania' Events To Fight ICE In Chicago: 'We Have To Stand Up For One Another' Neighbors joined Whistlemania events in seven neighborhoods Tuesday to assemble whistle kits that alert when immigration agents are nearby.

Was fortunate to show off my zine folding skills at one of these events while visiting Chicago, a city that has always treated me well. Sharing because it's important to know that this is easy to do and it really helps people build community and protect each other.

Station Identification for the Newskies

I'm Vivian Moira Valentine, your third favorite transsexual horror writer. I'm a middle-aged woman, a grumpy leftist, and a minor member of the queer indie publishing cult

I talk about my trans books, the X-Men, vampires and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

My neighbors have filled the Little Free Libraries with whistles so we can warn each other about ICE. Chicago is not afraid.

Reposting because I forgot to attach the link, this rad shop in Philly now carries my zines! You can buy my zines obviously, but there's a ton of other zines, t-shirts, stickers, buttons, etc. Incredibly cool place to visit.

I enjoy the Scarlet Witch but I do sometimes miss when her power set was “point and the Beast does a pratfall.”

Alright I am two-thirds done with the illustrations for my 2026 David Lynch tribute calendar! I will hopefully remain on track and be able to send to print in early November.

FYI pre-orders really help me gauge how many to print, and cover up-front costs!

Haven't read it yet so can't comment but can say that alternately it's why Louise Simonson is pretty much the best Jean writer IMHO. She's flawed, she knocks down walls when she's mad, and we love her.

Hollywood Has a Major AI Hype Problem Studio execs and major media outlets claim that AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over film and TV. The reality is much different.

studio execs & major outlets claim AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over Hollywood. the reality is much different. i spoke with filmmakers, producers, and editors about how AI is actually showing up in productions – and what it still can't do:

So far TODAY Israel has:

- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid

This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.

THE DEVOURERS is lightly discounted on Bookshop.org again, stick it to Prime Day if it is indeed Prime Day.

They love each other tho so that would never happen. Besides Storm already beat Scott with no powers to boot so no one even tries that anymore 😂

Easily something Jubilee did in the 90s, guaranteed

Hard agree with this stance

My X-Men takes are well-known and on the record but I think that maybe "it's ok for Jean to be a little insufferable sometimes because why wouldn't she be" is perhaps the take that has gotten the most backlash.

A white person with black-gray hair in a flannel shirt at a podium, this is Joe Koch, they are reading at Voidcon in Gettysburg 2025

Three writers on a panel about Human Monsters, Voidcon 2025. This is Charlene Elsby, Max Restaino and B. R. Yeager.

Three readers listening to Joe Koch's reading at Voidcon 2025. L to R this is David Simmons, Junkyard Ambrose (I think), and Sasha Ravitch.

I had a lot of travel issues getting to Voidcon so not a ton of photos, but still enough to share. Lots of highlights but no surprise to anyone that meeting some of my fellow Weirdpunk writers was a pretty big deal to me since I have all of most of their books already 💖

The hyper-leftist antipathy toward the “no kings” rally was very dispiriting and a lot of people lost points on that one

You can’t complain that liberals don’t care and then scoff when liberals come out in big numbers showing that they care

People say that compassion is humanity's unique trait but of course animals display compassion all the time. No. Our most redeeming trait is our ability to! Commit! To! The! Bit!

One thing AI robs you of is your human capacity for committing to the bit, and I think that's sad!

Reading Miss Majors Speaks was an incredibly moving experience last year. I can't recommend this book enough for those unfamiliar with her work.

Rest in peace 🖤
