"We try our best," I said. "And we know that you do, too."
Y'all, her face lit up like that was the biggest compliment she'd received in long time. It may have been.
Wednesday and I stop by a Wawa every Saturday morning to get a post-karate class snack, and the tattooed and pierced woman who restocks the hot food has come to expect us. She had made hashbrowns and Wednesday's favorite sandwich (double bacon) fresh.
"You two are always so pleasant," she said.
Hays Code was self enforced! So was Comics Code Authority! These weren’t laws and look what still lasted DECADES and destroyed careers/freedom of expression. US comics industry never recovered from it bc comics aimed at adults still aren’t a thing, that’s why manga filled the market gap.
In HAWKGIRL: ONCE UPON A GALAXY, I broke a skylight in every issue, culminating with Hawkgirl killing a god named Skylight.
It is so hard to be trans right now, y’all. Like, I can’t speak for everyone but I’m white-knuckling it pretty much constantly at this point. I hope cis people are understanding how much is at stake for us in this moment: It’s literally our right to exist as ourselves that is being stripped away.

Okay, that's commitment to a bit.
Oh for God's sake Jadzia
...that I'm hilarious?
Yes. Yes, I do.
Feel the fire. (OC from my upcoming Graphic Novel)
Post a great photo of a musician.
What?
Cookies worth getting excited about.
I always liked that Avengers era in the 90s where they all wore brown leather jackets over their costumes with an "A" patch on the sleeve. A nice uniting element.
You can't do that with every superhero team, but it worked for them.
What are your top 5 DC superhero costumes that incorporate jackets?
they should invent a world where it isn't one damn thing after another

The readathon encourages readers to seek out books by and about trans, nonbinary, 2Spirit, and gender noncomforming authors and characters.
While I decide which books I'll be reading, here's a list with recommendations! #TRR26

We worked together on the Philly Biodiversity zine- he did the page on Climate Change!
His adorable characters are all over poles in the city, in bar bathrooms, wheatpasted all over, and in almost everyone's sticker collections.
I was lucky to have known him and worked with him.
A foundational member of the Philly street art community died on Saturday. We all found out as a community Wednesday & have been reeling ever since.
Justin, or as most knew him, El Toro, was SO positive & an incredibly supportive community member. I can't wrap my head around our scene without him.
One of them was the last part of [SAPPHIRE] so, sure.
