New add to 2025's favorite comics:
The Ardent by @cantocomics.bsky.social via @fieldmouse.press
I loved reading this work, but I'm most impressed by the way Antonowicz flirts with some really dark moments, but then balances a comedic whimsy in a way that doesn't feel like tonal whiplash.

Hey cis-friends, here’s another quick way to help trans folx in your life. Leave comments on all three. Tell your friends. Pass it on.
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.
