I just realized I hadn't shared this read from last month! Short review: read this book!
Slightly longer review: this book reminded me of Japanese horror in the best ways, specifically books like "100 Ghost Stories that will Lead to My Own Death" by Anji Matono. (Cont.)

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.
Remembering us is not enough.

As it is the spookiest week of the year, I read 'Cry Out Loud' @taraocomics.bsky.social. I wish this was longer, because I wanted so much more about the village and the weird relatives, but I am always here for Irish folklore and healing generational trauma. Every eldest daughter should read this.

I finally got a chance to sit down and read "Angelica and the Bear Prince" by @trungles.com and now I need everyone to read this! It's such a fantastic and sweet romance, and it made me almost cry at work.

Of course I'd already added this to my subs, but now I'm even MORE excited about the DC holiday anthology 🤩
Not a full book--"I'll Be Home For Hanukkah" is a short in this years's DC Holiday special, I SAW MA HUNKEL KISSING SANTA CLAUS. But @hannahtempler.com and @lgions.bsky.social have made it *beautiful,* so you will want to snatch that up.
Final order cut off is 10/27, so put your preorders in *now.*

It isn't kind to make fun of someone's appearance...but Miller looks like the Blue Fairy turned Squidward into a real boy.

I think we have to withhold prayers until God starts doing what we want. He’s a fiend for prayers and I think he’s just used to getting them. Cut off the supply and draw him out

If you actually watch Gavin Newsom's podcast I think you will lose any faith you have misplaced in him. I'm sorry! He capitulates repeatedly to the conservative provocateur B-team. I don't think he can do combative discourse well enough in person and I suspect he does not write his own tweets

To add to the collection of "Matt Fraction doing stuff" pictures on here, I present to you Fraction bonding with my son, George, who would have happily left me forever to follow Matt home. ⭐

Started reading Moby Dick on the recommendation of a friend, and I was NOT PREPARED for both a) how funny the first few chapters are, and b) how down bad Ishmael is for Queequeg. Like, nobody tell me if they kiss.

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’
You don’t ‘run the gambit.’
gamut = entire range or series
gauntlet = severe trial
Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️
