we cut the gay stuff because parents felt bad having to out themselves as blatant homophobic bigots to children who have otherwise been taught to love everyone and treat others as you'd have them treat you

You're spending so much of your time vampire surviving, but can you take a minute to ask yourself "Am I Vampire Thriving?"

I don't think American Jewish institutions like the ADL and the AJC have fully reckoned with how their behavior during the Zohran Mamdani mayoral election is going to prove to be the kind of generational mistake that will place American Jews in greater danger for years to come.

Coming Out To My Bubbie YouTube video by Yiddish Book Center

i have learned SO MUCH about how to say “lesbian” in yiddish over the past day and it is bringing me such joy. it has also led to me rewatching this sweet little gem of a story

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

Hey it's maybe a bad sign that I went to type "should" on my phone in a text, it autocorrected to "souls" and when I went to manually revise the first suggested option was "Soros"

This morning's murps and bonks. Marvin and Little Big Fat are still looking for a forever home in the Austin/Central Texas area!

Put the Message in the Box / Migrations, by Mary Chapin Carpenter & the Mountain Goats 2 track album

I have adored Mary Chapin Carpenter's work for decades. One of the great honors of my life to collaborate with her on this single of two covers of songs we love, out today! themountaingoats.bandcamp.com/album/put-th...

53 Indie and Microindie Games, and Where to Find Many More F — around and find out (complimentary) this year by following a few simple steps, in as little as 10 minutes.

this year, i want you to find and play many more weird and wonderful games. here's how to do it. (i made the story "members only" for discovery, but this is a friend link.)

The similarity of language is honestly quite striking

One Year On: 13 people on the ruling that changed their lives On 16 April 2025, the UK’s Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on their biological sex assigned at birth. Forget the rage-bait headlines and attempts to divide us through...

my first piece (cowritten with Catriona Innes) in a print magazine comes out today: we interviewed 13 people, mostly trans women, about how the Supreme Court ruling has affected them for Cosmo UK

GLAAD MEDIA AWARD WINNER: OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK Avengers Academy: Marvel’s Voices By Anthony Oliveira, Elsa Sjunneson, Carola Borelli, Bailie Rosenlund, Pablo Collar, Charles Stewart III, Alti Firmansyah, Minkyu Jung, KJ Díaz, Ruth Redmond, Dono Sánchez-Almara, Ariana Maher, Joe Caramagna (Marvel Infinity Comics)

I am so thankful for the gift of this recognition on behalf of myself and all of the crew on Avengers Academy. We strove week after week to make art worthy of our community – to deepen and enrich the world for queer, trans, and HIV+ representation and readership, to insist we belonged in these worlds of fiction and in the world that dreams them. We wanted both to illuminate queer stories told long ago and to trailblaze new paths forward. It was not always easy, but it was always worth it. I am so proud of this work, and so honoured to have it so celebrated. Thank you. Thank you to all the impossibly gifted collaborators on this project for all your brilliance, enthusiasm, and generosity: our regular artists Carola Borelli, Bailie Rosenlund, and Pablo Collar; our colorists KJ Diaz and Ruth Redmond; our letterists Ariana Maher and Joe Caramagna; as well as our numerous guest talents – who enriched this book week after week with their gifts and perspectives. Thanks too to our editors, Lindsey Cohick, Sidney Stubbs, Wil Moss, and founding editor and Sarah Brunstad who willed this book into life. Time and again this book redefined what could happen, how it could look and read, and above all who could be in a superhero comic, and I could not be prouder. And, with great admiration and profoundest appreciation, thank you to my community, for always lifting me up. Finding all of you has been the great gift of my life. This category is full of the fellow artists who showed me there was a place for us to create and to live in this world, and I live in the enduring blessing of their work. I said it when we ended, and I will say it here again: comics will mend your heart, if you let them. When I was a scared, lonely, closeted kid, the Marvel universe’s heroes were there for me when very little else was. That is a debt I can never pay back, but one I’ve tried with great travail to pay forward. I want to believe we have afforded a little of that same refuge to those who soug…

Amazed and honoured that AVENGERS ACADEMY has won the GLAAD Media Award for OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK!

This book pushed every boundary in this industry, and I am so grateful for the gift of these talented collaborators and this generous, uplifting community of readers. deadline.com/2026/03/glaa...

I love how perfect this is. Adopted immediately.

I was gonna make a joke but this is actually a fascinating article

A lot of people think “surely nobody wants to fuck someone they think is subhuman,” and these people need to be taught about the concept of heterosexual men.

Trans Porn Is Booming. Trans Rights Are Fading We asked trans adult creators about the complicated link between desire and politics, as trans porn is booming while rights fade.

Interesting interview in Playboy with transgender adult content creators. People often point to Pornhub stats showing trans content is more popular than ever as a contradiction, as if political and sexual objectification were ever mutually exclusive

“On Speaking Ice” by Benjamin Balthaser in my city, two fallen en route to a market, eight more at an intersection of a hospital, ice in their cheeks, hair, lips as if they said goodbye (poetry)

Happy to have a poem in Another Chicago Magazine. I wrote this several weeks ago at the height of the Minneapolis uprising, during a bitter cold snap, when DHS instructed state agencies to not use the word “ice” to describe weather events anotherchicagomagazine.net/2026/03/05/o...

Re: enabling workplace abuse, read to the end for Mike’s weird fucking response that names the reporter multiple times as if he’s addressing her, specifically:

I know Richardson was an absolute force in the industry, changing the landscape of comics forever, giving lots of opportunities to amazing indie work.

He also stifled a lot of great projects and creators, enabled workplace abuse, and perpetuated ineptitude all through his company.

ending her career lying about an orwell quote while the entire room is getting news notifications about how she’s been fired and clearly doesn’t know it, perfect

Here’s an actual news article on the topic. It supports the idea that the issue was outdated data, but not that the target was selected by gen AI. www.npr.org/2026/03/04/n...

"the government has managed to cut taxes for higher-income Albertans while raising them for lower-income ones — and has done so through a fiscal shell game that hides the provincial tax increase in your municipal property tax bill." Many such stories!

A threatening and creepy tree I don't like at all, which speaks out of its bellybutton and is advancing towards me in tiny tree steps which it thinks I haven't noticed, and repeatedly asking me why I will not "Come inside where it is warm, for a nice treat."

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent trees I have met on walks.

You will find the all-important captions to each photo in the alt text.

Mark Carney’s Iran reaction raises doubts about what he stands for In this dangerous world, Canada needs to see clearly what we are dealing with. But we also need to remember who we are.

Mark Carney's reaction to the US attack on Iran, and his subsequent defences of that attack, made you wonder: for all his talk of pragmatism and principles, what does he stand for? And what does he think Canada wants him to stand for? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
