A con table covered in comics

I'm at @ggbavaria.bsky.social in Munich, sharing a table with @kinderstreichkaese.bsky.social all weekend!

One more day to get sooooo many dirty comics, including my book Bruised Fruit!

A government which does not want trans people to exist, and is legally allowed to force detransition in prisons, has created incentive for itself to put more trans people in prisons.

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Thinking of all my loved ones in Kansas and hating what's being done there

Nooo not the shibari!!

Which is inarguably good news, but I did feel a little silly walking out of the doctor's office three minutes after walking in

Turns out you can drop a big old can of beans on your foot and have it still be sore a month later but it's NOT broken

A screenshot of the Amazon page for the graphic novel RUINED

The German publisher for Ruined put a giant "NO AI" label on the cover on Amazon, I love that this is becoming a positive marketing point

Oh I looove the effect for the trees!

Yay congrats!

This is sadly a growing scam, similar ones invite you to a discord server book club full of 3000 bot "readers". Their end goal is to trick authors into paying for reviews/etc
