Only a couple days left to snatch up the "Trans People Take on the World" bundle on Itchio. This bundle ends Nov. 15th. Support trans authors / representation and get yourself 32 books for only $35? Sounds like a win-win to me! 🌈📚

Today is publication day for MANGA'S FIRST CENTURY in North America! It's available at bookstores large and small. ahorbinski.com/books/

If you've already read the book, please consider leaving a review online! It helps. And if your budget is tight, requesting the book at the library is great too!

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

You there. I want you to say, aloud, at some point today "I'm really glad I'm good at..." And then you're gonna say something you think you do pretty well.

If you don't think you do anything pretty well, I want you to say "one little thing that makes me unique is..."

And if you can't do either?

Call for trans zine recommendations: my Trans Studies students are going to be doing a unit on zines next month, and one activity we're doing is looking at as many physical zines as I can get my hands on. If you know of cool trans zines that ARE PURCHASABLE ON PAPER, please let me know!!!

Hey @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social, remember me from Song of the Summer?

It's very trans and it is full of Good Words and Cool Imagery and I think y'all will like it. <3

"Punches That Land" by Meredith Gran is a case study and craft talk about transforming web comics into video games. It's rich in concrete examples of how sequential art, especially the creative use of digital panels and interaction, deepens the narrative. #comics

"Stop thinking of COVID as if it's an acute cold. Think of it as a neuroinvasive virus you can get every year or two that slowly degrades your brain in ways that will harm your abilities and quality of life throughout your life." (thread with studies)
I just read my tenth #COVID19 research study in the past month or so that demonstrates COVID infections cause brain changes that may accelerate Alzheimer's disease, are associated with cognitive decline, and cause fatigue, memory impairment, and sleep disorders. (1/?)

We've been telling you.

"A story structure that undercuts itself—dulling both its emotional and action beats while also making the already lengthy movie feel like it drags on."

If you can't make it out to the event today, please consider picking something up from my Kofi. August is on track to be my worst month this year by a massive margin (currently less than 1/3 of any other month).
