Something delightfully wonderful and whimsically wholesome about finishing thumbnails for a middle grade book is that you feel powerful enough to commit murder

Trying to cryptically express to you, the themes of my next book
From Queer Indonesia Archive digital exhibition about zines: MitraS was a short-lived lesbian publication created in the late 90s made in response to the lack of lesbian publications at the time and as a challenge to the myth that there was no lesbian scene in Indonesia. The magazine is evocative of the loneliness and isolation being faced by many members of the lesbian community due to their double burden of sexism and homophobia within the wider Indonesian community. From Queer Indonesia archive digital exhibition "Queer Jakarta in the 90s an incomplete history": The lack of visibility of the lesbian community in Indonesia, and the the lack of lesbian engagement in the gay mens activist movement became of increasing concern to members of the Kelopok Kerja Lesbian dan Gay Nusantara (The lesbian and gay working group of the archipelago). In 1989, Dede Oetomo, one Indonesia’s leading gay activists, wrote call out to Indonesian lesbians in the magazine Gaya Nusantara – the countries biggest gay publication. The article titled 'Indonesian Lesbians: where are you?’ was a call for engagement from the lesbian community.

Loro Blonyo are Javanese statues that depict a man and a woman in traditional clothes. They're found in households and establishments in Indonesia.

Here's that concept but with a queer couple. 🌈

⭐A READING LIST OF SUPERMAN COMICS JESNCIN THINKS ARE PRETTY NEAT⭐🧵(1/9)

#Booksky #DCcomics #Superman
SUPERMAN COMICS JESNCIN THINKS ARE PRETTY NEAT A CASUAL READING LIST OF COMICS I DON’T OFTEN SEE RECOMMENDED Guide: 100 symbol = A “No if, and, or buts” recommendation. I wholeheartedly like this comic. * symbol= Not quite a top pick, but I see its merit enough to recommend it. I just have some qualms… This list prioritizes comics that don’t require pre-requisite knowledge to enjoy. Along with shorter stories that are more accessible.

Sharing some of my fav DC Gotcha for Gaza pieces 😀

The prompt for this one is Clark celebrating Hanukkah with J'onn 🕎

#Art #DCcomics #Superman #MartianManhunter
Clark Kent eating latkes while J'onn is eating sufganiyah. J'onn is in his green martian form while wearing casual clothes. Clark is wearing a kippah on his head. There's a doodle in the corner of J'onn getting nervous around the Hanukkah menorah since he has an aversion to fire, Clark assures him it is electric.

Christmas with the Martian Brothers 🎄👽

#Art #Comics #DCcomics #Superman #MartianManhunter
J'onn in his John Jones disguise opens a door looking stressed. Clark has arrived carrying a picnic basket. J'onn looks stressed "KAL EL! THANK H'RONMEER YOU'RE HERE!" He pulls Clark into his apartment while transforming into his green Martian form "we have no time to waste! The month of Father Nicholas' descent from the North is upon us! There are so many preparations to be made if we are to avoid his wrath!" Clark asks "w-wrath?" J'onn starts working on a tiny Christmas tree. "EXACTLY. We can only HOPE for mercy! May we too be resurrected from a pickled demise!" Clark responds "J'onn, I think you're stressing yourself out. You're confusing a lot of legends and folktales for each other-" Clark continues; "-which I'm sure is easy to accidentally do when stories and traditions change over time! But in the end, Santa Claus isn't something to fret yourself silly over!" In the background, Ma'al sets up a spiked trap on the window. J'onn continues struggling with the little tree. Clark: "..." Clark: "want to celebrate Hanukkah with my family?" The Martians turn to face him.

Merry Christmas to all of you, wherever you are, your support this year has been my greatest gift! 🎁✨

I hope you all can be there for those who bring you comfort and security, with lots of food! 🎄✨
An old abstract illustration titled "Shark Diva," created as a gift for shark activist Cristina Zenato. The illustration depicts an unknown female figure, standing asleep, hovering above a mystical sea full of waves and a cosmic sky. She is dressed in a long dress made of sapphire-colored waves, and several small sharks swim around her, following the flow of magical, shimmering water. Above, a resplendent star hovers. The cone-shaped composition subtly evokes the symbolism of a Christmas tree.

Even when I like some of their music, Pasek and Paul's pop "make it sound good out of context for radio" songwriting is so at odds to theatrical storytelling. It robs the uniqueness of character voices into generic nothingness. Everything sounds like inspirational anti-bullying anthems.

A Freaky Friday musical should be a slam dunk. Get the mom to sing in classical theatre style and the daughter to sing in contemporary pop punk/ alternative sound. Then when they switch, the actresses swap their singing styles.

But noooo they went for bland generic inspirational pop for every song

Clark Kent + Lois Lane rendition of a Crazy Ex Girlfriend joke 🤧

(Old superman goof)

#Art #Comics #DCcomics #Superman #Artsky
Lois Lane (as an Indonesian woman) stubbornly reads a newspaper while seated in front of Clark Kent's work desk (she is sitting on a chair). Lois says "it's been such an exhausting week for news. Can't catch a break." Clark looks up from his laptop concerningly at Lois. He says "you should have a rest day, Lois." Clark blushes as he holds the side of his neck bashfully. He says "there's a new museum exhibit that opened up downtown. We could go together... like a date. Because you're pretty, and you're smart, and..." Clark continues talking at Lois who looks up from the newspaper she was reading, barely processing what he's saying. Clark says "...you're ignoring me, so you're obviously my type." Lois says "sorry Clark, what were you saying?" Clark blushes while leaning his cheek against his hand, looking dreamily at Lois. "perfect" he says. In a very tiny speech bubble.

Day 14: Irish Breakfast Tea

That's the third breakfast tea so far, and hopefully it'll be a while til the next one. Skipped the customary hat and went with a Galway shawl this time.
A cartoon witch with red hair and freckles. She wears a blue dress with a knitted wrap over her chest, and a dark blue Galway shawl draped over her head and shoulders. Around her neck, wrists, waist and ankles are gold Celtic jewelry, and in her hands she holds a steaming cup of tea.
