It's Walpurgisnacht, better known as International Johannes Cabal Appreciation Day, the global holiday when children in black suits and blue sunglasses turn up on every doorstep and demand the household's esoteric tomes at gunpoint.

How will YOU celebrate this important day?

"I Hope We Choose Love: A Trans Girl's Notes from the End of the World" by @razorfemme.bsky.social guided me back through my own relationships in the 2010s of queer punk Montreal.

A raw and candid reflection on accountability and empathy from within and without the queer community.

My final bookclub read of 2024 was #AlisonBechdel 's 'Dykes To Watch Out For'

The collection spans 1987-2008, and still hits as the best queer, socio-pol soap opera serial. I loved every strip, every Mo freakout, every pet dog! 📚 🌈 🐶

Thanks to Crossover Comics for amazing picks this year!

Earlier this year, I watched Cord Jefferson's #AmericanFiction. Loved it, and it won the Academy Award for best Adapted Screenplay based on Percival Everett's novel 'Erasure' - so I picked up his latest book, 'James'.

Instant American classic, a profound code-switching satire. Pick it up.

Pound for pound, Black Canary: Best of the Best is @tomking.bsky.social's strongest debut of the year - which says a lot, with #HelenOfWyndhorn being a contender for best new #comics series of 2024.

And that knockout final page by Ryan Sook, an amazing artist to have in your corner! 🥊🖤🦸‍♀️

The most staggering and personal #poetry collection I read this year was Pig by Sam Max. Playing across so many themes (queerness, community, anti-zionist politics, etc. ) and poetic structures, rarely have I read something so often bleak and brave with so much humor and anger.

Wacky Strangers Log, I love this.

What the hell is going on in Barstow? This sinister southwest series kicked off with maybe the best body horror I've read in a minute, and definitely the worst couple's face tattoo. 💥🤘😱

I only got to stay for 5 Issues at The Lough Inn, but I won't forget Maebh, Traolock, and all the folk of Carraig an Bhun. Both Classic Western and Tolkinesque, this was a beautiful Stranger Comes to Town tale 🏹🍺🧝

Finishing my 10th TWI Book of 2024 with 'The Wind Runner', blown away at how this 'slice of life' isekai became my favourite fantasy epic. And can't wait for more Toren (💀), Bird (🐜), and Pisces (🧙) chapters!

Due's solo comics debut of 'Moon Dogs' in 'The Horizon Experiment' hit so hard (🐺💃🌒), it's instantly my One-Shot of the year! And though I'd love more Moon Dogs, I now can't wait to start reading Due's 'The Reformatory: A Novel'

Leaving our villains series' behind (🐍,👹,🥷) I didn't know what to expect starting over with Duke's new team. But if this is how we're going to move through a deep bench of Joes, I'll be here for it every month! 🤘🔫⚡
