Not just because it’s coming in Portuguese. 🇧🇷 Not just because it’s HEADING INTO A 2nd PRINTING. 😳😱🤩
It reminds me stories travel farther carried by community. Thank you to all who shared & celebrated Queer Mythology. You are part of its journey—and mine. 💫📚🌈

On this day in 1988, a scrappy local show proved the best way to enjoy a B-movie is to laugh with it—or at it. MST3K turned late-night bargain-bin cinema into a shared art form, a little party for monster suits and misfits. All you need is a weird film, good friends, and a comfy place to riff.

📖💥 Some comics just burn themselves into your brain, panel by panel.
👉 House of X #1 did it.
👉 X-Men (1991) #1 did it harder & first.
Psyched to have the bookends: the OG Blue & Gold omnibus and the Dawn of X omnibus. Thinking it might be time for a full X-reread… from ’91 to Krakoa. 💙💛🌱

🎂✨ Happy Birthday, Queer Mythology! ✨🎂
One year ago, this book of queer myths and legends entered the world. Since then, it’s been read, shared, taught, and celebrated. 🌍📚
At its heart is a truth: we have always existed. From Tu’er Shen to Lakapati to Xochipilli, our stories are ancient and alive.

✨ After my own whirlwind back-to-school night, a friend told me her child discovered my book on their school library shelf. 💜 Almost a year since release (!!), and I’ll be celebrating with events this fall—some online.
📚 Here’s to stories finding their way to classrooms, libraries & young readers.

BREAKING: Federal court blocks and limits most of Florida law targeting school library books.
The only constitutional application is its "harmful to minors" provision, which limits obscene material that had already been banned from school libraries.

🏕️ Camp Nowhere hit theaters on this day in 1994! 🎬
This cult summer flick flopped at the box office but blew up on VHS — especially with kids dreaming of ditching camp rules for pizza and pranks. 🍕🎮
🎬 Trivia: It’s the first credited film role for a young Jessica Alba — blink and you’ll miss her!
