A tuxedo cat is nestled in bed against a pillow; the covers are pulled down in the foreground so the cat can nest. Also great use of not making the bed?

I am debuting my new perzine, Gay Goth Jock at Seattle Art Book Fair this weekend! Come for the riso cover and stay for the piping hot tea I’m about to spill. www.seattleartbookfair.org/Exhibitors
A mock up of a risograph cover: back cover is an arch and says Printed by Paper Press Punch and the front is a collage of a skull in front of roses on an ornate carved tomb. Text reads: Gay Goth Jock: a perzine from the depths of my personal hell.

Celebrating sending my gay goth zine to the print by working on on a Night Spirit Studios cross-stitch tonight (“Devil of a Time”).

Some of Mikhail’s greatest hits from Twitter
Mikhail replying to a tweet “so what makes somebody bi? Just saying I’m bi ain’t enough. Saying I’m anything does not make me anything” in reply to a tweet about how bisexuals are bi regardless of the gender of their partners.

You sure it wasn’t being so biphobic you got kicked out of a con?
Mikhail Koulikov, who harassed me and other bi folks for years on Twitter, thinks his most notable contribution is a paper he wrote and not how he alienated and attacked queer people in anime and manga studies for years?
