In the future, all these books by politicians will be forgotten while the books they're trying to ban will remain classics and live on for generations.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis.
In 1933.

They always come for trans people first.

That being said, none my material is being used in the promotion. The book is focusing on its main feature but it is an anthology - I contributed a 6-page WWII tragedy with absolutely FANTASTIC art by @stipanmorian.bsky.social! Its an "issue 0" of a planned 3-part series, with #1 well underway!

If you feel overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news streaming out of Washington, that's by design.
Instead of feeling helpless in the face of it all, pick one or two issues that speak to you deeply and concentrate on pushing back on those.
This is not a sprint. Saving the Republic is a marathon.

That moment when you realize you've borrowed a comic from the library that you already own.
At least Off Menu (by Oliver Gerlach and Kelsi Jo Silva) is cute enough to pick up twice!
