The #TransRightsReadathon starts today.
In a bit of a reading slump but still want to take part? Here are 30 trans and non-binary graphic novels we stock at www.proud-geek.co.uk that are well worth a read this year.

Watching #SB1 coverage of the #OhioHouse coverage & can't imagine the kind of mental gymnastics it takes to quote Maya Angelou while calling for the dismantling of DEI organizations and initiatives.

Parents, we see you. We empathize with the challenges that you may be facing, and you deserve a moment to decompress and reset. In this month's Geeky Parent Guide, Fanbase Press' @travisadork.bsky.social shares ideas for "doable" date nights, even when free time seems impossible.

This leap day snippet from Alexander Boxer on NPR is your reminder to just BE YOUR WEIRD SELF!
“the #LeapYear is…a great reminder that the universe is really good at defying our attempts to devise nice & pretty & aesthetically pleasing systems to fit in.”
“the #LeapYear is…a great reminder that the universe is really good at defying our attempts to devise nice & pretty & aesthetically pleasing systems to fit in.”

I've done a lot of talking about how this industry isn't supporting comics critics, so it's probably good for me to put some money where my mouth is.
I'm giving two mini grants to comics critics.

Instead of resolutions this year, I decided that I wanted to curate a year of vibes. 2024 will be devoted to embracing the vibes of Janelle Monàe’s “Age of Pleasure” with each month inspired by a song from her album. “Float” is the perfect way to start my year of pleasure 🥳
