New review! Low fantasy lesbian goes on a questing Bildungsroman after getting cursed.
I grew up reading Amar Chitra Katha and very old school Spider-Man. The color work in this was such a delightful trip down nostalgia lane, though the panels are bigger w/ more room to breathe than in those series

Cutting Medicaid means costs are shifted to providers. When patients lose coverage, they turn to ERs for care they can’t afford. Hospitals eat the cost, pass it on to insurers, and your premiums go up.
Medicaid cuts mean a worse health care system for EVERYONE.

On chpt 2 of @sophiegilbert.bsky.social’s book and recalling Bethann Hardison’s “Invisible Beauty”. There’s a chilling moment on the shift to girls from behind the Iron Curtain. Showed, not told, how intersecting vulnerabilities left them more exploitable than adult models with literal agencies.

This is so well deserved. Their work is profoundly unsettling and also well written and rooted in compassion even as it excavates pain. A rare combination.

I’ve been reading these lately. I keep them nearby on my shelves because they are examples of an artist using their craft to tell their story, and their history. Poetry, illustration, manga, comedy and even architectural design. These books remind me why art matters, why craft and intention matter.

I loved this book by James Albon so much. It takes elements from some of the best rom coms and remixes them with thoughtful, beautiful art and a sweet sapphic love story about how people in love create languages of their own 💙❤️💛

The posthumously translated A Muzzle for Witches is her final work, returning to many of her themes.
