Truth. #PrideMonth #Pride2023
Most important read of the week, though, is this one: The students at Central York High School are working into their third week of protesting against book bans. This is the second time they've done this. Here's what they have to say: bookriot.com/central-york-h…
I made it a nice shareable graphic, too, just in case you want that.
“If you’re going to live your life like a book that would be banned in Florida, your ass better be on the ground, in the capitol buildings, in those classrooms and libraries, begging the media to do better, doing everything you can to help the people who have no other options.”
While some want to ban my book, here’s what KIDS email me: “Hi I like the third book because I saw that Jordan and his friends went to Paris and that Maury is the leader. I like this book so much thank you for making it cause it understands me”
Me to my companion for tonight: “being a pain in the ass is about all I’m good for after 5 pm”
Going to cheer myself up from being so angry all day by going to a city committee meeting tonight to tell one of the local bigots to go eat dirt. I only wish I had queer buttons or something to really get her going, but alas, my sparkling personality will have to suffice.
Libraries, we need to have a real conversation about why some of you still have your comics in 741.5. I'll go so far as to say if you're still doing this, you're very out of touch with how modern libraries are run. ✨Stop✨
Happy #InternationalWomensDay! We're kicking off Women's History Month by interviewing notable figures in the Comics Industry. Check out our first in the series with @MoniBarre, President of @libcomix! Read here: skybnd.info/WHM_MB
