- Reposted by Ashleyfor #TransHistoryWeek, a mini version of the history section on gender diversity at the back of I Shall Never Fall in Love (my last YA graphic novel). Always a challenge to simplify this stuff enough to be properly beginner-friendly without losing nuance, but I'm really proud of how it turned out

- I re-read a bunch of SUPERPOSE this morning in anticipation of ARC III ending, and I say with 0 exaggeration that its one of the most thoughtfully constructed, cinematic stories happening in comics, and the level of intention joe & anka put into everything in and around it is aspirational. go read!

- Reposted by AshleyI don’t care if you like me or don’t like me, all I care is that you change the standard procedure of comic books from one page per day (madness) to one page per week (gladness) Comic artists should be paid four thousand dollars per page and should draw *no more than* one page per week.

- If you're shopping this Indie Bookstore Day, check out your local books-to-prisoners program too! Many of them have Bookshop wishlists that also support your local bookstores NJ Books Behind Bars has one here! bookshop.org/wishlists/ab...
- Reposted by AshleyHappy Indie Bookstore Day! @bookshop.org has FREE SHIPPING this weekend, so it’s a perfect time to buy books for teens who are incarcerated, and there are still plenty of inexpensive options on our registry: bookshop.org/wishlists/70...
- last year @nobordersbooks.bsky.social sent 600+ books to Rikers; this year our book drive is for teens who are incarcerated in Brooklyn. please purchase a book if you can—most of these are requested titles, and a $7 Goosebumps book would mean A LOT to a kid in detention bookshop.org/wishlists/70...
- Reposted by AshleyIt’s really wild how there is no reason to deport anyone, let alone children and US citizens and LPRs and students and people undergoing cancer treatment etc. it’s all a fake solution to a made up problem enacted by violent racists who are stealing from you
