Are you keen to support queer voices in art? I found this project on Kickstarter, and it could use some more financial support to get over the finish line. kck.st/41Hjqj6 Even if you’re not interested in graphic novels, supporting queer art leads to more queer art.

I am on this panel at Wondercon this weekend with an amazing @prismcomics.bsky.social crew! Come by and say hi!

Soon! Join us at 5:30 PST for some women's sports #livedrawing games and other shenanigans! #livedraw #comicsky #comics #sports #sportsky #hockey #basketball #soccer #pwhl #nwsl #wnba

This is where I like a sports metaphor. Nobody cares if a ball machine can shoot a baseball faster than any pitcher. You wanna be amazed when a PERSON does that. I wanna read a book or watch a movie & get all mad because I can’t believe the writer had the gall to just DO that, right in front of us.

Ken Schultz of Outsports has good things to say about Come Out and Play: The Queer Sports Project and the creators behind it! He talks to Megan Praz and Meghan Kemp-Gee about this incredible comics anthology! Back it on Kickstarter today! www.outsports.com/2025/3/25/24...
