"trans rage" found by chance in a Hamilton wood type specimen book from 1895

this skeet is about my left-leaning parents and their left-leaning friends.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

When in doubt, make a zine.

No spoilers, but if you're a woman, trans, or nonbinary comics creator, please reply to this skeet with a link to your online portfolio *with a listed email address*, thanks!

Mazel Tov to our queer siblings at @invisiblehistories.bsky.social !! We're stoked that they've moved into their own archive space and will be able to provide access to tons of queer history and documents. 🩷🖤

F!&k yeah, Charlotte. So much good queer resistance has been there. Proud to say it’s where I’m from. Watch for @invisiblehistories.bsky.social ‘s grand opening of the new space on November 14!

NGL, @skyebluewantsu.bsky.social's poly-bi-queer romance novels are some of the most enjoyable that i've read (2 or 3x) in the past year. My favorites are the Knockdown series, and the others that i've read have been fun, too. #covidmadeaqueerromancereaderoutofme

Four of my queer romances are only 99 cents this week at Smashwords! If you 💙 an epub you can read anywhere, check 'em out. First, SHAKE THINGS UP, an FFM road trip romance: www.smashwords.com/books/view/1... Tipsy bowling, hella flirting, bi-pan solidarity, & a warm and optimistic polyam HFN.

and of course one of the best things about zine making is you can start with 12 or 20 copies-- and if you find you need more, the printer or photocopier is probably still there

Approach zine making the same way that you made blog posts 10 years ago. Do you have an opinion that maybe 8 friends and like 3 strangers might be interested in? An answer to a question that's infrequently asked? A rant you could turn into a tight 5? that's zine material right there, buds

A very happy International Zine Libraries Day (July 21st) to all zine libraries and librarians around the world!!! 🥳 As is tradition, if you can, please honor this day by bringing the zine librarian in your life a donut or other sweet treat to celebrate the work and play that they do! 🍩

We are incredibly grateful to be the recipient of one of this year's Jen Angel Anarchist Media Grants. About a year ago we ran out of space to store all of the queer zines that have been donated or acquired by our archive, and this grant's funding will be going to rectify that. #circleaarchivists

A couple of years ago I had a lovely conversation with @gabrielduckels.bsky.social about my misspent youth* as an AIDS activist for a project he was working on with David Levithan**... and now it's actually a book! 1/2
