See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

wolfcat-hybrid asked:

If we wanted to buy one of your books, what's the best way to go about it? Does one platform give you more of the money over another?

Thank you so much for asking! My general response is “buy books anywhere except Amazon”- it’s great to support a local indie bookstore in your town, and any comic book shop or general bookstore should be able to order any of my books if they don’t have them on the shelf. If you are physically very distant from any bookstores, you can also order my books directly from the publishers or online shops at these links:

Gender Queer softcover / Gender Queer hardcover

Breathe: Journeys to Healthy Binding

and some collections that include my short stories:

Preorder Banned Together: Our Fight for Readers Rights anthology

Cartoonists for Palestine anthology

Be Gay Do Comics anthology

The Secret Loves of Geeks

FTL, Y'all!: Tales From the Age of the $200 Warp Drive

Tabula Idem: A Queer Tarot Comic Anthology

Theater of Terror: Revenge of the Queers

And the one YA novel I provided illustrations for, which is out of print but you can get it used:

We Are The Ashes, We Are The Fire

Liz Toohey-Wiese, 2024.

"A sign installed in the largest wildfire burn I’ve ever seen, along the BC/YK border. Borrowing the aesthetics of BC Recreation Site signs, once again pointing to the overlaps of outdoor recreation, resource extraction, and the consequences of the climate crisis. Most recreation sites in BC exist along previously built logging and mining roads.

“Forced into a great and difficult transformation” was a line I heard in a lecture on Buddhist philosophy I was listening to on my drive up north. But it became another mantra I thought about while living in a place that’s been utterly transformed by resource extraction over the past century, and as I thought about the burnt landscapes I drove through."

to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe 💚

I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.

There is NO "death of the author" with JK Rowling - she controls and continues to profit from her IP, and uses that money to fund hate groups.

How Many More Times Can We Say It? Your Harry Potter Addiction Is Funding Transphobia
When one person can give £70,000 to a hate group's legal funds, maybe it's time to bin the Dobby plushies.

Here's your periodic reminder of why it's so important not to buy any Harry Potter merch or watch anything JKR profits from.

It isn't about cancelling problematic media, idgaf. We're capable of reading books we already own with a critical eye.

It's about not giving more power to someone who is using it to materially harm our community.

And yes that includes that shitty video game, yes that includes the Lego sets, yes it includes visiting the theme park. Stop giving Transphobia Georg money.

And if you still have a Hogwarts house listed in your bio… delete that shit.

fuck jkr don't buy harry potter merch transphobia
