Doll Man Quarterly

It's a comic artist's job to guide the reader to the most important focal elements in any given page / panel, and I think Bill Ward does an exemplary job on this "Torchy" page from Doll Man.

This is cool but you may, like me, be disappointed to learn that the ASL interpretation is done by a normal human guy

Yamada Murasaki's TALK TO MY BACK is a stunning work of comics. Yamada's artwork has a gorgeously tentative edge to it, a deceptive sketch-like quality that serves as a beautiful contrast to the striking, beautifully-articulated interiority and frustration of the story. I adored it.

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

today is my NINETEEN YEAR anniversary working at my local library In honor of that, I ask you to get a card to your local public library today! If you ALREADY have a card to your local public library, check out their digital resources! Their summer programs! And yeah, they have books too.

The logic is circular. Biden's infirmity is the story. Other things can't be the story, because they're not the story. Why is Biden the story? Because he's the story. If the threat of Trump is the story, why isn't it already the story? And on and on.

Every time I think about a scene from a movie, I should get paid for advertising it to myself.

If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again. anchoreditions.com/blog/dorothe...

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Anti-Catholicism in America is historically intertwined with anti-immigrant bigotry, but why do I feel like something has flipped and all the America First guys these days are enthusiastically embracing High Church

what if we have a little moratorium on publishing the opinions of adult converts to Catholicism in the American news media, just for a year or two

Dems were one Comey letter away from a 5-4 liberal court!

“democrats have to win every election forever” is not a sustainable solution and it is quite literally the one we are facing unless we break the power of this court

Wherever there are gaps, there grows fanfiction. As true for politics as for anything else

one reason the chaos presently unfolding is kind of exciting is that it feels like a Bane-type character might step out of the shadows

Hi, to be clear: cis straight men CAN be totally normal and empathetic about lesbians and trans people without "secretly" being closeted or an egg or whatever the hell. The hyper parasocial way some folks go "oh estrogen would fix him" or ascribe identities to actually real people is kinda weird!!

It will forever drive me nuts that one of the most beautiful bits of lesbian romance I've ever heard was said on a TTRPG show shared between a half-phoenix wizard on a time traveling vacation with her weird dad to her tiefling rock star girlfriend via a meteor shower And said by a STRAIGHT CIS MAN.
