Queer Fantasy and Weird Tales for the People
Aquila Young, “Vagabond”
Good morning. I am writing to you from underneath one baby and one cat. Please send help. Or maybe snacks.
What the Hex was a lovely time, as always! It was great to catch up with old friends and meet some new ones. Now I have a bit of a break before Spooky Frog on the 16th.
In addition to being nap trapped, my wi-fi keeps kicking out, so I’ll call it here before I lose this post for the third time. I’ll be back tomorrow with a new page of Last Watch Before Dawn.
C.W. Stoneking, “The Love Me or Die”
Good morning!
The newsletter is going out tomorrow. Brooke has a new pack of cards for you, and I’m going to an event in April, and there will be cat pictures in there also. If that’s something that interests you, put your email in the box at this link, then check your inbox for a confirmation.
We’ve concluded the third chapter of this volume of Last Watch Before Dawn! There will be two more. Bonus art will go up tomorrow, and then we’ll start the next chapter on Friday. Now’s a good time to get caught up if you’ve been waiting. Here’s the table of contents.
A couple of petitions:
Via Win Without War: Block the sale of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli government
Via Just Foreign Policy: No troops in Iran, no on the draft
That’s all for now. I love you; stay safe and stop by again soon.
Parker Millsap, “Hades Pleads”
Good morning! If you’re reading this, I’m happy to see you.
After Friday’s eight-panel page, I’ve somehow given myself a seven-panel page to finish by tomorrow, so that’s what I’ll be working on. I’m hoping to get outside sometime today also.
So, a couple new comic pages this week, and not much else. It looks like I’m going to start heading out to markets again in May!
Some petitions I’ve gathered:
Via Demand Progress: Stop war on Iran
Via National Campaign for Justice: No ICE at the polls
Via Just Foreign Policy: Block the $50B bombs bill
That’s what I’ve got for today. Take care and have an excellent week.
Devon Gilfillian, “Troublemaker”
Good morning!
I have another event for this year’s calendar: Slay the Lake’s Pride Market! Saturday, June 27, at Soundgrowler Brewing Co. in Tinley Park, IL. I’m also on the waitlist for their Kenosha event this spring, but in any case, I’m looking forward to it.
The newsletter will be going out on Saturday, so if that’s something you’re interested in and you haven’t signed up yet, here’s the signup link again. Be sure to check your inbox for a confirmation when you’re done.
Other than that, I’ll have new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn for you tomorrow and Friday. This chapter is long and depressing, but we’re moving through it, and then things will start looking up! Sometimes you have to make your characters miserable.
A couple of petitions for today:
Via the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights: Block the bombs, again
Via Demand Progress: Block ICE’s warehouse prison expansion
Via The Workers Circle: Protect Haitian Temporary Protected Status
That’s what I’ve got for you. Thanks for being here.
Albert King, “Born Under a Bad Sign”
Good morning!
It looks like the first event on my calendar is the Kenosha Book Festival on April 26. I’ll have more information as we get closer!
Other than that, nothing much to report. I’ll have new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn tomorrow and Friday.
I also have a couple of petitions for today:
Via the Native Organizers Alliance: Protect gender-affirming care
Via the National Campaign for Justice: Keep ICE out of schools
Via Just Foreign Policy: End the fuel blockade on Cuba
As always, I appreciate you being here. Take care this week, and stop by again soon.
Miles Caton, “I Lied to You” (from Sinners)
It’s Monday again. Hi.
Not much to report for this week; I’ll have new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn on Tuesday and Friday, so be sure to stop by again.
Also, if it’s something you might find useful, I typed up my notes from the ACLU’s ICE observer training and put them over here.
A couple of petitions:
Via Public School Strong: Keep ICE out of public schools
Via MPower Action: Free Leqaa Kordia
Via the Institute for Middle East Understanding: Stop delivering more weapons to Israel
I hope you’re staying safe and warm this week.
Buffalo Nichols, “The Fatalist Blues”
Hello again!
So, I attended an ICE observer training call with the ACLU the other day. I typed up my notes and put them in the newsletter, and I’ll put them up here later this week when I have time, in case that’s something that might be useful to you. They’re having another call on February 5 as well.
In other news, I’ve got new pages of Last Watch Before Dawn for you, and they’ll be up on Tuesday and Friday. I’m enjoying this break from markets and things, especially now that it’s winter, but I’ll be getting back on the road soon! I’ll let you know.
Some petitions for today:
Via Watchdog.net: Restore UNRWA funding
Via National Campaign for Justice: Prohibit ICE raids on public schools
Via the Center for Human Needs: Not another dollar for ICE’s lawless attacks on our communities
Thanks for being here. Take care and stop by again soon!
Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, “St. James” (traditional)
Hello!
There was a minor formatting issue with The Book of the New Moon Door‘s audio, which prevented it from appearing on Audible. Thanks to the lovely people at Author’s Republic, that issue should be fixed now. I’ll let you know as soon as I find it on Audible.
The holiday sale is still going, and will be active through the end of the year! Paperbacks make great gifts and are easy to wrap, or you can just order for yourself.
I’ll be working on Last Watch Before Dawn this week. Stop by again for more pages.
Some petitions:
Via Win Without War: Prevent war with Venezuela
Via the ACLU: Stop illegal boat strikes
Via Our Revolution: Stop ICE’s campaign of terror
That’s all for now. I appreciate you. Take care and stay warm!
Hozier, “Empire Now”
Good morning!
In case you missed it, The Book of the New Moon Door is now available on more audiobook platforms. It may also be available from your library’s digital catalogue! If it’s not, you can always request to be notified if and when it’s available. If enough people do that, the library will buy a copy.
I’m working on another page of Last Watch Before Dawn, and I should have it ready by Wednesday. I’m hoping to get to a pace of two or more pages per week, so as to finish the first volume before the heat death of the universe.
On Saturday, I’ll be at Story Keepers Books in West Allis, WI for a Meet the Author event! The address is 7035 W Greenfield Ave, and the event runs from noon until 3. Bring books for me to sign! The shop has a few, also. More information can be found here.
A couple of petitions:
Via Women’s March: Abolish ICE
Via IfNotNow: Stop home demolitions in Umm al-Khair
Via CHN Action: Governors must demand SNAP funding
Via Civic Shout: Call for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan
That’s all I have for today! I’ll be back later with more comic, and I hope to see you at the bookshop on Saturday.
Kira Mac, “Hellfire and Holy Water”
Good morning! I have new content for you!
The latest episode of The Well Below the Valley is up on Patreon now, and on Wednesday it will be up here for free reading. I am putting the finishing touches on the next page of Last Watch Before Dawn, and it will be up later today. The next page is a single panel, so I’m hoping to get it out this week as well.
I’ll also be writing the newsletter today, and that will go out tomorrow. If you’re not signed up and would like to be (it has cat pictures), here’s a link. Be sure to check your inbox for a confirmation afterward.
Some petitions:
Via National Campaign for Justice: Birthright citizenship must be protected
Via Win Without War: Stop Trump’s march to war in Latin America
Via Drop Site: Grant safe passage to the Global Sumud Flotilla
Okay, I think that’s everything for right now. I love and appreciate you. Stop by again soon.
