Wolfram (they/them) from Brisbane, Australia. I'm a writer, publisher, and community volunteer — but consider myself a dedicated consumer of queer media above all things.
Popping on here after how many years (?) because I am unliving for the rise of gay ghost characters right now. Going to be working on a fun lil zine project covering undead queers in popular culture: DM me for details and/or contributions.
CXC 2022: Keynote: Queer banned books roundtable, with MariNaomi, Trung Le Nguyen (Trungles) and Maia Kobabe
Over the past year, nearly 1,145 books have been the target of bans from schools, libraries, and bookshops across the U.S, an unprecedented number. And with their ability to tells stories through text and image, comics are right at the center with bans against graphic memoirs like Art Spiegelman’s Maus and Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer making national headlines. Often, books that tell stories about queerness, race, gender, and history are the target of bans, as is the case for Trung Le Nguyen’s The Magic Fish and MariNaomi’s Life on Earth series. As Kobabe pointed out, book banning often hurts the very groups who are the subject of these works. As e wrote in The Washington Post, “Removing or restricting queer books in libraries and schools is like cutting a lifeline for queer youth.” In this essential panel, Kobabe, Nguyen, and MariNaomi come together to discuss the impact of book banning and why comics are at the center of the discussion yet again. Together, they address cultivating creativity and community through comics during this divisive moment in history.

Though the mosque receives death threats, it forges on, playing a life-saving role in the lives of its members.
