The New Queer Conscience

Pocket Change Collective was born out of a need for space. Space to think. Space to connect. Space to be yourself. And this is your invitation to join us. In The New Queer Conscience, LGBTQIA+ activist Adam Eli argues the urgent need for queer responsibility — that queers anywhere are responsible for queers everywhere. Pocket

Don’t Let the Forest In

*Once upon a time, Andrew had cut out his heart and given it to this boy, and he was very sure Thomas had no idea that Andrew would do anything for him. Protect him. Lie for him. Kill for him.* High school senior Andrew Perrault finds refuge in the twisted fairytales that he writes for

New World: An Anthology of Sci-Fi and Fantasy

Aaah… what a stupendous collection, with so many big names in comics! My favorite in this anthology ended up being Written in Stone, by Carla Speed McNeil. I ended up reading it three times back to back, and then once more before I put down the book. (I reread it when I opened the book

The Herbalist and the Landlord

Honestly, I think this counts as a zine as well. Where did I even get this? It’s a mystery.* I ended up reading it more than once— literally I read it, then read it again, and then when I went to write about it, I read it agia . It’s a short 21 pager. The

Eldritch Lust #1

Beautiful art. Boring porn. “But M! This is about fucking otherworldly beings!” Yeah, but some of it’s so vague, or hard to see, and you kind of… can’t enjoy it as much? Maybe it’s the person between the keyboard and the chair who is the problem? Listen— they led with the best one first, which

Queer Code

Honestly, a big agree with Panic Volkushka on this. The sense of seeing queerness in the strange and the villainous is a big one. Included is also a nice long list of recommended films to check out as well.

Sunhead

In this queer coming-of-age teen graphic novel by breakout talent Alex Assan, high schooler Rotem feels herself growing apart from her friends in a million inexpressible ways. But an unexpected connection with another student makes her feel more herself than ever before. This incisive and stunningly gorgeous debut is perfect for fans of Bloom and

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.

What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
