Yikes . . . you really build up a pile of good stuff after a while, even (especially) at university. They're beginning to burst out of my bookmarks . . . so it's time to share them!
Princess Princess - Basically one of the CUTEST lesbian comics you can find out there. Not only is it adorable, but it's also fun - it's short, but the plot is fantastic. Also, character development! You can read this in probably a half hour, so go read it! Now! Do it!
#SupportWNDB LGBTQIA+ Chat - Basically, a big chat with a bunch of LGBT+ authors about the writing industry and LGBT+ issues within it. Great talk, really. If you are an aspiring author like me who wants to include diversity into your work, especially of this variety - check this out! Might help give you some ideas, right?
Ambivalently Yours: Big in Japan - The primary point of this post actually stems from feminism and sexism, particularly as viewed by an outsider in Japan. It's an interesting post - it starts with the perception of Japanese fashion and leads into a group of men taking advantage of the customs of the country, and then into a discussion of empathy. But, don't take my word for it!
Pub Hub: Considerate Craft: Pitching Characters - A bunch of clear-cut advice when you're pitching a story about diverse characters. If I had to sum it up: just write a pitch like you usually would, and let the characters speak for themselves! Also, jokes. Stay away from the senseless jokes . . .
Anyways, I am not a publisher and I do not have the words to say this stuff any better, so go check this out!
The Militant Baker: How To Kick Ass on a Daily Basis - The Militant Baker is a pretty cool blog, which continues the trend these days about radical self-love, especially body love. How to Kick Ass on a Daily Basis is a great article to help get you on the way to loving yourself, and it's a great pick me up, too. Also: in case you're having a BAD day, check out this for all of your "shitty brain days"! It really helps!
O Human Star - Oh my gosh, guys - I think I'm in love. It's not hard to get me to fall in love with an LGBT story (because there are so few out there compared to other mainstream stories), but O Human Star is absolutely WONDERFUL. To sum it up very concisely: it's about robots, reincarnation, and a love story that struggles to be reborn. Go read it! Now!
The Art Assignment - I've mentioned this before, but it bears repeating. The Art Assignment is a show hosted primarily by Sarah Urist Green that goes into contemporary artists' studios and asks them about their work. Afterwords, the artist gives the audience an assignment, anything from "find a friend, find the exact middle point between you two, and meet there", to "crochet a giant rug out of your old clothes". It's an awesome show, and the results have been spectacular; check out the Art Assignment's secondary tumblr to see some of the results!
How long did it take me to write this Titled: Title post? More than a month. But these links, of course, are TIMELESS, and if it's a comic, I always link to the first page. So go! Explore! Crawl into the lovely world of the internet (beware, though: there be trolls out there).
