Hey phone, you don't need to send me alerts about @ToddRokitaIN. I already know he's a trash human who rejoices when queer and trans folks kids hurt.

2024 resolutions 🐈🐈💤

[Goblin Market Manga & Curiosities @GoblinMkt]

Hit us with your new years resolutions

@CaelanConrad I just opened a queer focused manga, game & craft store in Chicago. We opened our event space w/ a very gay Regency tea party, cohosted by a queer-run larp company.

Queer spaces that don't revolve around alcohol exist but we don't have bar-scale ad budgets. Folks gotta find us!

The transphobia, antisemitism, and Islamophobia on Threads is off the charts, and it's being pushed to people who aren't even on on Threads

A group in Goblin Market are full on reading Suburban Consumption of the Monstrous and losing their minds. "I'm buying this, but I don't understand how it's a game that you play with people." "Who hurt the writers?" 🤣 @sadiabies @bananachangames

Bittersweet day...

@GoblinMkt has been open for 3 weeks, and I haven't had much time to reflect on the old place. When I gave my notice at @gmartcomics at the beginning of March, I was nervous as hell. Still am, tbh

But I'm very happy to be building something new and exciting!

Check out our hand carved logo by Belinda Moffit (art.bmoff)!

We love all the details on our mascot, Rosie! You'll see more of Rosie soon, but this is their first official debut. 🦉💖

When I was scouting locations for Goblin Market, I put together a map of comic shops, anime shops, game stores, and game cafes in Chicagoland. Maybe it will be useful to someone here?

Not bad for someone who Died Suddenly! Looks like a bunch of others featured in the propaganda film are also alive and well. 😂

A story in 4 parts:

- RW politicians/influencers stoke fear about LGBTQ people, calling us groomers/pedophiles

- News agencies launder the talking points, "legitimizing" fear

- Someone believes them; decides to kill us

- RW politician feigns empathy while we're left to grieve

Waking up to news of another mass shooting targeting trans and queer people on Trans Day of Remembrance. Outrage, heartbreak, and sorrow don’t begin to describe it.

May the victims rest in power.

I cannot forgive those who spread hate and led us here.

@WednesdayComix @DarkHorseComics @gmartcomics Resident Alien is one of the only reasons I have a Peacock subscription, and the comic is great too
