Things were bad when I wrote this essay and things are worse now. But my mom said, unlike most of my writing, there was a sense of hope in this essay. Hope that representation, and the world, could and would improve.

Our Pride Throwback for the month of June wouldn't feel complete if we didn't bring back last year's "As Above, So Below", @thriftbirds' remarkable discussion of the trans characters of The Sandman: "A Game of You".

OH NO MY FIRST EPISODE OF @CerebroCast IN A WHILE WITH PERSONAL HERO @MEAKOOPA MENTIONED THE HALIFAX EXPLOSION SO I WENT, "Cool!" AND THEN *WHAMMED* WITH THE TOO REAL TALK OF BEING A TRAUMATIZED QUEER WRITER AND THE URGE TO CREATE ART ABOUT IT IN A MOMENT OF 'YAY, HAPPY ENDINGS'
