A photo of #AlisonBechdel from tonight’s reading in San Francisco. She read from her newest comic book, Spent, while highlighting the importance of community and coming together. She ended her presentation by promoting upcoming protests and community events like https://indivisible.org/ & https://sunday.earth/

Well, #Alberta's #Banning #Library #Books.

Sorry, "they're creating province wide standards to ensure age appropriate of library material after dozens of books containing explicit sexual content were found in #Calgary and #Edmonton #Schools.

What are the "sexually explicit books" in question? Four #GraphicNovels about young people "discovering their sexual identity."

Covers for three of four graphic novels found in Edmonton and Calgary schools that dealt with adults "discovering their sexual identity." The four graphic novels have become a casus belli for the Alberta government to begin banning books in public school libraries.

My partner and I went to Cambridge last night to see Alison Bechdel speak at the Brattle and do a reading from her new book.

She's obviously funny and insightful on paper, but even after the reading (and an author doing a reading of her graphic novel is an interesting thing in general), she spoke directly to the audience which was quite wonderful. She mentioned she was such an introvert that she was going to go back to her hotel afterwards and pass out, which, yeah, I get it. But she was brilliant.

It was a sold out, and pretty queer crowd. I don't think I understood when I came out how different being in a crowd versus being in a _queer_ crowd would affect me.

I'm also an introvert. Crowds absolutely exhaust me. But being in a queer crowd - I still leave tired, but also... fed.

But the cover lies! it’s not “full color throughout”, it’s all graytones. I’m not complaining, just setting the record straight…#dtwof #lpmtwof #alisonBechdel #dykesToWatchOutFor #lesbian #peta

This came in the mail already and I plunged right in! I’m so #grateful to have received this before its publication date (May 20, 2025). It’s absolutely delicious! Thanks #Goodreads #giveaway and #HarperCollins and #MarinerBooks! #alisonBechdel #spent

Photo of the book, cover illustration is a bright blue background with cartoon drawing of Alison Bechdel and Holly Rae Taylor in the style of American Gothic, with Alison as the man and Hol as the wife. There are two sticker-looking callouts, the first reads, “finished book full-color throughout” and the second reads “uncorrected proof not for sale”

#AlisonBechdel has a new book coming out: “Spent: A Comic Novel.” She is doing an event for it at City Arts and Lectures in #SanFrancisco May 27.

Two panels from Catwoman: Lonely City by Cliff Chiang. A man and woman in their 50's in bed. The woman says "What does Orpheus mean to you?" The man replies "Love. Loss. Bargaining"

Today in Writing History September 10, 1960: Alison Bechdel, American author and illustrator was born. She is most famous for her “Dykes to Watch Out For,” comic strip. And for her “Bechdel Test,” originally intended as a joke in one of her comics, but which has since become a routine metric used by critics as an indicator for the active presence of women in a film.
