Public comment on US passport form changes related to trans

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

A really great way to help queer and trans creators is to be an advocate for their work. Creators with financial and career support have more options and better tools to take care of themselves during an awful time.

Now is an especially fantastic time to be an obnoxiously loud supporter of art by trans and queer creators. Particularly the art that doesn’t bend over backwards to make itself as “safe” and palatable as possible for a “mainstream” audience.

There is an INTERACTIVE choose-your-own-path STAR TREK LOWER DECKS comic out now at a bookstore near you, and it's funny AND heartfelt AND will blow your mind AND ALSO make you feel... emotions?? Sounds wild but that's where we are right now!!

I saw the Sunset Boulevard revival last weekend and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Absolutely perfect show for me personally— musical theater guy AND film guy — to watch. I hardly knew anything going in and it FLOORED me.

I had to get off tiktok for [static noises] reasons but that does mean I was entirely unaware of the New Jersey Drone Situation until this morning.

I think I simply won’t ever add my job titles to my bio here I think maybe that was a step in the wrong direction over on Twitter. This isn’t work this is inconsistently typing nonsense into a tiny window.

I love MICE with all my heart but it’s so hot in the building that I’m currently standing outside in a tee shirt to intentionally blast myself with winter air, storing it for strength and endurance

A simplified outline drawing of a short person with circles for hands standing in a wide stance. Their face is just two vertical dashes and a long line in a blank expression. They are sweating profusely, which combined with their posing makes them look very nervous

Avatar: The Last Airbender Already Has the Perfect Prequel That Nobody Wants to Talk About A comic prequel explores Zuko's tragic origin.

ScreenRant did a cool write up about the Zuko manga I co-wrote w/ @benwilgus.bsky.social that was drawn by @spacecoyotl.bsky.social The article get the credits wrong but otherwise it’s neat that people are still discovering this Avatar: The Last Airbender oddity. screenrant.com/avatar-the-l...

Sometimes I worry I’m losing touch with my cartoonist roots, but I just now texted a friend to say “clouds are the trees of the sky” so maybe I’m fine actually.
