Body, Soul, and Comics: Graphic Religion and Graphic Medicine Graphic Religion and Graphic Medicine

Don't wanna give Amazon your money? I don't blame you!
But if you still want to get a copy of my BODY, SOUL, AND COMICS book, use this link for Bookshop -- where a portion of the price will go to support the #GraphicMedicine International Collective (GMIC): bit.ly/BSC-GMIC

I know better than to trust the Amazon algorithm or to take too much credit for it...

But, wow, BODY, SOUL, AND COMICS just shot up the charts in three big categories this week. Thank you to everyone who's buying it in advance of the 5/15 release!

Let’s not forget that the U.S. President threatened genocide yesterday and violence against civilians on Easter.

Maintain your outrage. Take breaks from it for your own health, but do not lose it.

Even if he doesn’t drop a single bomb, the threat itself is violence.

Iranians are walking around terrified today. It’s emotional warfare. I can’t imagine many things more cruel than giving someone a countdown clock to their death.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

I’m afraid to Google this, so can someone inform me:
What statements has JK Rowling made about people AFAB who either identify as trans men or nonbinary? (I’m fully aware of her stance on trans women.)

Inspired by K. Woodman-Maynard's work in Minneapolis, I got to collaborate with @pazplays.bsky.social on this short comic about the horrible ICE detention center right near the bustling Burlington Mall here in a Massachusetts.
