Some cheerful posting from me this week on the ol blog! #zines #archives #CommunityArchives #lgbtArchives

Graduate Comics Organization Invited Speaker! I meant to write about this this weekend, but I've been laid out sick since it happened, barely managing to function long enough for work each day. So a bit late, but no less heartfelt. Anyway, I am excited to share that I was invited to sit on a panel at UF's Graduate Comics Organization's annual Symposium on Saturday, on the topic of "Preserving and Accessing Zines".

Wrote about my experiences at UF's Graduate Comics Organization Symposium talking about #zines and #CommunityArchives this weekend with the QZAP founders. Wonderful time!
