And so it is Christmas, everyone! Here in Sweden, we celebrate on Christmas Eve, which means I have spent today eating, drinking and being utterly spoiled by my family who have put me a good bit closer to my budgetary goals for going to New Zealand next year. In the inevitable post-Christmas-lunch lull when everyone (but me, who is always already Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 24 – Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed
Holy shit, it’s the day before Xmas. Today I’m continuing my brief Swedish streak by adventboosting lesbian half-Lithuanian, half-Syrian Swedish rapper Silvana Imam. Now I’ll be honest: I hesitated about including her in AdventBoost because she’s a fucking superstar who doesn’t need signal boosting from small-time bloggers like me. Even so, I figure that a lot of the non-Swedes who Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 23 – Silvana Imam
Today I’m adventboosting a fellow Swede! I’ll be honest: I don’t know/follow a ton of Swedish creatives. I don’t know why that is, probably mostly a consequence of how dominant the Anglosphere tends to be on the social media sites I use. But that’s a topic for another day, perhaps.. Today I’m boosting Antonius M. Hogebrandt, a speculative fiction writer Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 22 – Antonius M. Hogebrandt
I have tabletop rpgs on the brain right now. I recently GMed D&D for the first time, am preparing to do it for the second time in a couple of weeks and casually dreaming of setting up a streamed game of some kind in the spring, if I can. I’m actually having some trouble focusing on my written fiction because Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 21 – Nadja Otikor aka Tristarae
More #AdventBoost! More webcomics! More posting when it’s late and I can barely make sentences! Today you should all check out Witchy by Ariel Ries. Witchy is a comic about witches! Yay! Can’t have enough of those! It takes place in a world where the length of a person’s hair is considered a measure of their magical prowess. The worldbuilding Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 20 – Witchy by Ariel Ries
Hey guys! I almost forgot to #Adventboost today because I seem to have completely switched into vacation mode. But I remembered! Yay! Today I wanna tell you about Griefer Belt, a webcomic that I found a while back via a link on another webcomic, Rock and Riot (which I posted about earlier in the month). It’s about queer criminals! Illegal organ-trade! Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 19 – Griefer Belt by Kali/Kales
I’ve got something a bit different for you today: a web series! A polyamory-themed web series, at that! Compersion by Enchant TV is a web series about a monogamous couple that decide to open their marriage and try polyamory. You can watch it on YouTube over here. There’s one season of 13 episodes out so far, and they’re about 10-15 Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 18 – Compersion by Enchant TV
Today’s adventboost isn’t about any particular product, but rather a person. Kayla Whaley is a queer, disabled essayist and co-editor of Disability in Kidlit, a website which, unsurprisingly, is focused on disability in children’s literature. I first started following Kayla on Twitter a while back after someone re-tweeted a thread (can’t remember which one) of hers into my feed. Since Continue reading #Adventboost Day 17 – Kayla Whaley
Tonight I am a happy camper. Except for some emails and small things I can do from home, I am now off work for the next few weeks. It’s going to be lovely! I plan to do a ton of reading and writing. Tonight I bring you another webcomic boost: M.F.K. by Nilah Magruder! M.F.K. is a super cool comic Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 16 – M.F.K. by Nilah Magruder
Short post today, lovelies, because my bed and a early work meeting beckons. Let’s do it! I discovered Trans Girl Next Door quite a while ago (might even have been a year or two, I can’t recall) and somehow misplaced the link (or possibly forgot to add it to my RSS app even though I meant to). Recently, I happened across Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 15 – Kylie Wu of Trans Girl Next Door
