ayellowbirds:Alright, so.I’ve been on this site a decade. A lot happened during that time, including coming out publicly as a trans woman. I’ve also talked a lot about comics, and how meaningful they can be, superhero comics especially. Galaxy: The Prettiest Star is one such comic; the dedication says it all:For the girl who needed this book ages ago, and couldn’t find it.This book came out today, May 17, 2022. It’s full of transness, transosity, transage… whatever the adjective form is. It’s overt and coded, and it’s wonderful. It’s an origin story, it’s a book about a superheroine rescuing herself, it’s a fable and wish fulfillment and I’m going to read it over and over. I can squeal later about all the little community and trans culture in-jokes that sneak into it, but the big thing I want to do right now is live up to the dedication.Here’s the deal:I’m going to pay for five copies of this book. It’s $15.29 USD on Amazon right now, $12.99 digital. I’m in a situation right now where I can afford it: what I need to know is, who can’t.If you’re someone who needs this book or know someone who does, but can’t afford it right now… Let me know. I can send the funds via PayPal, or Ko-Fi. Twenty bucks USD. If it’s not safe to get a print copy where you are right now, I’ll send the money for the digital edition. Just promise me you’ll use it to get a copy of this book; if there’s leftover funds from that, spend it however you want.I’ll do this for up to five people. Reblog this and comment that you want a copy, send me an Ask, message me on Twitter at ayellowbirds, however works for you. I’ll wait 48 hours from now (round about 7:00PM ET, 11:00PM GMT on May 17, 2022; end time 7:00PM ET, 11:00PM GMT on May 19). if I get more than five people, I’ll choose randomly with a number generator. -- source link
