Ik lees graag graphic novels en trakteerde mezelf op "Spinning" van Tillie Walden. Oorspronkelijk voor een jonger publiek. Walden kreeg er de Eisner Award voor, en terecht :)
In de VS staat het op de lijst van banned books - boeken met LGBTQIA+ thema’s, verhalen van POC’s of politieke onderwerpen, juist de verhalen die andere perspectieven laten zien.
Dus: lees ze.
Read banned books.

Oh, and: A special shout-out to Queerbrarian @fuzzyleapfrog for being one of hopefully many pillars-to-be that carry this exciting new transatlantic bridge 🙌 Thank you, Fuzzy!
Nobody changes the world through office chit-chat. Right? 👀
Well, a friendly water cooler chat between UVic Libraries' Transgender Archives Metadata Librarian Michael Radmacher and Kula's first International Visiting Fellow @Lambo, head of the @tibosl at @tibhannover, eventually led to a transatlantic connection with the Queerbrarians — a European network of LGBTQIA+ library professionals.
The result: a growing international network of Queer & Trans+ colleagues who support each other's work to put LGBTQIA+ communities' voices at the center of how their histories are preserved and shared.
