I don’t have much time today (it was bound to happen) but I can still throw something out there as part of the reading list. We’re almost there. Tomorrow is Human Rights Day. Chlorine Gardens by Keiler Roberts Dealing with pregnancy, child-rearing, art-making, mental illness, and an MS diagnosis, the parts of Chlorine Gardens’ sum […]
On October, 10th – International Mental Health Day – I had the chance of writing how unsafe and unhealthy the construction industry can be. I skimmed again on the surface of this topic on November, 25th – International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women – as I entered the committment of publishing a daily […]
After Lighter than my Shadow, and as I feel that body shaming is one of the forms of violence and abuse we often overlook, on today’s reading list I have another graphic novel about eating disorders and anorexia. Ink in Water: An Illustrated Memoir (Or, How I Kicked Anorexia’s Ass and Embraced Body Positivity) By […]
As the Crow Flies by Melanie Gilman Melanie Gillman’s webcomic about a queer, black teenager who finds herself stranded in a dangerous and unfamiliar place: an all-white Christian youth backpacking camp.

It’s December 5th and I know I should be remembering something, but I can’t remember what. I probably forgot someone’s birthday and if you’re reading this… sorry, I think. Anyway, I continue with my reading list of graphic novels about gender biases and struggles, gender-based violence, integration and diversity. It’s a list that started on November 25th and […]

It’s December (can you believe it?) And I’m struggling with my committment of providing you with a little something every day, going from November 25th to December 10th, from the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women to Human Rights Day. I continue with my reading list of comic books by artists talking about gender […]
Happy 1st day of December, darlings. I continue with my reading list of comic books by artists talking about gender biases, integration and diversity. Today on the reading list… Passing for Human by Liana Finck This book really struck a chord, with me, because one of the things I’ve been struggling in the latest years is, increibly enough […]
I continue along the line of what is becoming a reading list on graphic novels around the subject of diversity, gender-based violence and integration in general. Today… The Hookah Girl and Other True Stories by Marguerite Dabaie In this current political climate, being a Palestinian is a hazard. However, there are common grounds where East meets […]

Today on my reading list… […]
