Today I want to tell y’all about Sicangu Lakota rapper Frank Waln. He has won three Native American Music Awards, several other awards and written on indigineity and decolonization for a number of publications. I’ll be honest; I feel a bit silly “boosting” someone so accomplished on my tiny little blog, but at the same time I know even accomplished Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 12 – Frank Waln
Yeah, another 2-in-1 post. Yesterday I was dungeon master for a game of D&D for the first time. It was an absolute blast but I was so exhausted afterward I literally couldn’t form coherent sentences. So a double post today it is! Today I want to tell you about two very cool book blogs. I know reviewers aren’t commonly counted Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 10 and 11 – 2-in-1 of Book Reviewers!
Last night, I came home from my office’s Christmas dinner at midnight, somewhat drunk. I opted to not blog and instead go to bed, so tonight I have a 2-in-1 post for you: two awesome, but very different, webcomics. Agents of the Realm by Mildred Louis is a really fun, modern take on the magic girl genre. I only recently discovered Continue reading #Adventboost Day 8 and 9 – Webcomic 2-in-1!
It’s time for another webcomic boost, guys! Today I want to tell you about Monster Pop! Look at that art style! How cute is that!? I’ll be honest; the art style was the only reason I started reading this comic when I first joined Tapastic. But it was a good choice because it’s got a great character gallery and good Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 7 – Monster Pop! by Maya Kern
Hi guys! I am so tired tonight. Like, I’m falling asleep. It had been a long day. Onward! This is a book. It is called There WIll Be Phlogiston, and is part of a series but functions as a stand-alone. It is written by a queer writer named Alexis Hall. It has a happy triad in it and that makes me happy. The Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 6 – There Will Be Phlogiston by Alexis Hall
Today I have something a bit different for #Adventboost. Monsterhearts is a tabletop RPG. Ever wanted to pretend you were Buffy? Or the MC in a YA paranormal romance novel? Then this is the RPG for you! To save us all from my awful pitching skills, here’s the official description from the game’s second edition’s Kickstarter page: By the time they Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 5 – Monsterhearts!
Today is a second Sunday of advent and I have an extra special boost for you all. Now obviously, I only rec things I like, but this one is a special favorite! It is hands down the best book I’ve read this year: Poison Kiss by Ana Mardoll. Poison Kiss is a fantasy (poly) romance novel about Rose, a young woman who Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 4 – Poison Kiss by Ana Mardoll
Another #Adventboost, another webcomic. I’ll be honest: there’s probably gonna be a lot of webcomics in this boost series. This has been such a weird year, I feel like most my media consumption has been webcomics and RPG streams. Not much book-reading, to be honest. Anyway! Today I want to tell you about Rock and Riot by Chelsey Furedi. Tripped over this Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 3 – Rock and Riot by Chelsey Furedi
Hi guys, and welcome to day 2 of #Adventboost! Today I want to point you all in the direction of the awesome webcomic The Substitutes by Myisha Haynes. I tripped over this gem by accident recently, and it was one of those moments where I read a couple of pages and then was stuck and had to keep reading, only to discover Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 2 – The Substitutes by Myisha Haynes
Yesterday NaNoWriMo finished, so today I am doing what any sensible writer would do… rushing headlong into another project! Starting today, and up until Christmas Eve, I will be posting daily on the blog to signal boost a marginalized creative person (or a project by such a person). I call it… #Adventboost! A word of warning: this has been a Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 1 – Capricious
