WHOA I’m playing LA the night my album drops 🎉💥🎊 http://www.thesatellitela.com/event/942743-julia-nunes-los-angeles/
The photo on your cover or hanging above your article comes next. Go for broke here. Images of hairy legs in high heels or emerging from tutus are classics you can’t go wrong with, like Strauss’ Blue Danube waltz or light summery pastas with basil and garlic. The goal is to suggest that trans women must look like comical parodies of womanhood, like clueless men.
I’m playing the satellite in LA Friday night and I want you to come
There will be feelings and light up shoes
I’ve said it time and time again, but representation matters, both in the comics themselves and in the people who make them. So when comics feature diverse, complicated and fascinating female characters who we want to root for and love, and who we can see ourselves in, it helps us to reach for our dreams and see ourselves as the heroes of our own stories. Perhaps more importantly, representation behind the scenes matters, so when we celebrate the accomplishments of the women and non-binary folks who are making great comics, we’re saying thank you, not only for sharing your art and your stories with us, but also for giving us, to borrow a phrase from Laverne Cox, possibility models and for showing us that comics aren’t just a boys’ club, or a straight person’s club, or a white person’s club, or a cis person’s club. That’s what these awards are — a deep and profound thank you to all of the people who make us glad that we didn’t listen when we were told that girls don’t read comics.
