deciding to put these 2 separate just for my blog. bc i'm still sobbing over how happy he's looking just to be playing up on stage. Rei might've gone to talk to Kaoru at the entrance, but even for Rei leaving who he's been wanting to play for this whole time, he's still up there on stage jamming away. He's not refined yet, so it's not perfect by any means. But it's the sign that he has potential. Rei noticed that potential, thus wishing for Kaoru's help to get Koga into a band -- into SOMETHING -- to give him some proper practice. Not what Koga wants, but with Rei going overseas, it's what he gets at the beginning. Rei might've been the one to call upon him to take his place on stage, Koga might have been looking out for some way to properly get Rei's attention, but his happiness to be up there playing transcends all else. He's up there on stage with KEITO, not REI, but he's still having the time of his life. I love that for him.

“Sometimes I wake at night And watch the rain fall through the street lights 'Cause you're standing still in my mind Fading out, waving goodbye
And I wonder where you are tonight If the one you're with was a compromise As we're walking lines in parallel That will never meet and it's just as well
Sometimes I'm overcome By every choice I couldn't outrun The junctions all disappear You can't double back to your summer years”
-Summer Years, Death Cab for Cutie (for Day 15: Free Day (Summer Theme) by @mitsukiki-festival)
I wasn’t planning on participating in Week 2 since the daily themes didn’t lend well to my playlist type songs, but this summer themed song works as a bonus track to my Week 1 Playlist!

My very last comic for The Nib! End of an era! Transcription below the cut. instagram / patreon / portfolio / etsy / my book / redbubble
The first event I went to with GENDER QUEER was in NYC in 2019 at the Javits Center.
So many of the people who came to my signing were librarians, and so many of them said the same thing: "I know exactly who I want to give this to!" Maia: "Thank you for helping readers find my book!" While working on the book, I was genuinely unsure if anyone outside of my family and close friends would read it. But the early support of librarians and two American Library Association awards helped sell two print runs in first year.
Since then, GENDER QUEER been published in 8 languages, with more on the way: Spanish, Czech, Polish, French, Italian, Norwegian, Portugese and Dutch.
It has also been the most banned book in the United States for the past two years. The American Library Association has tracked an astronomical increase in book challenges over the past few years. Most of these challenges are to books with diverse characters and LGBTQ themes. These challenges are coming unevenly across the US, in a pattern that mirrors the legislative attacks on LGBTQ people. The Brooklyn Public Library offered free eCards to anyone in the US aged 13-21, in an effort to make banned books more available to young readers. A teacher in Norman, Oklahoma gave her students the QR code for the free eCard and lost her job. Summer Boismeir is now working for the Brooklyn Public Library. Hoopla and Libby/Overdrive, apps used to access digital library books, are now banned in Mississippi to anyone under 18. Some libraries won’t allow anyone under 18 to get any kind of library card without parental permission. When librarians in Jamestown, Michigan refused to remove GENDER QUEER and several other books, the citizens of the town voted down the library’s funding in the fall 2022 election. Without funding, the library is due to close in mid-2024. My first event since covid hit was the American Library Association conference in June 2022 in Washington, DC. Once again, the librarians in my signing line all had similar stories for me: “Your book was challenged in our district" "It was returned to the shelf!" "It was removed from the shelf..." "It was moved to the adult section."
Over and over I said: "Thank you. Thank you for working so hard to keep my book in your library. I’m sorry you had to defend it, but thank you for trying, even if it didn't work." We are at a crossroads of freedom of speech and censorship. The future of libraries, both publicly funded and in schools, are at stake. This is massively impacting the daily lives of librarians, teachers, students, booksellers, and authors around the country. In May 2023, I read an article from the Washington Post analyzing nearly 1000 of the book challenges from the 2021-2022 school year. I was literally on route to a festival to talk about book bans when I read a startling statistic. 60% of the 1000 book challenges were submitted by just 11 people. One man alone was responsible for 92 challenges. These 11 people seem to have made submitting copy-cat book challenges their full-time hobby and their opinions are having an outsized ripple effect across the nation. WE NEED TO MAKE THE VOICES SUPPORTING DIVERSE BOOKS AND OPPOSING BOOK BANS EVEN LOUDER. If you are able too, show up for your library and school board meetings when book challenges are debated. Send supportive comments and emails about the Pride book display and Drag Queen story hours. If you see a display you like– for Banned Book Week, AAPI Month, Black History Month, Disability Awareness Month, Jewish holidays, Trans Day of Remembrance– compliment a librarian! Make sure they feel the love stronger than the hate <3

Song Review: John Mayer Trio - “They Love Each Other” (Live, Sept. 23, 2023)
He may have left Dead & Company, but John Mayer hasn’t left the Grateful Dead songbook behind.
Appearing at the Crossroads Guitar Festival with his eponymous trio, Mayer on Sept. 23 performed “They Love Each Other” in his own style.
With drummer Steve Jordon providing the glue and bassist Pino Palladino playing co-leads with Mayer’s guitar, the former Company man easily shifted the Dead song to his live repertoire.
The problem, as always, is Mayer’s vocal delivery, which veers from over-pronounced whining to off-key high notes. Dude sings as poorly as he plays magnificently. And his singing detracts mightily from his playing.
Grade card: John Mayer Trio - “They Love Each Other” (Live - 9/23/23) - B-

I wanted to find one of my Repayment festival rambles & just reblog it bc that's gonna be part of my brain all day. The other part is successfully dying over the fact that Jun briefly put his foot down at Hiyori only to revoke it moments later. LIKE JUN PLS. I get it, it's all for Nagisa but still lol. He changed his voice so quickly.
But anyways, Koga's growth is always so immense to me. The Repayment Festival was released so early in ! era's time, but it was that ending growth after everything that Koga needed. Rei's always been there to help him grow, even while trying to take a backseat in a lot of instances ( only to still help in the end ), but Koga never once asked for any other help out of Rei. Only that first time to teach him how to play guitar. Like that's the only thing Koga asked. Even the formation of UNDEAD wasn't entirely Koga asking. A little, yeah.
But even during that ! era year, even with both of their ways of attempting to cope with everything that went down that year before, there's been stability between them because Koga never planned to leave Rei's side & Rei knew Koga would always be there even if he tried before to push Koga away. The Repayment Festival tied everything together & brought emotions properly to the surface. Even if Rei hadn't planned to disband UNDEAD & leave Koga to begin with. But it gave Koga another proper push. Also upsetting him a bit by bringing DEADMANZ back.
Anyways, I can talk about the Repayment Festival a lot. Lives in my brain rent free.
