Live NOW: National Parks Service artist panel for VOTES FOR WOMEN, the comics anthology!
National Parks Service artist panel for VOTES FOR WOMEN, the comics anthology!
Hosted by the Women's Rights National Historical Park, it includes Ally Shwed (editor of the book and frequent contributor to The Nib), myself, and other artist/writers :)
Tune in to this LIVE PANEL to hear us discuss our artmaking process, stories, history, and inspiration, as well as . . . women's rights!
Link to YouTube below, or go to the Women's Rights National Historical Park Facebook page!
One hundred years ago, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. It officially established that the right of citizens to vote "shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." But the road to voting equality was long and brutal; and even after the amendment was enacted, many still struggled for access to the ballot. The latest comics anthology from Little Red Bird explores the history of woman suffrage and examines the many complex narratives that built the movement.
Through 200+ pages of comics and illustrations created by 32 womxn artists, Votes for Women: The Battle for the 19th Amendment reflects on the fight for female suffrage. The publisher states "we celebrate the hard-won victories; we acknowledge the harsh realities; and we continue to fight the battle for gender equality still being waged."
During our Equality Weekend event, a panel of artists will discuss this amazing project and the history it explores, and what it is like to be a womxn comic artist in a male-dominated field.

PCHH - In 'Star Trek: Lower Decks' Jokes Are The Final Frontier
In 'Star Trek: Lower Decks' Jokes Are The Final Frontier
Ensign Sam Rutherford (Eugene Cordero), Ensign D'Vana Tendi (Noel Wells), Ensign Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome), and Ensign Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid) in the new CBS All Access animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks.
The mega-franchise Star Trek has produced a slew of movies and ten different TV series — the latest of which is a brand-new animated comedy called Star Trek: Lower Decks. The show was created by Mike McMahan, who worked on Rick And Morty, and it tells the story of some of the least powerful officers on Starfleet's least important starship, the U.S.S. Cerritos. In Star Trek: Lower Decks, we get a group of young oddballs and hotshot senior officers, with a cast that includes Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Noel Wells, Eugene Cordero, Dawnn Lewis, and Jerry O'Connell. And, because it's animated, we also get epic battles, space zombies, and spectacular mass destruction.
Show Notes:
- Read Glen's review of Star Trek: Lower Decks
- Read Chris' reviews of Star Trek: Beyond and Star Trek Into Darkness
Note: We will be covering Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra in two separate upcoming episodes — and we want your questions about each series! If you have a question, email us a voice memo at pchh@npr.org.
The audio was produced and edited by Mike Katzif and Jessica Reedy.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Virtual Delegate"
From DC's anarchist cartoonist, Mike Flugennock -
"Virtual Delegate"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3052
At a shoddy-ass online shindig called the Democratic Convention, where they're shitting all over the Left by publicly rehabilitating Colin Powell and all other manner of neocon crazies and war criminals, they add the extra kick in the nuts of presenting a rank butchery of one of the most iconic protest songs of all time — with the able assistance of its composer himself. This clumsily performative shit sandwich breaks the Cringe-O-Meter handily, and will be the William Shatner
Doing "Rocket Man" Footage of this era.
