Our latest Kickstarter has LAUNCHED! “As The Crow Flies” by Melanie Gillman is now on Kickstarter!
Camp Three Peaks is a rustic, Christian summer retreat for teenage girls! A week of hiking, adventure, and communing with the God of its 19th-century founders… a God that doesn’t traditionally number people like 13-year-old Charlie Lamonte among His (Her? Their? Its?) flock.
The only black camper in the group, and queer besides, she struggles to reconcile the innocent intent of the trip with the blinkered obliviousness of those determined to keep the Three Peaks tradition going. As the journey wears on and the rhetoric wears thin, Charlie can’t help but poke holes in the pious disregard this storied sanctuary has for outsiders like herself—and her fellow camper, Sydney.
AtCF creator Melanie Gillman is Eisner, Slate Cartoonist Studio Prize and Autostraddle Award-nominated, and can be found on tumblr at @pigeonbits. Please support them and Iron Circus by backing the project, reblogging this post, and spreading the work about their work! We have 30 days to make goal, and a long way to go!
Thanks, everybody!

Let me just say. If I ever need rsi treatment for my hands I am definitely asking Mx. Gillman who they got on call, because HOLY SHIT your colored pencil skills amaze me, and ATCF is amazing too.
I love everything about this but I have to say that “A ritualistic exchange of jewelry and oaths” made me laugh so hard because I just imagine that’s how Rei avoids saying she has deigned to MARRY
“So, Mina and i have decided to…participate in a ritualistic exchange of jewelry and oaths.”
Michiru just looks at her, “Do you mean to suggest you are getting married, or forming a coven, or am I meant to simply enjoy the ambiguity of the situation?”
“WE’RE SIMPLY SOLEMNIFYING A LEGAL ARRANGEMENT WHEREBY–”
“Rei, you don’t have any call to explain yourself to me, I know how little you care for such socially-enforced frippery, that’s why I’ve declined to offer the use of my family’s yacht and seaside cottage.” She looks over her cup of tea. “I know it would practically be an insult to your beliefs.”
Rei frowns. “I mean, I didn’t say–I think using the resources of the wealthy–Michiru, that ‘cottage’ has 8 bedrooms and a billiard room”
“Hm.”
“Really it’s only right that we use the resources of the bourgeois to provide entertainment for the underclasses.”
“Yes, very revolutionary. I believe we have napkins in several colors, as well, for the place settings of the proletariat.”
I found this looking for something else and laughed so hard at my own joke I’m a nerd
It’s only appropriate that we listen to the first opening of the X-Men 1990 animated series… In Japanese.
Everyone!
CRY TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOON
Oh god I haven’t seen this in forever. I’D FORGOTTEN HOW TERRIBLE IT IS
Not only the unbelievably overdramatic theme song, BUT WHY THE FUCK DOES CABLE KEEP SHOWING UP DID HE EVEN APPEAR IN THE SERIES BEYOND THE FIRST SEASON GENOSHA STORYLINE
But
there’s one teeny problem: It turns out you don’t need the machine.
Bloomberg reports that recently, “some investors were surprised to
discover a much cheaper alternative: You can squeeze the Juicero bags with your bare hands.” Hand-squeezing the bags for 90 seconds, they found, rendered almost as much juice as using the $400 machine for two minutes.
please watch this video, it is mind boggling
“the press needs to be connected to wi-fi to make juice” this is literally indistinguishable from a parody of the app economy
