"...next crisis?"

2026 - 2025 - 2024 - 2023

in spite of it all, happy 2026 pride.

you can download current and past hi-res versions of these over at my ko-fi (ok to print for personal use): https://ko-fi.com/mxmorgan/shop/freedownloads

you can also snag shirts here which go to various orgs: https://mxmorgan.threadless.com/collections/pride

these get reposted a whole lot from here to reddit to twitter to tiktok and on and on, and i don't personally care whether or not i'm credited. i made these for everyone to use, enjoy, and find meaning in them. i appreciate folks who do credit me, but if able, please at least link to the threadless shop in the previous post - folks can get an official shirt where 90% of earnings go to trans led orgs focused on mental health (which is an important matter in general, but very personal to me) and not from a scam bot site selling AI-churned maga garbage where you probably won't get one anyway. i also suggest downloading the files from my ko-fi - they are free/PWYW and you can use them to make your own shirt, patch, embroidery project, whatever. tips are always nice, cuz i do like a pizza now and then, but never required for download.

Bitch before enriched flour, neural tube defects like spina bifida were far more common. Even now, spina bifida clinicians and researchers are begging to have salt and maize fortified to reach groups that don’t use as much flour. Before iodized salt, the United States had a fucking GOITER BELT. Eleven years after the introduction of fluoridated water, a city in Michigan found the rate of dental caries among school children dropped a staggering 60%— in an era where tooth decay regularly fucking killed people

I’m literally not even going to start on vaccines, which are among the most successful and robustly studied public health measures in world history

...Have to snicker a little when, in order to fit the fifth member of the core marriage into the shot, I have to stick him half a mile away...

Anyway. This is just to let everybody know that for Pride Month of 2026, the Ebooks Direct Pride Package has been really ridiculously discounted.

...From the product page:

This package contains all our Middle Kingdoms material—some of the first LGBTQ-representing epic fantasy in the 20th-century fantasy field, now continuing into the 21st. It also contains the matter-of-fact exit from the (contextual) closet of two of the best-loved characters in the Young Wizards universe—Advisory wizards Tom Swale and Carl Romeo, on their first canonically-"out" venture as a couple. The main part of the collection spans more than forty years, from the publication of Diane Duane's two-time Astounding Award finalist The Door Into Fire, first published in 1979, through its main-sequence sequels (both also Gaylaxic Spectrum Awards Hall of Fame winners) The Door Into Shadow and The Door Into Sunset, to 2018's and 2019's interstitial Tales of the Five novels, The Levin-Gad and The Landlady. The collection also includes such otherwise hard to find short works as Lior and the Sea and the two current volumes of the "Sirronde's World" group, The Span and Parting Gifts.* And finally, it also includes the Middle Kingdoms novelette Overdue (Tales of the Middle Kingdoms #2), and the short Young Wizards work Owl Be Home For Christmas.

All that for $19.99? Seriously, I need my head felt. So please go validate my mental state by buying the package. ...And happy Pride!

(Meanwhile, a project for the course of the month is to put all the queer, bi, and/or ace characters in my various series into that shot. That bridge should be a little more crowded by the time I'm done...) 😏

Looking at those ears, I'm starting to think Wonton's daddy must've been a Fennec Fox. Did you know he's still available for adoption? True story! Read his description below and email Forgotten Felines at [email protected] to inquire, or fill out an application at https://tinyurl.com/ffhsv

WONTON (male, DOB 2-26-26) is the SWEETEST little guy who has an instant purr and will sit in your lap to be petted for a good long cuddle. He doesn't mind being kissed - in fact, he's one laid-back dude who doesn't mind being kissed a LOT. But don't mistake his mild manner for weakness - he might be the smallest of his litter, but he doesn't mind leaping on the nearest sibling to tussle, and he holds his own very well. He loves it when you toss toys for him, will chase a ping pong ball, enjoys batting rattly mice around, and will bunny-kick a stuffed toy until it begs for mercy. He especially likes feather teasers, and if you wave for one he will jump higher than you'd ever expect. He gets along great with other cats and would be fine with cat-friendly dogs. He needs to be in a home with another cat to play (and cuddle) with. If you're looking for a pair, his siblings Pierogi and Tortellini are still available, and they get along great. He's going to be neutered on June 2nd and will be ready to go home a few days later (or stay here for a while longer if need be). 

Pierogi says "Hi, hi! I am still available for adoption, isn't that SHOCKING?" SO shocking! Read his description below, and email Forgotten Felines at [email protected] to inquire, or fill out an application at tinyurl.com/ffhsv

PIEROGI (male - DOB 2-26-26)  is a silly, sweet chatty boy who will greet you at the door, inform you that he is STARVING and then race off to play while you're getting food for him (but don't worry, he'll be back to gulp down his food before he races off again.) He is one energetic, playful boy who is nearly constantly on the go and loves to RUN! JUMP! and POUNCE! on his siblings.  He rarely slows down, but when he does he might allow a cuddle or two (he's not sure about being kissed, but we're working on it.) He - did we mention? - is super playful; his favorite toys are ping pong balls, felted balls, and toys with feathers attached (they might not have feathers attached when he's done with them, though.) He gets along great with other cats and would be fine with cat-friendly dogs. He MUST be in a home with another cat to play (and cuddle) with - if you're looking for a pair, his siblings Wonton and Tortellini are still available, and he gets along great with them. He's going to be neutered on June 2nd and can go home a few days later (or stay here for a while longer if need be).
