I have an essay appearing in a book called That One Matt Bors Comic, an anthology about internet meme culture that has a lineup of incredible names attached, including Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics fame and Ryan Broderick, the host of Panic World podcast. Many of the artists who work with the comics journalism website The Nib are onboard, as is the amazing Matt Bors himself.
I’m not entirely sure why I’m included in this constellation of stars, but I’m not complaining! I have a lot to say about online discourse, especially in progressive spaces. When people talk about “how the internet warps our minds and culture,” I think there’s a tendency to focus on right-wing discourse on mainstream platforms like Twitter and TikTok, but people in left-wing communities on Tumblr definitely have their moments as well.
The book is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter here:
