HEARTWOOD: Non-binary Tales of Sylvan Fantasy is the next P&M Press anthology headed to Kickstarter Fall 2018.

Across time and cultures, humanity has spun tales about the forest: tales of caution, adventure, rites of passage, and discovery. Some of those stories persist as the folklore and fairy tales that delight our imaginations today, and the forest remains a symbol for facing the unknownandemerging transformed.

This anthology is for everyone who’s walked through the undergrowth, in the silence of nature, and longed for an adventure of their own to unfold. These stories of modern-day sylvan fantasy will showcase the best non-binary cartoonists of our day, guiding characters like us into the woods and back again.

Updated design. Hello #QPOCtumblrfam! 

Whew I’m overwhelmed! June is #PrideMonth but its also…

#LovingMonth: On June 12, 1967 the Supreme Court deemed #interracial marriages legal. Though they were already happening, the Loving family were infuriated when they couldnt marry in DC. They helped fight to make it legal with the help of #RobertKennedy & the #ACLU. June 12th is known as #LovingDay but some, like myself, like to recognize it all month. Theres no holidays, heritage or history months for #multiracial people! But looks like June is full lol.

@cody.w.clark: June is #immigrationheritagemonth in the US. IHM is an initiative by #IAmAnImmigrant foundation that celebrates our heritages as a immigrant nation & the contributions to our economy, culture & common identity by immigrants internationally.

@fiu_osji: #CaribbeanHeritageMonth was founded by Dr. Claire Nelson. It was celebrated for the first time in 2000 by the Institute of Caribbean Studies. They started to consider June as the official month in 2004 when a bill was passed by Congresswoman Barbara Lee. It was made official in 2006 when Pres. George W. Bush signed it.

@womenofthemetis:!Happy #IndigenousHistoryMonth! #Métis, #Inuit & #FirstNations histories, art, cultures, traditional knowledge & ways of life are vast, vibrant & beautifully unique. This month & every month, we celebrate the contributions of our #Indigenous community & we honour all that our ancestors have done to help make us who we are today!

@romaniscientist ❤️ It’s Gypsy*, #RomaandTravellerHistoryMonth as well! Our ethnicities have a long way to go to affirm us but theres many of us persisting. Im #Roma & Im Queer*. The 2 arent in conflict here ever. ❤️
*Language Matters Disclaimer: #Gypsy is a #slur. However, that doesnt apply to us #ethnoracial identities that are reclaiming it. Its a word my family uses but doesnt negate that it began as a way to dehumanize & has a history of #antiBlackness too. If you arent #Roma, #Traveller, #Sinti, #Domari, etc just dont use it. Same applies to the use of #TwoSpirit (2S). 2S is only for #Indigenous #Native #FirstNations. #Queer is being reclaimed too but dont ignore the pain behind the word Queer.*
