SAAM 2008

Today is April Fool’s Day.

It’s also the first day of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Last year, I recognized this month with a series of semiweekly posts about sexual violence in comics and real life. I’m not going to drag myself back over that ground this year: it is tremendously difficult and draining, and I don’t have the energy right now.

What I am going to do is offer the Inside Out forum as a safe space to discuss issues of sexual violence in and out of comics. Like last year, I will be moderating those discussions closely.

And I really am going to start posting regularly again, probably starting this weekend. =)
