Welcome to another week of Aster and the Fire!!! I hope everybody is having a good Pride Month so far, whether you’re a part of the queer community or an ally. I’m hoping to attend a pride event in my city-if it happens it’ll be the first time I ever go! Let me know if you’re going to an event in the comments below.
In terms of other life stuff, things are going well–this week, one of my grad school papers just got accepted for publication in a journal! I’m going to be a first author!!! A win for STEM gays everywhere <3 Now, if I could just get a goddamn job…
Also-general announcement! SpiderForest, the webcomic collective I am a part of, is opening up for applications starting this upcoming Monday, June 10! It’ll run for about a month-more information can be found here.

Pride Month may be here, but the siege on Gaza is as well. Check out this week’s fundraiser down below:
Urgent Appeal: Evacuate My Family from Gaza
Enas, a Gazan currently living in Australia, is trying to evacuate his family out of Gaza. This is a particularly time-sensitive one, as his mother is currently suffering from a brain tumor that was supposed to be operated on back in October! If you can spare a minute, please help this family out.
This fundraiser is vetted by the grassroots organization Operation Olive Branch. If you’d like to search for a fundraiser yourself on their site, here is the link.
