The Asian Human Rights Commission released a report on International Human Rights Day with the concerning subtitle, "A Turning Point for the Worse?" Download and read it here. It's a chilling read.

Southeast Asia recently has risen in prominence in the U.S. comics scene, with Malaysian artist Lat seeing his seminal cartoons released stateside by First Second and the Filipino Leinil Yu drawing Marvel's summer blockbuster Secret Invasion. There's perhaps no better time, then, for an anthology of comics from the region.That was the mindset of Sonny Liew, who was born in Malaysia before

I did a reading last week in Chicago at the Parlor, a monthly reading series at the Green Lantern. If you want, you can listen top it here, plus all sorts of questions I wasn't expecting! That I still had to answer! Bummer for me! But it's a pretty good reading I think!

Among the several things I have neglected to update my dear Camb(l)o(g)dia readers on are my recent cross-country excursions with the Harpswell Girl's zines. In particular, I failed to describe the amazing experience I had working with the girls of the Martinez Street Women's Center, a great little storefront service org in San Antonio, TX.

I've had an incredibly busy summer, so more updates (and an exciting new project or two announcement) will come soon, but I've completed the first final copies of New Girl Law, and they're amazing. (One viewer was quite close to tears.)They're currently for sale on my Etsy shop (I'm megasuperanne) for $300—a portion of proceeds will go to benefit my very favorite Cambodian NGO.Readers in Cambodia

Here's my BSS narrator Jeanarie listening to the audio book New Girl Law, chapters 1 and 4 through 11. Even though I left in all her mistakes, she likes it, especially Limheang's singing. For the rest of the week, I continue printing the book version and editing the audio. It will be pretty cool.

They say that April showers bring May flowers, but the downpour I've been under this month better bring more than flowers. As updates go, this will be short, but I did an incredibly fun lecture last night called "The Advantage and Disadvantage of Dorm" at the University of Chicago's PanAsia Festival.
