Aime Wichtendahl on Bi-Visibility and Godzilla Preparedness
from Transcending Comics · host Tomi Trembath
Today on Transcending Comics, we're joined by sci-fi writer, Iowa House Representative, and all-around awesome human being, Aime Wichtendahl! We're discussing our short comic, "The Most Precious Resource," which is featured in the latest Lifeline Comics anthology, Bi-Visibility: Bi Bi Bi. You can back the comic until the end of June on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/comicuno/bi-visibility-3 Aime and I also get into her experience as Iowa's first trans elected official, and the hardships of representing the community in the first state to remove civil rights protections for trans people. Things aren't all doom and gloom though, Aime lays out a path forward for those in red states facing civil rights setbacks. We also explore Aime's history as a sci-fi novelist, and discuss how best to prepare for Godzilla attacks and other (more likely) disaster situations. Check out Aime and I's previous interview over a "Hot-Ones" challenge of our own: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC3c90T3Xg8 Find us on: BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/tomitrembath.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/transcendingcomics/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TranscendingComics Twitter: @TranscendComics https://twitter.com/TranscendComics Email: [email protected] Our intro song is "A Little Soul" and our outro is "You've Been Starring" both by Carlsin.
