I've always felt that X-Men is best when the stories are human and the central theme is when a community meets and supports your needs, you become your best self and make the world better. #uncannyxmen continues to scratch that itch. Not really #xspoilers but tagging just in case

An astoundingly misleading column by Colville. Firstly, ignores that there is already a 10 year route to ILR, shown to be massively damaging all round. Ignores many dependents also earn, and can't claim support from the state, and the grooming gangs line is frankly just a dog whistle. 1/

Rogue. Copic on bristol. Winner of the latest “Hey, Who Should I Draw?” poll over on my Instagram. Thanks for taking a look! #rogue #xmen #marvel #comics #art #mutant #illustration

Rogueby.. Rogby??? Yes. #xmen

I did not always love X-MEN (vol 2) in this period, but it did not lack for strong character moments. This was *the* X-Men moment of the early/mid 90s.

Kid is feeling vindicated one of the fixation questions they've had about The Outliers came up today. Maybe they'll stop suggesting I tag @gailsimone.bsky.social every issue to ask now... 😂 UXM#9 was great for pulling at threads already laid & characters to create my fave kind of story. On to 10!

That's not a Roman Beaker. THIS is a Roman Beaker...

Walk a mile in these Louboutinsssss ✨ (I’m sorry)

Oh ho ho, I spy some familiar names 👀

I would like to go an issue of #AbsoluteWonderWoman without tearing up at this point, actually.

some buds act like it is so hard to love but it is so easy. you just do nothing. in the absence of all things, we just love. it is what we are built to do. just strip off everything else, all the baggage, and love is underneath

You will respect Rogue on this page. Or fear the wrath of the ducklings! #xmenmeme #xmen #xmen97 #rogue #romy

I read the Savage Land Rogue comic, because despite my cynicism there was a sliver of hope. I'm not inherently against a SL revisit! But the only interesting part was immediately undermined by framing, and if I'm reading young sunshine + old grump romance, I expect more original writing. Alas...

"Scott didn't UBER piss me off by the end. That still isn't great, but it's an improvement." 😂

Eldest decided it was comic catch-up day, and I swear they absconded with about 20 and promised (threatened) to come back for more. First on the list was the Raid on Graymalkin arc and I can't wait to hear their opinion

Live your life so that when you die, some joyless schmuck is annoyed that his entire social media feed is a wall of people's posts talking about how much you and your work meant to them

it's incredibly important, in art, to have people who are just out there unapologetically being their weirdest and best selves regardless of what anyone else thinks that's how the best art is made David Lynch embodied that more than most people ever have RIP to one of the all time greats

So: there is sadly little to no correlation between one's real life acts and the acts described in one's fiction. And no moral value in having known a person was problematic before others did. It is ok not to have known.

A real thing that happened to me in 1996
