#EventsDearBoy 3. MUTANT MASSACRE (1986, Marvel) Apparently one of Jonathan Hickman's ideas when he revamped the X-Men was 'give them some wins'. Wherever could the idea that the X-Men are constantly losing have come from, I wonder? Perhaps this first mutant event will shed some light!

UNCANNY X-MEN 211: WOLVERINE, his mask shredded, pops his claws. Around him caper the many stars of the merry Marvel Universe, this being one of their 25th Anniversary covers

#EventsDearBoy 4. AGE OF APOCALYPSE (1995, Marvel) Stuck in the diminishing returns of imitating Chris Claremont's labyrinthine subplotting without his flair, the 90s X-Office does the one thing he never tried: a story with a beginning, a middle and an end.

I've heard that the GC event in Belfast encouraged people to join trans supportive groups in order to change 'hearts and minds' from within. Organisations need to take note that this is most certainly a problem and it needs nipped in the bud.

Texas isn't a red state. It's a state held hostage by gerrymandering and voter suppression. Hell, earlier this week they announced they're shutting down half the voting centers in Tarrant County (that's Fort Worth, 2.2 million people) and kicked everyone out of the hearing who wanted to comment.

"This story is about Female Rage, where a woman gets angry over being horribly mistreated and abused, but eventually learns to forgive and move on and be a nurturing kind soul instead of vengeful, which would be masculine and unbecoming---" Shut up. Let women rip out their abuser's spines.

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
