Marc Silvestri really said "I'm gonna give the gays everything they want" when he came back for #newxmen, huh? #comics #xmen #theywereathroupleyall

The Silvestri-drawn cover to "New X-Men" #151, starring mostly Wolverine's mutant dumper in blue jeans. Also a far-future skyline, but it's hard to see beyond the yellow-and-black-spandex-clad mountain that is Logan's back.

Oh, if only the Stepford Cuckoos knew how fast things can go sideways into dystopia. #xmen #newxmen #comics

In "Here Comes Tomorrow," the surviving Stepford Cuckoos bemoan the dark future they inhabit.

"In our dreams we have seen a new Dark Age. Seen all history set back a thousand years by ignorance and war. Seen, worse than all these, a terrible flaw at the heart of things."

"How did this happen so quickly?" they ask in unison.

A certain genre of straight liberal is mad they can't call people the f-slur and t-slur in polite company anymore, and they're willing to take any chance they can--with plausible deniability, of course, because they're not just bigots, they're also cowards--to preserve their sense of superiority.

Finally reading "Storm: The Arena" and, um, it's a lot of a lot. #xmen #xtremexmen #comics

Sam, Lucas, Tessa, and Ororo on a porch. "So it's official. Now we're all cops," says Sam.

Yukio offers Ororo a wrapped present, to which Ororo objects. "Oh no--not again," she says with her hands up.

Yukio and Ororo dressed as background extras from a porn version of "The Fifth Element." Just really garish shit.

"Therizinosaur as Mr. Snuffleupagus" is my favorite meme of contemporary paleontology.

*Love* an endearingly characterizing bibliographic non sequitur tbh (From Ralf Dose's biography of Magnus Hirschfeld.)

To celebrate #TDOV, here are four of my favorite documentaries centered on trans folks. If you need help finding any of them streaming, lemme know! #TransDayofVisibility

"Immortal X-Men" was exquisite for so many reasons, but its use of character-focalized VO narration found me where I lived, stole my heart, moved in, and made our house a home.

"I try to dream a world where terrible fathers are gone."

If you see this, quote with a game with a 10/10 soundtrack 🎶 "Eastward" is aesthetically 100/10 for me, and the soundtrack offers some of the best modern chiptunes.

Finally getting around to #Krakoa era #NewMutants and 1) it really is that good 2) it really does help with missing the status quo 3) my thumb is tired from screenshotting panels to use as reactions.

HoX/PoX is smart about so many things, and Scott confronting the FF about the limits of white liberal allyship is truly S-rank comics.

Finding the notion that Jean is canonically (maybe just sarcastically?) a Pisces deeply upsetting.

Clefable, because my life became infinitely better when I accepted I was *not* going to end up being the main character (or its evolution). Also, gay.

Things have once again gotten so bad that I'm fully embracing the queer optimism (but not *that* "Queer Optimism") of Amy Adams' monologue in "Her."

As an air sign dating a Leo, yes, I do in fact want to be my boyfriend's hype man, but I like to envision this more as Carly Rae Jepsen's drummer iconically singing along to "Run Away With Me."

I feel like the fandom pendulum has swung such that any time I say something as gentle and vague as "That text is not for me," I'm given a lecture that begins "Well, have you ever heard of 'reparative reading?'"
