Thank you, James! We can do this.

Thank you so much for sharing this, Gail. I’m an indie author with the same issue & often struggle to go on panels & do readings because of the people. This is a shot of encouragement at the right time. You are appreciated & adored and we’ve got your back. Solidarity 💙

Well, I mean, I disagree, but I am very sorry this happened to the two of you.

This means a lot, thank you.

My wife and i went through it one Easter weekend. We'd not long found out, so not far along... but still way, way far enough.

I don't think the best writer who ever lived could depict even 10% of experiencing it. Sometimes IRL things just don't convert well to fiction.

Yes, I am sorry, Steve. I remember having a difficult time there. I’m sorry!

When I met you and your husband in Vegas at the end of 2023, you said Hi and then vanished. I didn’t know what to make of it at the time. Social anxiety makes a lot of sense. Next time let’s get more than 5 words in and I’m buying a signed Birds of Prey or Secret Six book from you. :)

Well, dang. That’s lovely. Please tell her I am proud of her!

Several years ago at a con, you spoke gently and at length with a friend of mine who deals with social anxiety (as do I).

She came away a different, bolder person. She still talks about it.

Tips from one of the great retailers! Thank you, lord Jermaine!

If you get Uncanny X-men by @gailsimone.bsky.social your series is temporarily Unbreakable X-men starting this week. 10 years into the Age of Revelation future, Rogue made an incredible sacrifice for the world, now Gambit may actively be looking to do the same. Big moments & great Werneck art too!

I don't talk about it often, but I have social anxiety, big crowds can sometimes be difficult.

But the kindness of readers brings a smile to my face. If you see that smile, you know I mean it.

Please be patient if it seems like I am a little bit inside myself sometimes. I can't help it.

Oh boy! A good old fashioned impersonator. Following all women…ew.

Seriously, ladies. I will NOT slide into your DMs. Do not send “me” money or lewds. I’ve reported, but multiple reports can’t hurt.

Thank you, I think all stories are valid if the execution is meaningful and not just for shock.

A lot of women have miscarriages, it’s not that I would never write about one. But it would have to be meaningful and respectful to people who have been through it, not an event trick.

Someone thought an unclear image was proof that Rogue was pregnant & then someone posted they thought the heartbreak would be a miscarriage.

This won't happen, I was being sarcastic. I've never seen @gailsimone.bsky.social not take proper care of her characters.

We all know the real heartbreak coming. Editorial has insisted that Ember is Mephisto, he’s going to take Rogue’s & Gambit’s marriage in exchange for giving Wolvie back his nose. We all know how “the house of ideas” works!

This is sarcasm. We’d see Gail actually do an angry beat imitation if true.

I just love @gailsimone.bsky.social presence on Blue Sky. She's informative, engaging and a little bit of a troll.

I did a cozy homage to her in some fanfiction involving a Sherlockian Spoiler and Black Canary.
