There’s just no non-insane way to tell your coworkers that you’re walking kind of funny on a Tuesday because you spent Thursday - Sunday at a comic con doing Spider-Man poses

Getting interviewed by amNewYork at NYCC about Spider-Man, while dressed as cowboy Spider-Man, was extremely surreal.

Brian Braddock is and should always be Captain Britain.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

listen. people who've been in the profession of librarianship are believed to be quite generally opposed to the practice of book burning. I am not. "A Little Life" is the gay guy Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a damningly poorly written hateful text about people the author would just as soon shoot

A Little Life is a trash piece of manipulative torture porn that shows a deep hatred of its characters and gay men, in general. And, it’s poorly written.

Like, I never say don’t read something, but it’s one of the most unpleasant and mean spirited books I’ve read.

A weird number of gay men were very vocal defenders when it came out. It’s shifted over time, but it was a thing when it came out.

It’s a statue! But they did have a few official cosplayers.

Terrible shot, but that’s a guy in full Grey Knight Space Marine armor

Like a devout Catholic reflexively crossing themselves, my hands snapped up to my chest and made the sign of the Aquila in the presence of one of the Emperor’s blessed Angels of Death

Special shoutout to the scalper outside NYCC who called me “gay Venom” after I said that, no, I did not have extra tickets to sell.

Baby, they’re all gay Venom.

POV: it is 1994, you have no stable job, your love interest is in jail, you're a clone, and the other, meaner clone keeps trying to kill you, but at least you have empanadas.

NYCC, Day 3.

It’s #NationalComingOutDay. It is a very scary time to come out, be visible, and be engaged in our community. I’m trying my best to be there for us when & where I can. For those who cannot - I see you. I hope one day you will feel safe enough to be out with us. #trans 📸: @nolandigital.bsky.social
