The ongoing came out the year after my oldest was born and she grew up hearing stories of Babs and Dinah!
It’s only fitting that she bought me @gailsimone.bsky.social first omnibus at Christmas!

"A mutant is a lot more likely to be a victim of violence than the perpetrator."
Well said, C Robert Cargill. That works for trans people too.

I am 22 yrs younger than my husband. Met him when I was 24. Never wanted marriage, never expected anything beyond a fling. We will celebrate 19 yrs of marriage this yr. Now that I'm in my mid 40's and he's retired no one bats an eye. Families realize we're great together❤️

No, but it was an honor to get to write for @thebiggestjim.bsky.social. That episode is hilariously executed.
I sometimes forget @gailsimone.bsky.social wrote an episode for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, I wonder if the show's director @thebiggestjim.bsky.social got to meet her?

I think the most scandalous thing about Dr Pepper is that it isn't even a real doctor.
It's actually a carbonated drink that has never even had any medical training. It also doesn't hold any advanced degrees at all, let alone a PhD.
It's an unqualified can of lies.

It was a big process, had to get signed approvals!
Chuckled a bit with this page of Uncanny X-Men #17 introducing Mutina. Dunno how @gailsimone.bsky.social pulled these writers @crobertcargill.bsky.social Nancy Collins, and Joe Hill for interview lolz

See, @gailsimone.bsky.social ?
See? It’s a miraculous soda given to us by God himself/herself!!!
I bet it was first concocted in the holiest of holy grails!
The cup of Christ hath brought us the sweet carbonated nectar that we deserve!!!
I’m a pepper. You’re a pepper. WE…are a pepper.

I’ve figured it out.
Your sudden interest in stand up comedy is just research.
You’re writing Jackie Jokers, aren’t you?
You’re writing a new book with a new crooked president!

I like a good corny burrito.
And if @scalzi.com likes it, then you should consider a lovely corn burrito.
And wash it down with Dr Pepper to @gailsimone.bsky.social’s chagrin.

Diet Dr Pepper is the only diet soda that doesn’t taste worse than its full sugar brethren. Which is an accomplishment of sorts, I guess.

That would work.
To increase the odds of Gail going to your local con, make sure that you have a platoon of cosplayers dressed as Rogue.

Dr Pepper is a sacred drink to my people. There are Dr Pepper Natives, Bepsi Natives, and a small but vocal component of Shasta Natives. That’s what we drink.

For me, the funniest part of these threads is not the people who get that it’s a joke and “yes and” it, and it’s not the people who don’t get that it’s a joke and get enraged about it, it’s the people that don’t get that it’s a joke and strongly agree with the premise.

Long held rumor that Dr Pepper contained prune juice which has been refuted by the company.

When we first met, I was 52 and looked 39. She was 39 and looked 30. Now I'm 63 and look 47, and she's 50 but still looks 30. There's definitely something weird going on with our aging processes. It's a good thing we like each other. We mutants need to stick together.

It's weird, everywhere you look, Batman has been KILLING IT in popularity for years and years.
How in god's name did they decide not to release a spin-off movie with BAT right in the title?
It haunts me, I swear.
