Logan with your claws so bright
Won't you help me fight Magneto tonight?

Then the X-Men won the battle
And they shouted out yippee,
Then they all got on the Blackbird
And partied hard as could be!

Wolverine the Grumpy X-Man
Had some very shiny claws
And if you ever sass him
He might just cut off your jaws

All of the other X-Men
Used to say 'hey Logan, what's your deal?'
He never wanted to be an X-Man
It didn't have any appeal

Then one big, big battle day
Professor X came to say

Today has been tough, so here for the record are the lyrics of the "X-Men song" I sing my son.

To the tune of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

You know Jean Grey, and Cyclops, and Storm, and Rogue.
You know Gambit, and Iceman, and Beast, and Toad.
But do you recall...
The most famous X-Man of allll

In new albums by Florence + the Machine and Lily Allen we see two different reflections of feminine rage in the year 2025 and how the Trump era is convincing women playing by the rules no longer serves them. In this essay I will.....

If your day needs brightening, here's my cat losing a staring contest with an otter puppet. Twice.

My child was thrilled to learn today that with greater bed size comes even greater bedsheets.

September was one of my better months of writing this year with 10,007 words over 14 days. Not a bad report for @gywo.bsky.social

Made the "mistake" of going to my fave local bookstore to buy birthday presents on a T. Kingfisher release day. Couldn't resist buying a copy of What Stalks the Deep. So much for the resolution to just read what's on my shelves. Wish I could say I'm sorry, but @tkingfisher.com has me hooked.

Florence+ The Machine serving Patti Smith and releasing a Halloween album is giving me LIFE

I hope you all read this from me.

Real time location sharing with your spouse is amazing. I can look at my phone and make sure traffic wasn't so bad he's in danger of missing school pickup.

Also, as a parent, the "magic" markers that don't show up anywhere but the special paper.

Your poem presentation was one of my highlights of the ceremony! Thank you for how wonderful that was!

So so excited about this Hugo win! This was possibly the thing I was most excited about nominating and voting for this year. I loved Between Earth and Sky and you should all read it!

First time at the Hugos, let's go!! #worldcon

Friday Afternoon tea is legitimately fabulous. Most of my (extensive) tea cabinet is from them and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Glad you posted this thread. That was the panel at WorldCon where I've taken the most notes so far.

I'm so excited this story is out in the world! It's one of my favorites I've written to date and got me connected with the amazing folks at @dreamfoundry.bsky.social

Apparently this week marks 5 years with the most foolish of cats. Happy cativersary Pippin.

This is a bleak timeline, but thank goodness for Alexandra Petri

Tagging the fine folks of @dreamfoundry.bsky.social who gave the story and award in 2023!

One of my favorite stories I've written to date is about teenage witches who practice in a suburban Chicken Express, and it's finally being published!!

Here's the amazing cover that looks awesome and is hilariously mismatched with the tone of my story that's in it!

Today my 3 year old asked me to sing him an X-Men song at bedtime, so on the spot I wrote Wolverine the Grumpy X-Man to the tune of Rudolph.

Why even sit down to write today? I've clearly hit my creative peak for the day.

Ooh good to know. I'm almost out of Key lime because it's soooo good for Arnold Palmers

Get Us the Fuck Out of Apocalypse Seattle: Seattle’s Final Days in 'The Last of Us' Season Two Well, on Sunday, May 25, the sophomore season of HBO’s The Last of Us ended with a literal bang, but an emotional whimper. With the season’s end comes the end of Seattle’s time in th...

Thank you @thestranger.com for covering the backflips my brain was doing to figure out where the heck the season finale of The Last of Us was supposed to take place.

You missed me spending the 2nd half of the episode yelling about how Ellie would have had hypothermia from her time in The Sound.

Reminder to self and others, you are not an endless productivity machine. Getting stuck sometimes is supposed to happen
