The back side of the zine. Text reads "Rating the X-Men by their Charisma Uniqueness Nerve & Talent" with the first letter of the words highlighted in pink

"Strength?" "Energy Projection?" What about the stats that matter? What about their Charisma Uniqueness Nerve & Talent?

I'll be posting my half of the collaborative zine @thegorgonist.bsky.social and I made in this thread

An image with two equal sections: on the left there is a white and red striped chambered nautilus, on the right an ammonite with a dark brown shell and red body. They are facing each other and each have a background that use the same colors but depict different eras of ocean life.

Nautilus and Ammonite! Millions of years (and quite a few branches on the cephalopod family tree) separate these two, but I love a spiral and a shelled sea creature no matter how extinct!

Woo! My logo Gorgon is finally in pin form and she turned out SO snappy! The black and white stripes really pop even though she's pretty tiny!

The seat-stealer

Your tea is already cold by now, why disturb kitty's slumber? A very cozy reading nook in a very cozy witch's cabin with a VERY cozy cat.
