A little late due to travel and holiday plans but we’re here with our coverage of the first three episode of Marvel’s Ironheart. We pick up with Riri Williams at MIT and things go off the rails from there as she finds herself embroiled in a life of “fun crime with whacky characters” which, it turns out, isn’t all fun and games. There’s some interesting themes brewing under the sufrace here, some highs and lows, and we’re prompted to ask the question—is Han Solo a weenie? Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Lorelei and Tobias help a man named Biff avoid a biker gang called the "Holy Hells!" They also help him find his best friend Josh. I should note** This is inspired from a wonderful book called "Lamb, The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal." Tell us if you hated it or loved it

Welcome back, my fellow creatives!Yup, I'm back to looking at the first five pages of various stories, for those five pages can make or break the engagement of a reader--or an agent. So, let's scope out the stories of others to see how they hook an audience!With my twins Biff and Bash up to their eyeballs in Dr. Who comics, books, and films, I couldn't help but pick a time-traveling story this month. After all, I grew up with the adventurers and time travelers; we even traveled through time ourselves to catch criminals like Carmen Sandiego!And it sounds like Ludington's protagonist Rabbit Ward has his own Carmen Sandiego to contend with. See, Rabbit Ward is an archaeologist who also travels back in time. He doesn't bring artifacts back with him, but he does try to ensure artifacts will be where present-day excavators can find them. It's a fun premise that promises plenty of misadventure, especially if there are competing time-travelers to contend with. That's an interesting twist Ludington shares on the second page of the novel: time machines are expensive, but not unique. This means different owners of those time machines may have their own motives for traveling through time...and chances are they are not all out to preserve antiquities like Rabbit Ward.Ludington's prose establishes the pacing of the story from the get-go with Rabbit Ward "crashing" back into the present, and that momentum never drops. Ludington takes care that the prose never slows that momentum, whether he's describing the time machine or sharing a flashback of Rabbit Ward in ancient Rome. If you've gotta go back in time, then Splinter Effect may be just the trip you need to double-back again.And what will we discover in the following story's pages? We'll have to wait and see. xxxxRead on, share on, and write on, my friends!

In this special Pregnantish Pride episode, we're honored to welcome Trystan Reese — speaker, educator, and trailblazing trans dad — for a candid conversation about parenthood, advocacy, and what it means to build a family in a non-linear way. Trystan made headlines as a transgender man to publicly share his journey of carrying a biological child. But behind the media frenzy was a deeply personal decision — rooted in love and the desire to expand his family with his partner, Biff. While his story was often sensationalized, Trystan has remained committed to educating others and speaking out, not just for himself, but for the broader trans community — especially trans women, who he says too often bear the brunt of bias and misinformation.In this episode, Trystan reflects on how his family — which includes three beautiful children, two through adoption — is both ordinary and extraordinary. He opens up about the need for fertility clinics to better understand trans patients, the harmful assumptions people make, and why it's so important to amplify positive stories about trans families, especially in a time of rising negativity and erasure.As Trystan puts it, his family — like so many others — took the broken shards of glass life gave them and turned them into a beautiful mosaic. Thanks to our episode sponsor, Ferring Pharmaceuticals' Fertility Out Loud and Director of Fertility Coaching, Connie Stark, for sharing the importance of fertility coaching for all aspiring parents, including LGBTQ+ individuals and couples.
