1-800-GAIL-BEAR 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
ANNUAL REPORT
2025
1-800-GAIL-BEAR
TO OUR AUDIENCE
Strategic Highlights
The elimination of the 1-800-GAILBEAR Twitter account has left a bit of a void in terms of distribution of links to submitted reports and the publicizing of the site’s existence.
Given that the site only exists as a bit of fun, there are currently no significant strategic plans beyond simply maintaining the site and simply allowing users to utilize the service as they will.
Financial Highlights
1-800-GAIL-BEAR is not-for-profit site financed by the profits of OpenDoor Comics, of which there are none.
There are, however, hosting expenses. Users are encouraged, but not required, to look into the various methods available to financially support OpenDoor Comics.
Operating Highlights
After lying dormant since 2022, the site saw an uptick in activity in late 2025 that has continued into early 2026. With Twitter fully committed to being the Nazi bar, Bluesky has become the platform of choice for Gail Simone’s assaults on the immortal souls of social media users and on decency itself.
“Given that the site only exists as a bit of fun, there are currently no significant strategic plans beyond simply maintaining the site and simply allowing users to utilize the service as they will.”
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
As noted in the Financial Highlights, there are no finances to summarize.
- 1-800-GAIL-BEAR has no mechanism for generating revenue
- OpenDoor Comics does have mechanisms for generating revenue:
- Advertising
- While the expense is minimal, there is a cost associated with the 1800gailbear.com domain
- This is in addition to the overall domain name and hosting costs of the parent site

Highlights and Observations
- There was a market increase in reports of Gail causing people to think about something they do not wish to think about and Gail finding a new and novel way to commit violence
- There was a marked decrease in reports of Shenanigans
- All Violation Reports linked to posts on Bluesky
- The 1-800-GAILBEAR Twitter account was deactivated in 2024
- Wherever Gail goes, she sows chaos and confusion in her wake
Someone said it best: “This is an indication of success: Gail’s followers now have a nervous twitch when her posts seem believable.” Gail says, with a straight face (text), that her favorite RPG is The One Ring. …. and has all the comments genuinely concerned as to whether this exists.
- As a trickster, Gail can use the appearance of sincerity to deceive
Replaying her success with confusing/scaring people on Other Place, Gail returns to Bluesky with her declaration that Con Air is the most plausible movie ever made. …. and I’m *STILL* not sure if she means it or not!
- Gail does not appear to believe that US relations with Canada are sufficiently strained
I mean, in her defense, someone egged her on but COME ON! Don’t do Canada this way!
(Gail declares Canada doesn’t have pickles)
- Gail is sometimes late to the party
Gail has just noticed that Wicked rips off The Wizard Of Oz! How could they?!
- Some Violation Reports focus on the ways in which Gail can be a force for good
…. but it’s a *good* kind of hooliganism. The kind that pisses off transphobes. And everyone needs to watch Gail start a Bluesky fad that steamrolls them.
Gail has told the glorious tale of a woman mechanic who absolutely blew the *SOCKS* off some scoffing manosphere idiot.
It gets better every. Single. Step.
- Gail retains her fascination with kaiju genitalia
She wants to know how many testicles King Ghirorah would have.
SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE’S DOING!
- Flatulence was a recurring theme
Gail has thrown a burn that will be felt for ages and eons, and somehow does it with farts.
Gail has requested that I think about Namor farts.
- Gail is always on the clock
Borderline ‘wooooowwww’. Gail and her 3AM puns inventing ‘The Epstein Bears’.
LOOKING AHEAD
I must admit that after so many years, I’m a bit out of practice in compiling this report.
I’m also kind of lazy, so it is not as in-depth as prior years’ reports, but in my defense, I will point to the axiom that you get what you pay for.
Besides, like Gail’s psychically damaging posts, this is all meant to be fun, and if it stops being fun and starts feeling too much like work, well, what’s the point?
Right now, it is still fun to provide people with a place they can go to narc like a common Gambit and join in the fun of living in the chaos that Gail throws out into social media like confetti like an ursine Rip Taylor.
Keep submitting reports, because Gail is certainly going to continue to provide you with reasons to tattle on her.
I will close with some wise words from the bear herself.
“if it stops being fun and starts feeling too much like work, well, what’s the point?”
