OH NO WAD IT EJ

sorry

Elon knows people like him are not just a minority but a reviled one by most people in most countries so he is buying the illusion of popularity just like he purchased the false veneer of business genius, he's even using the same method

I can only imagine how that team is feeling today, after experiencing this disappointing moment at the Hugo Ceremony, and now not even being included in the apology. Please make this right. All of the Hugo finalists deserve to be celebrated and uplifted by the Worldcon. 2/2

Everybody at 6 in the morning on a Saturday on social media wishing for the same thing for no particular reason

Toooooooooootaly unnoticeable 😅

GREAT panel

Go on the Irish!

They've created a survey with a bunch of leading questions. The survey deserves some responses supportive of the program to counteract its framing:

I think Martha wells is most likely to get somewhere in the 4.5 range if murderbot gets one- hasn’t she stated that she will be rejecting any nominations for murderbot to let others get their flowers?

I considered not going in today, but the thing my work did was “trip to volunteer at free books to prisoners program all day”

TikTok wants me to download their app so bad, that even though they definitely know I’m in the US and not the UK, this is there newest trick they’re resorting to. I don’t know what it said, but here’s the proposed fare changes www.mta.info/fares-tolls/...

Mostly I go to group sings, not concerts, so those are over the last 2 years I think.

This post is making me think of what @adapalmer.bsky.social said on the Rules were meant to be Broken, structures in society panel, talking about an importance’s of figuring out who ends up at the edges of whatever society you’re creating.

AND NOW MONIQUILL HAS AN ASTOUNDING AWARD

I will try to remember to do this when I get home haha but I’m about to board a red eye

Seattle humidity murdered me to death. TSA is checked did a double take after looking at my ID and said “where did your curls go? What did you do to your hair?” 🥲

Or, you know, if you’re feeling really cool. You can also hire me to do long form custom stuff in the colors and things you want.

As I always remind people between cons, tag me if someone says something good and I might do it up fancy style.

I always get so much joy out of attending Worldcons - so many notes to take, so many wonderful people I meet for the first or second or fifth time. The best of the best is when I walk up to the table after a panel and someone goes “IT’S YOU”. and I get to go “it’s me :)” 💜

An incredible book, and my pick for the lodestar last year!
