PAX is in 10 days. I am attending all three days, which means I have to pack three @tanaudel.bsky.social dresses (I don’t make the rules). It’s October, so it’s going to be all skeletons (I don’t make the rules) but we can pretend it might be library foxes, a crowded sky, and the enchanted carousel.

I enjoy a well-thought-out, rule-based magic system in fiction as much as anyone, BUT I also think that we should give more props to what Terry Pratchett did in the Discworld books, where it was less about rules and more about vibes and, more importantly, what fit a given story the best.

The only problem with a convention as great as PopCon in Ballarat is that it’s so close to PAX 😭
We're off and running at Ballarat Popcon!!
Thankyou @avarrixofficial for all your support getting ready for this event!

Me: *struggling to heal new piercings from a couple of days ago*
Also me: *planning all the new piercings*
This is why I never started getting tattoos, isn’t it.

For Reasons I was watching the 2010 Les Mis anniversary concert last night. And for those on TheatreTok, I’d half forgotten that not only did they have Nick Jonas up against all those theatre legends, but at the end they brought out Michael Ball and had him sing the same part 🤦🏻♀️

They’re actually going to release an official bingo card next year, aren’t they. It’ll be in the Herald Sun. #CarolsByCandlelight

Contrary to posts, you can get through #CarolsbyCandlelight if you are playing #Whamageddon (only the original counts, not covers or remixes!). But if you’re doing the even older Little Drummer Boy game, why are you even watching?!

Getting ready to see #WickedMovie tonight and remembering that none of my green eyeshadows have the same colour payoff as my pink ones. (I spent the time getting ready listening to the first act of the OBC recording and singing along as loud as I wanted, so I won't 🎶be that girl🎶 in the theatre.)

Had therapy today, and mentioned to my psychologist that I need something like the old Stop Tony Meow Chrome add on for all things Trump, except it needs to work across everything on my phone. Someone work on that, please.

No, *you* spent dinner explaining to family the history of the sale of LiveJournal to Russia and the political consequences thereof because of your nightly nine.com.au quiz. And, you know, by extension why fandom is important to global politics, I guess.

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

If you attended Worldcon and haven't tested for COVID yet, please do.
Any other cons this year should seriously reconsider their COVID policies. For instance World Fantasy is in October and they clearly need a masking.

One thing I hope is taken away from the #Glasgow2024 #WorldCon is that it is too soon to relax mask mandates at large events. I personally know over a dozen people who have tested positive with #COVID19 at this event, and masking was sparse at best.

I’m so very tired of being told that conventions can’t have decent policies in place to protect their members because it means fewer people will show up.
There are many people who will not show up if a con doesn’t have decent policies re SARS-CoV-2.
Good to know which people are wanted I guess!
