Very sad I couldn’t be at Readercon this weekend *but* am consoled by the fact that Len and I got to visit the most delightful museum of Gilded Age fairgrounds in Paris & we got to ride the last Velocipede carousel in the world (human powered bike carousel) from 1897!!!

When my name was called for a Stoker Award I felt like my heart was going to burst. I wanted so badly to share the moment with Len but for anxieties on crossing the border as a trans couple, I travelled alone. The next best thing to being at the ceremony together was coming home to this surprise 🥹
