No more US Worldcons while this policy is in place. It's probably too late for @seattlein2025.org , but @laworldcon.bsky.social should consider whether it's possible to move to an alternate location outside the US. Certainly going forward we shouldn't seat any more US Worldcons.

I highly recommend giving this article a read if you're making a visual novel Visual novels are complicated processes to build, expensive (depending on your personal skills & resources), take a long time and still face a lot of industry stigma Know what you're going into, then make great art!

When I landed in SLC, I used the bathroom despite an anti-trans bathroom ban. Nobody cared. Nobody ever does. The truth is, whatever anti-trans laws they keep passing, nobody actually gives a damn or wants to be the bathroom police. This is the ultimate reason anti-trans hysteria will fail.

This makes me happy in a very bittersweet way. The story is very much influenced by the last months of my mom's life. But also! Giant snails!

#queerwriters My goal for this week is to write the first chapter for Votive, the novel I outlined over the weekend. This is the “get in the mecha, tired AF 30-something queers and go break god out of its prison” story that I finished drafting a year ago and needs a total rewrite.

This is kind of random, but especially YA people, do you remember that scandal where a bunch of mostly YA authors who were found out to ask money for blurbs and not read the book at all? They were associated with a specific trade reviews venue. I can't find ANYthing any more about it.

Artists this is your friendly reminder to draw a little something just for yourself once in a while! Even if it’s small or self-indulgent or rough/unpolished! It’s tough to only draw client work all the time. Try to make time to draw just for the fun and joy of it, too! 💞

Age yourself with a move you saw in the theater. Not the first movie I saw in theaters, but the one that’s more memorable because of when I saw it.

#queerwriters It took me an extra day because I felt quite unwell on Saturday, but I’ve stated outlining. My goal was to do at least the first three chapters, but now I’m going to do the entire book. I’m trying to work smarter, not harder, for this second draft.

Apropos of nothing: I’m genuinely not surprised at all that so many evil people turn out to be actually fucking stupid, because being evil has always been the easier option.
