Listening to @josephbrassey.bsky.social reading from a book that's not out yet. Which is wholly unfair because I would like to buy this book right MEOW.

What a glorious day! I don't remember the last time I got to drive to Norwescon with the roof off the car LFG!

TFW you want to wear a knee length skirt to one day of a convention but your legs are pasty white, bruised, and awful. If you see me rocking stockings and sneakers this weekend, no you didn't.

CONGRATULATIONS to @erikscottdebie.bsky.social his awesome agent on this epic achievement!! 🎉🎉🎉

Who am I going to see this weekend? I'll have a post up on my website with my programming schedule [probably] tomorrow. Looking forward to a fantastic, geeky weekend!

Holy cats, y'all. It's so good.

It's April 14th and this year I have a NEW Titanic documentary to watch. I am so ready.

Migraine hitting on a day I had PLANS for is extra annoying. But at least this happened today instead of one of the days during Norwescon.

2025 Hugo Awards, Lodestar Award for Best Young Adult Book, and Astounding Award Announcement: Seattle Worldcon 2025, the 83rd World Science Fiction Convention, is delighted to announce the finalists for the 2025 Hugo Awards, Lodestar Award for Best Young Adult Book, and As…

Widget would like everyone to know he went to the groomer yesterday and that it's very VERY exhausting work being this pretty.

Achievement unlocked: I no longer panic when I learn that a song requires me to use a capo. I just pop it on the guitar & play

The CEO of my favorite shoe brand went on News Nation to talk about what tariffs are doing to small businesses. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8j6Maqg/

Had a short story acceptance hit my inbox tonight. I needed that.

What Not a Pipe Publishing book are you looking forward to reading next? Post a selfie of you holding the book (in print or on a device), and you’ll make the author very happy! bit.ly/NaPBooks

My partner went to my website and took down my eligibility post & Hugo campaign page (at my request) so I didn't have to and that's one of a zillion reasons he's the best. @officemonkey.bsky.social

An excellent thread!

Also shouting out pals I don't know as well, but adore & admire & want all the best things for @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social & @premeemohamed.com !! Y'all are awesome 🤩

Congratulations to @seananmcguire.bsky.social and @jenniferbrozek.bsky.social as well as @natania.bsky.social & team on your well deserved nominations!! seattlein2025.org/wsfs/hugo-aw...

First tiny sunburn of the year. I'm going to sleep so well tonight.... ⛵

Mine is the phone number people write on their arm. I can't safely protest, but I have Nice White Lady clothes, a credit card, and an unusual comfort level around the judicial system (dad was a lawyer, I grew up around a courthouse). We help how we can.

My phone is on audible alert with the volume all the way up today and it really drives home why I keep it on silent.

To all my fellow Bail Aunties: set a reminder to turn your phone ringer on in the morning & make sure it's not in Do Not Disturb mode. And to everyone attending an action: be safe, be smart, and make good trouble!

It's nice outside and my car needs gas. So I put on a whole outfit and will be driving with the top down to Costco for gas & a snack from the food court.

It was Not Cold today so I made etouffee (over black pepper grits) and French 75's for dinner. Drinking On The Boat Season approaches!

I always forget in between times just how impatient I get waiting for a roux to brown....

Oops. I tripped and bought the gayest sneakers I've ever seen.

I got my band to learn "Good Luck, Babe" for our next gig because any space I enter just automatically becomes a queer space and I just can't help myself but make things extra queer whenever I see an opening

The lesson of today is: Never let impostor syndrome hold you back. There's almost no way you're actually less competent than some of the people in charge.

If I have mutuals heading to this event, I'd love to send some free books for giveaway

Look what came in the mail!! Huge shout out to @boldlyglowbeauty.com for including me in your pre-launch crew. The lip balms are adorable and go on flawlessly. I'll be toting these around to all my summer cons. The product launch is April 5th if y'all want one (or 3!) of your own!

Tonight I get to help assess new skaters for @jetcityrollerderby.bsky.social and I'm so jazzed. Bringing new athletes into our sport is one of my favorite things & it's a rare treat these days to work with beginner adults instead of my [beloved] kids. 🛼

And LOOK AT GAY VALIMONT!! That lead may not hold, but I'm so proud of NWFL voters for it being this close at this point.

Pollls are open till 7pm. If you’re in line, STAY in line. LFG FL!

Our whole family is tuning in for the next 30 minutes because I'm old enough to realize when history is happening and want to be able to say I watched it in real time.

My hometown is voting today and I am stressed about it from the other side of the country.

I'm watching a filibuster on TikTok Live & hoping there are enough West Wing fans currently in the Senate to remember the lesson of the Stackhouse Filibuster.

Ok but I want to frame this skeet.

Every time @erikscottdebie.bsky.social surprises me with Taylor Swift lyrics I didn't know he knew, a Swiftie angel gets its wings
