I've always wondered if Clark Kent's coworkers would notice he doesn't age. It ought to be a big problem for immortals (which Superman essentially is).

Yay, raqmo!

White People Wielding Needles The more of us stand together, the faster this change will be and the fewer people will suffer in the meantime. In what I hope is a quite obvious note: this is not me saying this. This is a known a…

And this is why I got forced out of Arisia. I'm not white nor BIPOC. I have an inkling of marginalization, but not the full experience.

I tried to get them to go to other cons. Even a local, one-day Blerd con (very cheap) -- and they had excuses. Then IR'd me. strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

Musk has all the data you've ever given to the US government now, including all your social security information. It's been over 2 days of unrestricted access. I suggest you download and save what you can offline. Assume everything is compromised.

You've sold art at cons. Per the new rule to be ratified, that makes you a pro.

Look for The Cogitation Zone at the Natick farmer's market tomorrow 9-1 and in Melrose on Sunday 11-3 at Melrose memorial hall.

"permanently"?

On the way to Cherry Hill for Philcon, mostly as an opportunity to see my niece and eat at the Silver Diner. Maybe I'll get lucky and sell some art. I'm on program and have 2 workshops: wire trees & alcohol inks.

I remember "cozy" (WCOZ) and WAAF, but preferred WBCN.

Alexander's still exists, unchanged, as far as I can tell. Subs don't ship well. Also, Mario's Italian is pretty much the same. Alas, most other places are gone. Though there are a lot more restaurants. And Cary Library, though remodeled, is still awesome.

You definitely mostly drove the Rabbit. I remember it.

Romance Writers of America files for bankruptcy amid bitter racism battle Group says membership crisis means it cannot pay conference contracts as top writer condemns RWA’s ‘retreat from commitment to equality’

Yay for @courtneymilan.com taking down the RWA. www.theguardian.com/books/articl...

Solaris? Triplanetary/Lensmen? Dune?

Looks like a Tom Canty

I recall we all enjoyed walking through their poster sessions

A pair of commercial Keurig cups with two coffee blends, both labeled "Good Morning" but one is decaf

Shouldn't the decaf Good Morning blend be a Good Evening blend?

About to explore a desert in a jeep with gale force winds roaring. For 6 hours. Whee!

Rumor has it the actors were not paid

View across Utah near Monument Valley; Chevron in midground. Much reddish desert with some green scrub. Balcony in foreground with railing, table and chairs. On Diné (Navajo) reservation land. Mountains and plateaus in far distance.

The view from our hotel room is much better than what @scalzi.com usually gets, though there is a parking lot (and gas station).

According to Rob, he felt he was doing good by bringing freedom and light there. Because I asked him directly about it. I just smiled and nodded and didn't roll my eyes.

In his own mind, he has

Rene is no longer active in SF fandom

The Montreal bid is Cansmof. Bid chairs are Terry Fong and Jannie Shea; Angela Jones is treasurer.

"smof" is just a shortcut name for conrunner. No smofs, no cons. If you've ever helped out, even in a minor way, at a con you are a smof.

Now the cat is sleeping on the couch in the spot I had been sitting in

We worked it out.
