Played Commander with @bridgetmckinney.bsky.social and her partner and they were very nice and let me win. 😂 I learned A LOT, and it turns out I haven’t forgotten as much as I thought. NOW to start my work on a flying cat deck…

Bookstores would be able to stock more books if publishers stopped putting out 800 page trade tomes that could be edited down significantly and not formatted for book collectors. Anyway long live the MMPB.

Having anxiety dreams about the Friends of the Library book sale I’m managing this weekend because I was an overconfident fool who said, “we can definitely raise $1500 this year.”

Absolutely egregious from the people who bought the three oldest magazines in SFF and are attempting to convert them into a giant funnel of monetizable IP

New writers: DO NOT give away your subsidiary tv/film/merch/derivative rights for a $300 short.

Not even for legacy mag cred.

I've used her work in my work to help people think more critically about disability in my own community. She reached so far and helped so many of us feel seen and supported. What a loss.

Donate to Chip in to help with the cost of existence while I job hunt., organized by Tanya DePass Like many of those in the games industry, I was laid off back… Tanya DePass needs your support for Chip in to help with the cost of existence while I job hunt.

So I did the thing before I chickened out (or came to my senses) and threw up a GFM as a stop gap measure. I hate doing it more than anyone will hate seeing another fund raiser.
