Yeah I was so excited to drag Ring and was disappointed I didn’t have the chance to

The one I answered earlier this week was just about credit unions + health care

It’s gotten to the point where they’re no longer asking about Ring in fan surveys, and I think it’s because people are taking them over the coals for the sponsorship

I love the Estonian skater going after the men’s skaters in her Cell Block Tango routine

not only is it still on, but there's now a prequel series

I'm still mad about hockey BUT AMBER GLENN TOP 5!!!!!!

I'm gonna be bitter about Curl not getting a major for a long time

anyway, fuck Britta Curl and the fact that she made the US Hockey team

The USA got so fucking lucky that Curl didn't get a major and I hate that they scored

"I didn't fall in the Olympics" after her free skate. 🥹 got me tearing up in the club

As it's Hugo time, I wanted to talk about a category I care about, and which I think could do with a bit of extra love when it comes to nomination time - it's best fan writer!

(this is gonna be a thread of me doing hype, which I'm bad at, but that is much deserved by all here linked, pls be nice)

This was one where I really would love a full novel in this setting - it felt like the world was full of details that could easily be expanded on

What Elegant Stars Queer Tales of Impossible Style, a fashionable space opera anthology.

Three days, slightly under $3k to go in order to fund WHAT ELEGANT STARS, a space opera & fashion anthology that I am deeply, deeply excited to write for ... if it gets funded.

I haven’t read that one yet, but I adore their Mercenary Librarian books (mutual aid as resistance + actual thunderstorm banging in the first book)

This unrivaled 1 on 1 final is getting silly

That ice was cursed - the guy who won gold from Kazakhstan is the only one in the final group who skated cleanly, and there were so many falls in the earlier group. Just rancid vibes in that rink today

he's the only one in the final group who skated cleanly. Just wild how cursed the ice was today

they need to cleanse the rink, the vibes are rancid

the ice for the men's free is cursed today

I don’t usually campaign for awards, but this year I’ve decided to go for broke for a Fan Writer Hugo Award. Yay me!

this is my hugo eligibility post i guess as it’s my first thing eligible since about 2017 so it’s a novelty: i published this poem last year! and it’s eligible!

We've been on the long list the past two years, and would love for you to consider nominating us again this year

Every month, we get together to talk about what we've read, what we've watched or played, and what crafts we're currently working on. We also talk a lot about the Hugos and what's going on in SFF more generally. This is our seventh year, and it's legit a highlight of my month

The monthly liveshow I co-host with @kalanadi.bsky.social, @bookfinch.bsky.social, @thefancyhatlady.bsky.social, and @breereadsbooks.bsky.social, Stitch & Bitch, is eligible for Best Fancast this year www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Since the Hugo Award nominations are now open, we need to talk about the #Lodestar. I'm going to give you some tips on how to nominate appropriately - in other words, to nominate Young Adult, not Middle Grade or adult crossovers. bsky.app/profile/lawo...
