Bel

We don't know they are silent!! There's just no mics. I bet they're all fidgetting and asking "are we there yet?" And "I need a wee!"

So... It turns out my friend of ...twelve years... *Forgot* the fact that I had come out as bi to her a decade ago. Which is kinda funny since I've never hidden anything and for years she's just thought all my weird gay shit has been "just Bel."

Reassuring, really.

Weird but pretty false coloured flowers (teal, blue and purple, I have no idea what type of flower because the only two I can identify are roses and daffodils and it's not either of them)

Unexpectedly
Went on a date yesterday.
She gave me flowers.

Omg I'm on a dating site and... What manner of dystopian hellscape is this? Why is everything gamified? Why is it so hard to meet normal humans? Ugh ugh ugh.

That would be awesome, thank you!!

Pretty good thanks! Didn't exactly get crowds out in a blizzard, but lots of fun people to chat to, and I sold enough to make it worth it!

This Saturday!.Join @frieslandvrouw.bsky.social @robyndansereau.bsky.social and @bel-scifi.bsky.social for their joint book launch! Stories, cake and good times at Crave wine bar, 7.30pm. All welcome!

Strange Mushroom Makes You See Tiny People Chilling on Every Surface A mushroom, called Lanmaoa asiatica, can cause you to see countless tiny people everywhere you look when not prepared correctly.

Tonight! Come join us at 5:30 to celebrate the launch of HOPESTREET by @bel-scifi.bsky.social!

Thank you!!

Thank you for spreading the word?

Thank you very much!!!

If you are more free on Wednesday, i am at @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social too!

Sincerely hope so! They've been great, but I know precisely no one in this city so I'm terrified this will be an exercise in humiliation

I'm in Toronto!
And more significantly, I am on a chalkboard!
Thanks @bakkaphoenix.bsky.social !

Any bookish, speculative fiction folks around #toronto tomorrow? Please stop by because I am nervous as hell.

I bought one of these for my very first date ~1996 !!
