People's attention is drifting away, partly because ICE told everyone they were leaving (FYI: they're still here) and partly just because ... people get tired of stories and want to move on.
I get it. We're also, frankly, tired of this story. But it's not actually over here.
Aw yay!!! 🧡🧡
I got to narrate a gorgeous story by @aimeeogdenwrites.com for BCS this month! Go listen!!

A 4-panel comic labeled Today's Accomplishments. In panel 1, there is a small smiley blocky creature and the caption "comb hair". Panel 2, the same creature and the caption "get dressed." Panel 3, they are angry, surrounded by flames, and the caption says "be violently enraged by world news." Panel 4 they are smiling again and the caption says "smell a flower"
Sadly evergreen
Frodo: I wish so much unbelievably stupid shit had not happened in my time Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. This is all exceptionally stupid, though
Oooh fingers crossed!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennett by @lindzmcleod.bsky.social ! Delighted there are going to be more f/f Austen stories coming (I am already wondering who's on the list after the forthcoming Caroline Bingley/ Georgiana Darcy book (cannot wait) 😀 😀)
Oh wonderful!!! She's so good. Glad you enjoyed the poem excerpts!!
I did a thread with photos from my walk this morning, using my old point-and-shoot camera. I used to use my iPhone for this purpose, but the latest iOS update has rendered the camera UNUSABLE because I cannot disable the overprocessing and the images it generates are garbage.
Fyi local writers! I'm gonna discuss interactive fiction tonight for @wilwrite.bsky.social in Vancouver and on zoom! #writing #class
Yayyyyyy!!!! So happy to see this up at Steph's house!! ❤️🤖😺❤️
Loved narrating this wonderful crow-filled story!

Yesterday had one kid trying to make bean custard at 3am and the other one letting their slugs roam free on yogurt bucket lids while they cleaned the salad-bowl-habitat but TODAY all children are back in school. (Slugs are still at home.)
This would work well for me as a presenter because I'm always worried I'm going to mess up someone's name, no matter how many pronunciation notes I've made !
Yes! !!
Brandon's fabulous reading of his gorgeous poem (about at the 1:48:30 mark on the second link) was one of my favorite moments at Worldcon this weekend!
