I've been absent for the last couple weeks. Partly to have some space from the news cycle and partly because my life temporarily became a Bollywood movie complete with drama, spontaneity, music and many many wedding parties 🙃

Every single thing we warned would happen is happening or has happened. You can see why Cassandra was not exactly a model of mental health.

"What radicalized you?"
Probably hearing "Oh, so you're not really American?" again and again when they found out my mom was an immigrant and I was born in a different country.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

Don't let them steal your joy, those moments where you find it are more important than ever.
Those moments are what will carry you through while you fight for what's right. 💜

so hey, not to be That Guy, but remember how SFF fans called for a boycott of Chengdu Worldcon on the basis of the CCP’s actions in Xinjiang and China potentially not being safe for certain authors? are we going to have a similar discussion about Seattle Worldcon given the circumstances, or -?

What Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde did by speaking up directly in that room is important. Not because we think they'll change their mind or opinion (they won't).

Gaslighting is only one tool they'll use. They'll also use a lot of shock & bang type actions. (There is a better word that's escaping me right now)
In this case, you'll have the justifiable shocking action (the Nazi salute) masking the bang (the Executive orders and reconfiguring the government).

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Don't let them gaslight you. It was what you thought it was. It was no accident.
Yes that was a Nazi salute.

My BFF and I are going to have our own book club this year and we are just going to be reading books where women are here to watch it all burn (and then save the world).
So if that's a book you wrote let me know 😂

So I am German, my mom was born and grew up in Berlin. My Oma lived through WWII. We both heard so many stories from that time.
In 2015/2016 we were worried. Today we are worried. Please do not ever stop questioning what you will be hearing going forward & build love in your community.

There are times when I question my ASD diagnosis all over again and begin to doubt it.
Then I put on a shirt that has the *wrong* collar and it drives me crazy to the point SO notices and asks if something is wrong. 🙃

You don't have to read the Vulture piece on Gaiman. Not to be able to engage in the discourse. Not to "honor" the experiences of his victims. You, a person without the power to effect meaningful justice against this abuser, do not need to apologize for being unable to do so by traumatizing yourself.

I do have 3 or 4 short stories I've been sitting on for awhile. Maybe 2025 is the year I start seriously querying them.
