Mermaid who loves Halloween. Thought Bubble Red Shirt. Personal account. (She/Her)
Another amazing year volunteering at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social !
As always, the red shirt crew is a delight to be with, and I caught up with exhibitor friends too, but I also debuted new headwear and met some brilliant creators along the way.
What a weekend!

Isn’t it strange how the vital culture-saving crusade of sticking flags on lampposts seems to have slowed down since the nights started drawing in and it got a bit rainy?

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Only one cat has ever received the award.
