one of my worldcon highlights was meeting @shortficbookclub.bsky.social irl. They jumpscared me with nametag pins w/ different Dave variations (from Day Ten Thousand!!), including one for me, and it was the MOST delightful surprise. (also, a wild @tiatashiro.bsky.social in the flesh in the selfie)

"your" name is Dave
