Just gonna lay out my Election Season strategy here, so if anyone isn't on board they can eject now:

I am going to have fun. I live in dystopian fucking Alabama and WE'RE ALL EXHAUSTED DOWN HERE, so I want the energy brought by jokes & joy.

I'll be blocking folks who ruin the vibe.

OH MY GOD Y'ALL!!!! WE DID IT!!!!

Truly unbelievably grateful and emotional to see this number.

This may be the best "How it Started, How It's Going" of my life.

Thank you, y'all, for helping us make this happen.

Under no circumstances should you fuck with romancelandia.

Ok, I'm committed to not going catatonic.
I've said this before, and I'll no doubt say it many more times between now and November.

I want people freaked out enough to do the work, not so freaked out they go catatonic. If we do the work, we'll win.
Really good points. I just wish Trump didn't outperform the polls both times he was on the ballot in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

If accurate, everyone involved should be deeply ashamed and never allowed anywhere near a Hugo ceremony ever again. This is appalling, embarrassing and an absolute abdication of duty. They should have all resigned instead of becoming willing censors. Apologies are owed those removed from the ballot.
For the last few weeks I've been working with Chris Barkley @cmzhang42.bsky.social of @file770.bsky.social on a report about censorship in the 2023 Hugo Awards.

Leaked emails and files indicate authors and works deemed “not eligible” for the awards were removed due to political considerations. 1/3

Getting this weekly newsletter from Courtney is one of the highlights of my week. I will never be the connoisseur of tea that she is, but the peek into that world is delightful.
It’s a tea-salting extravaganza! In order to further strain US/UK tea-making relationships, this newsletter A/B tests the addition of salt to nine teas in total.

I have been busy!

I was driving this morning and saw a car with a temporary tag, with the expiration date of 02302024.
I guess this year is extra leapy.

My husband followed Bree on twitter because I kept showing him him her dogs. I'm so happy Del and Lyra are here now!
Today I realized I've used twitter as a repository for all my best doggo pix for a long time, so I'm saving a bunch of them. But I'm gonna repost my favs over here, so please excuse the puppy spam thread. Starting with the day we got LYRA. (Oct 25th, 2017... she's 6 this year!!!!)

AI is indeed spicy auto-complete. Think about how many times autocomplete fucks up your sentences, now apply it to entire paragraphs and whole subject, complete with a mansplain-y tone of unwarranted authority, and you've got the situation well understood.
I once heard it described as spicy auto-complete and never really recovered.

Can't wait for this book to be out!!
Donna & I are mostly laying low for the rest of the year, but we will be emerging from our dragon cave to celebrate the release of CONSORT OF FIRE with these rockstars!
