Kicked off #WorldCon by staying up too late and filling my vampiric heart at Nine Inch Nails.

I've arrived at #LTUE 2025! My bags have not, but we're rolling with it. Tomorrow I'm on a panel about wild foods at 11 am. Can't wait to talk about plants, ecosystems, and worldbuilding. Hopefully I'll even have clean clothes to wear to it!

Currently Reading: Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, M.R. James.

Picked this one up at the library book sale in early October, with nothing to go by but the cover.
