Lovely and inspiring weekend at @norwescon.org! Great panels, workshops, and of course, friends.
Already looking forward to next year, but for now it’s time to unpack the bags and join this pile of cats.

@camdenscorner.bsky.social’s April Fools prank is the gift that keeps giving. Almost two weeks and I’m still finding googly eyes…

I swear these cats are real!
They look like AI slop because they are so ridiculously snuggly that they merge into one four-eared eight-legged cat.
Corvus, on the bottom, is not so sure about this arrangement, but Orion is quite pleased.

Never did I wish for a button that would write the next paragraph for me. Using the disabled community as an excuse for taking GenAI money is a bad faith argument.
I've sent the attached to fundraising@nanowrimo.org today. Please feel free to use any part as a template if you feel the same. (2/2)

Snuck off for a weekend in British Columbia to see Killer Verse at Delta Literary Arts. Exciting to see @camdenscorner.bsky.social’s work featured!
Bonus, found a box of maple syrup-flavored tissues to bring the scent of Canada home with us.
(Sadly no poutine-scented ones, must have been sold out)
