ugh! i will never understand why people here in the fediverse post their long-form thoughts in myriad little 120 character chains of replies to replies to replies... is this just a habit from your past/other social networks? are you just copy/pasting your thoughts here after posting to those other social networks? it this cool/trendy for some reason? are you trying to maximize clicks on your content...?

only two weeks between #worldcon and #dragoncon

explaining to the team back home about #worldcon. they're actually, collectively, the most fannish lot i've worked with, but worldcon (and the world science fiction society), aren't as much on the average fan's radar as, say, the various comic cons... which is too bad in some (but not all) ways...

i somehow hadn’t heard of the torment nexus until this weekend at #worldcon but it’s popped up frequently including in editor Neil Clarke’s hugo acceptance speech—in which he likened it to generative ai and the shit ton of content he’s had to wade through to do his job as a result of it…

i love craft and maker panels as much as just about anything. for this one, i seriously regret not having a notepad…

#worldcon

city of angels pipe band—in town for the international piping festival—performing for an audience at #worldcon. also, that blue sky…!

#worldcon

on a separate note, why am i discovering all of the things that don’t work with #ktistec while i am away!?! fetching just stopped for a few hashtags I follow…!
