Hey friends! A reminder: if you're contacting me in my capacity as a convention staffer, please email me. My Twitter DMs don't provide the coverage and redundancy that my convention email addresses do, and don't feed into the workflows set up to get messages answered promptly.

I've been documenting this waistcoat build over on Mastodon (where I'm [email protected]). Here's a photo dump of converting shoulder darts to ease. instagram.com/p/CohhUiKuhmX/…

I'm LeeFlowerH on Instagram and [email protected] on mastodon. If you're looking for a wandering shop invite and we're mutuals here, DM me. Folks can follow each other across servers, but our "local" timeline is full of friendly SFF folks.

We're currently invite only because of capacity, but our sysadmins did some infrastructure improvements and tuning last week and the server has been pretty stable since

[CW Cancer] Hey writer-friends, Mishell Baker asked me to let y’all know that she would appreciate your prayers (if you’re the praying type), good vibes, and well-wishes. In about two hours, she has surgery to remove a bunch of cancer from her innards. 1/7

Further update from Mishell: "I am home from surgery, but surgery was extensive, and I am in a rough part of recovery, mostly staying in bed. Friendly emails appreciated; it's nice to read about good things that are going on in others' lives, and to feel loved and appreciated."

The fussiest step of clay reclamation: when it's thick enough to pour the water off the top and not run when poured, I spread it out on centerboard sheets and let it firm up to workable. #Ceramics instagram.com/p/CkmXW_7jzcS/…
A recent Dr. Nerdlove article just reminded me of that time Jonathan Coulton wrote a sympathetic song about a boy sexually harassing a classmate and then fantasizing about taking over the world so he could rape her and folks treated it like a nerd anthem

Years ago I wrote a parody of it from Laura's perspective, in which she fantasized about growing up to become a feminist hacker who could protect herself and others from stalker creeps like the narrator of the original; I think it's still on my hard drive somewhere

Anyway I should log off before someone accuses me of trying to cancel Jonathan Coulton in the last days of twitter. My actual point is if you're a dude who thinks women unfairly think you're a repulsive creep because of your hobbies...it's not because of your hobbies.

Replying to @LeeFlower
The 2000s were a weird time to be a lady-type nerd because, like, I finally felt like I was “allowed” to have nerdy interests without being bullied, but the community was so openly hostile to people like me in ways that I couldn’t even describe at the time – at Seattle, WA

So last year, I did jury for SFF category at Lambda Literary's Lammys. I was shcoked and awed by some of the books that weren't included in my packet. If you are Queer or your work has largely Queer content, talk to your publisher about submitting to the Lammys. It's important.
