"Cultural appropriation includes people positioning otherness as exotic, high-priced consumables that contribute to white people's wellness. To quote a thing I wrote in a story: I am so, so tired of being eaten." --Amal El-Mohtar

Four burst pipes.
Mended now. Waiting for the nice man to come and make a new ceiling…and floor for Bastian’s room…and the studio…and the guest room.
I’m focusing on getting the child through the rest of the day to bed so I can crawl into a hole and cry.
So that’s me atm.
Hey so TOTALLY UNRELATED to the sudden gaping hole in my house…
Now would just be an incredibly super awesome time to subscribe to my Patreon or Substack…
Just saying…no reason.

One very clever thing #readercon2021 did was have main panel rooms in discord, and then a dedicated hallway chat for each room, so that while another panel takes over the main space, you can move the chat to the hallway. (@CrossingsCon did a similar thing using Gather.)
