A reminder that this Saturday I will be at @sequential-scot.bsky.social Find me at Table 33 I am coming by train and so while I will have all my stock, it will be in limited supplies (basically, what I can carry!) so let me know if there is anything you want me to reserve!

If you're still on Substack, you're helping platform fascists and their enthusiastic minions, such as Bari Weiss, whom they actively partnered with just before her move to CBS. Go check out @buttondown.com and @ghost.org instead. You can even migrate yours subscribers and subscriptions!
s. e. smith@sesmith.lol · 3d agoWhat if instead of starting substacks in twenty-fucking-twenty-six people learned to give one iota of a fuck about whether they want to associate themselves with nazis.
Made it home, Suki was very happy to see me, had to take her for a walk. Case emptied and in the loft. Time for a shower.
Made it to Edinburgh, need to sit around for a wee bit before I get my train back to the Kingdom
Sitting in Preston right now still probably about 3 and half hours till I am safely back in Turnbull Towers
On the first of my two trains home, case stored, only a mild hernia as a result. Now to avoid the post TFN comedown/crash/crying session.
Not speaking ill of the dead is how Jimmy Saville got something approaching a state funeral.
The most vital thank you is to our own Sarah Bullock. There is a wonderful mentality in the team of if something needs done, we get it done. That can often be at the expense of self care. Meals are skipped/sleep avoided. Sarah keeps us in check and if need be will escort us out of the hall to eat.
At the bar last night, when talking ideas for a future events, after a suggestion had been made, I looked it into it further. My words were "Fuck me there's a lot of admin needed for this." At which point @billystripes.bsky.social eyes lit up.

Andrew Turnbull@adtcomics.bsky.social · 2w agoWhich one of you is going to have the minerals to outbid me on this. Cos you know how much I love Geoff and how much I tolerate @nickroche.bsky.social. Alt text gives you all you need to know to try and prise this from my ideal hands. Mind now, reskeet/repost don't just like it. Do both.
Everyone involved in this project deserves the worst unending punishment.
Dr. Erika Graham-Goering@jeanneologist.bsky.social · last wk.'Anthropic described the project as “our effort to disruptively scan all the world’s books” in an internal memo, which noted “we do not want it to be known that we are pursuing this project”.'
We know it can be quite overwhelming and confusing at any convention when you see multiple queues, and don’t know which one you need! We’ve put together this quick visual guide to help anyone who’s unsure. tfnation.com/blog/co... #TFNat10n #TFNation #Transformers
