Smashing the space patriarchy one novel at a time. Amy, Haley, & Lori talk. Kevin edits. Lori posts here.

I'll be tending bar at the Edmonton Bid Party at LACon tonight at 7:30, Hilton 5-124. Come by for a Bloody Caesar. Screwdrivers available for the Clamato averse. But you should just get the Caesar.

A few more days to vote in the hugos! Don’t forget the fan categories! We work hard to celebrate the community and I really appreciate all the fans who create! My Tiara Tuesdays are for bringing joy to people in a small way which is why I keep doing it. 300 tiaras later I still love it 👑❤️

Ok fun fact! Some time last month, we passed 100,000 all-time downloads! Thanks to everyone who's listened and supported us over the years 🥰 When we started the show in 2019, we never imagined our book goofing would find such a great community!
