100% my experience too And the phrase I say and hear the most (sometimes after swearing) - “How can I help?” And that attribute is life giving. @dublin2029.bsky.social will be super special because of everyone who helps build it.

The Worldcon community is one of the most welcoming and diverse I’ve ever encountered. I’ve met people from all over the world, each bringing their own kind of brilliance - whether it’s creativity, knowledge, or a generosity of spirit (or all 3).

We’ve been out asking our volunteers what it is they enjoy about volunteering, and why they’ve decided to join the Dublin team. Shiela is part of Bid Enablement team, who are making sure everything’s running smoothly and keeping us all on track 🫶

A photo of Shiela sitting in the grass. She is a white woman with shoulder length brown hair, and is sat side on to the camera, looking off to the left of frame. She is wearing a baseball tshirt with black sleeves and the Dublin 2029 artwork on it. There is a black silhouetted figure walking over a black bridge. The bridge arcs through a portal towards a green moon-like planet. Blue abstract shapes surround the portal. The logo has a black frame with circles cut-out through it and say ‘Dublin 2029’ vertically on the right side of the frame.

We’re not saying a Dublin 2029 Worldcon would solve all problems…but it certainly wouldn’t hurt! Support the bid from €20, or go full overachiever with Friend or Super-Friend status! You can also volunteer to lend a hand and help us pull off something properly legendary! ☘️ dublin2029.ie 🇮🇪

A photo of 2 green plushie dragons sat on a bollard outside the CCD . One is wearing a brown fabric wizard hat, a Glasgow 2024 tartan scarf, and a badge for Dublin 2029. The other is wearing the Glasgow 2024 Pride badge. The building has a curved and angled glass front and there are potted trees around it.

Meg’s sense and inhibitions are clearly melting in this heat, but you should definitely check out the deals she’s offering. And not just because it helps @dublin2029.bsky.social Who knows, you might see promises from me in the future as well, if this keeps up.

Dr. Meg MacDonald@megintransition.bsky.social · last mo.

So super super important question/ call to action for your all- Have you supported @dublin2029.bsky.social yet? Presupports are how bids become cons. Assuming it will just happen doesn't make it happen. If you haven't then I will make a deal with you... dublin2029.ie?fbclid=IwY2x...

How to turn this into a ribbon? “Really janky fun”? “I 🩵💙 really janky things”? For anyone unaware, I am one of the co-chairs bidding to bring Worldcon back to Dublin - @dublin2029.bsky.social - so I can vouch we’re putting a lot of time and effort into this janky, volunteer-run piece of my heart.

John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 3mo ago

As far as I know no other organization does it the way Worldcon does because a) Worldcon is fundamentally a fan organization, not a guild or governing body, b) it's a really janky way to run things and no one today would set out to do it this way. This is what organic fandom development looks like.

We’d like to give an extra congratulations to all the Irish finalists and those associated with our bid that were nominated for this year’s Hugo Awards, ahead of voting opening tomorrow!
