Delightful time at our first @guildmedmak.bsky.social workshop tonight with the incredible @15thcgossipgirl.bsky.social who taught us some strategies and techniques for mining jokes from our scholarly interests. Much giggling ensued (and occasionally bled over into outright cackles of glee)!

Keynotes for GMS26 are @hellomizk.bsky.social @pilgrimteresa.bsky.social @mirabelledomine.bsky.social @lukeewalker.bsky.social. Sessions incl traditional papers, lightning talks, roundtable, creative showcase & exhibition. Please note there will be *no* parallel sessions, so fewer slots than usual.
