So... I get home from Pheno, have a couple of days to almost recover, and then jump into three days of Pax Aus. I may need to declare BlueSky Bankruptcy again. :)
I am at Pax Aus. It is awesome. I am also exhausted. That bit is not awesome.
I am declaring bluesky bankruptcy. I have been away for six days and not kept up with bluesky, and do not have the spoons to catch up, so I'm not going to scroll back and look at anything, unless someone points it out to me. However, Pheno was absolutely awesome.

PAUL: What’s in the box? REVEREND MOTHER: Pain. [PAUL hesitantly puts his hand in the BOX, then FROWNS IN CONFUSION. He pulls out A BAGUETTE.] REVEREND MOHER: Hōn hōn,
Reminder: it is currently September 11 here in Aus, expect the internet to get horrible (well, more horrible) over the new 24 to 48 hours. Ugh!
I find it interesting that nobody is at the felon's convention but there are reports Grindr is still experiencing higher than average traffic around it. How many 'attendees' told their wives "No, hun. I gotta go!" then never arranged tickets, just the hotel rooms. I hope sex workers are making BANK.
Trying to think of what to post for Star Trek’s 60th anniversary but I post about Star Trek a lot already so just enjoy Worf wearing jeans
I spent the last 2 weekends making this Tiffany style lampshade from scratch. It’s not perfect but I think it’s beautiful.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.
