“Mankind will reach maturity on the day it learns to value diversity —of life and ideas. ... The worst thing that could happen is for all of us to look and think and act alike.” — Gene Roddenberry I'm guessing Pauline Hanson is no fan of #StarTrek. #auspol #diversity #multiculturalism

If you join as a Superfriend**, I will write them out on nice paper/card and post them to you! www.dublin2029.ie **and you give me your address. Otherwise I will post them online only. Supports make bids possible, which lets us build conventions - only through working together do we succeed.

More, if you join as a Friend* from today through Friday 14th, I will write a calligraphic snippet of some of my favourite Irish song lyrics and post them online for you. dublin2029.ie *if you want me to thank you or tag you I’ll need you to give permission & contact info.

All going well, in three years’ time we will be celebrating together at @dublin2029.bsky.social (2-6 August 2029). In honour of that, an offer for you! It would be great to have you join us as a Supporter of the bid! But if you can go above and beyond…. dublin2029.ie

Finally, my @laworldcon.bsky.social / #WorldCon schedule! Thanks again to WorldCon for choosing me for the Community Fund, as that is the only way I'm able to attend. See you in Anaheim in a few weeks!

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

We help sponsor the artist reception at Worldcon and this year is no exception. The reception is Friday August 28 at 19:00 pdt in the Art Show.

My #Glasgow2024 artwork "Jellyfish Over The Clyde" graces the cover of the latest issue of #Foundation magazine, which is lovely.

Proof that F152 exists - with a little treat for current UK members.

Slooowly perusing the Worldcon event list, and there are over 1,600 of them to choose from. 😮 And so many of them overlap! This is definitely one of those times I wish I had a time machine. 🙃

WorldCon schedules are up! Come listen to me talk about being queer and fighting (in fiction) (but also IRL)

I can't GO to Worldcon in LA later this month, but I'll still be there! Catch me online (UK time) for two writing workshops (each nearly 90 minutes long), a talk on how cottage gardens are based on baloney history & a table talk where we can chat about writing to your heart's content! lacon.org

📜 THE CALL TO ADVENTURE 📜 A great quest is on the horizon and Dublin needs your help to make it a reality!! ⚔️📚✨ Our team is working to bring Worldcon 2029 to Dublin, but every great adventure needs a fellowship behind it

In a grand feat of Sci-Fi trickery I will be at Worldcon while not at Worldcon (ie, Virtual Worldcon). I'm doing a workshop, a table talk, a reading and a couple of panels, which I am REALLY excited about. Here's where you can find me.

Worldcon is coming up in just over 3 weeks! I will be one of seven Guests of Honor (Ronald Moore, Colleen Doran, Dr. Anita Sengupta, Tim Kirk , Stan Sakai, and Geri Sullivan, Ursula Vernon as Toastmaster.) Anaheim Convention Center (and the Hilton Hotel near-by), August 27-31.

Dear device friends, you are cordially invited to join Elsie's 8th birthday celebratory livestream on Monday, August 3 at 9:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM PT. Find us here: www.instagram.com/elsiewants

Hope people come out for the Worldcon panel "Acceptable Casualties: Military SFF's Empathy Deficit" at 1:30 on Friday, August 28. Going to be real here: this is a panel that I wrote and worked to ensure was on the schedule for @laworldcon.bsky.social. guide.lacon.org/id/8c39bae9-...

I'm attending my first-ever World Con this year at @laworldcon.bsky.social (virtually! Couldn't swing the time off.) and I'm honored to be part of the programming! Pro tips for virtual attendees to get the most out of it?

Hear ye, Worldcon folk! Come do my @thewritesong.co.uk writing-to-music workshop, listen to a live @strangehorizons.bsky.social podcast recording, or any of my four (4) panels - two on anime, one on theatre, one on Worldcon itself 🤩 It'll be a hoot! guide.lacon.org/people/dcf93...
