I’m at the Tucson book festival this weekend (March 14-15)!
Make Hugo nominations! You can make a huge difference in someone's life by doing so.
Looks like at some point it was divided into a rooming situation, if the sink placement is anything to go by. I wonder if it used to be a brothel.

May I offer you a trio of little baby faces in these trying times?

That's some baby behavior right there

Digital gouache painting Constable Earstripe from T.Kingfisher‘s Saint of Steel Series. He is a gnole (essentially, badgerfolk), and is bipedal and clad in leather armour and carrying a spear.
Constable Earstripe. I’m currently reading the „Saint of Steel“ series by T. Kingfisher. It has romance, hilarity, absurdity, horror, and badgerfolk, a.k.a. gnoles!
I’m also working on a gouache brushset for Procreate, which this was made with. =)

A frankly majestic fluffy tricolour Pembroke corgi sits in front of a white-blossomed tree (probably hawthorn), and gazes off into the middle distance like a haircare model.

I say this as someone who's very open about my CSA. I'm a peer counselor for other people in the same boat, I'm an advocate for children going to trial to put their abusers in jail because I lived through that as a kid.
I would *still* not have been okay with some rando asshat telling a room full.
Seanan is too nice. If you find a website that includes 'abuse', don't fucking mention it at all because it's firmly NUNYA! Not only did this motherfucker upset the person he was speaking about, he possibly triggered others in the audience. He deserved a swift kick in the balls.
HOLY SHIT WTF MATE
HE DESERVED A SWIFT, IMMEDIATE KICK STRAIGHT IN THE BALLS!
WHAT THE ABSOLUE FUCK?! Granted you're pretty open about it but I screech again WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK?! That is not something you just ANNOUNCE to a ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE!
Holy fuck, Seanan, I haven't finished the thread but I hope you kicked him right in the BALLS!
CW: CSA mentioned, bad moderator behavior.
Okay, so.
I had a book come out yesterday (BUTTERFLY EFFECTS, available now from a bookstore near you), and as is often the case, I went out last night to promote it. Bookstore event, whee.
‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’
‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’
‘Hello’ is not related to either.
Goodbye.
