If you weren’t there this weekend, trust people asked after you, wished you were in their company. Absences were noted.

💕💸 Apartment complex is bundling months again, so I'm just gonna try to get ahead of this now so it doesn't eat into our food budget. Any bit helps! CA is $Kobanyakana ko-fi.com/kobanya/goal...

I’ll post some photos from this weekend soon. But I’m taking a long bath first.

…everyone’s left and I have con blu— New Game +?? Fuck me upppp.

And, truthfully, contrary to it seeming like I didn’t have a good wekend, I did. I think my big emotions around this weekend are a lot around wanting to see creative spaces of mutual motivation. Way more for the love of it all than any sort of actual dislike or disdain.

That was the day I needed. Between today and my floortime with @ssambrose.bsky.social yesterday, my soul’s pretty set.

My 75yr old South Philly neighbour knew was Pax was and invited me to come over for a game night sometime.

I’m at the “kindly get the fuck out of my city” point of Pax.

I’m home.

This weekend reaffirmed that I want to make weird beautiful faggot art with a hand few of people I fuck with and not be everybody’s mutual.

The false sense of hierarchy in these spaces is so funny sometimes.

Also, if you see me weaving in and out of the crowd like a ferret, do yell at me to stop. I don’t realise how fast I’m walking when I’m trying to get somewhere.

I’m rinsed after today. Home in bed. Back to the con hall by 10 tomorrow, work, then I’d really like to hang out with people.

I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, I know you’ll be a star, In somebody else’s sky, Why-hyy Why-hyyy Whyyyy-hyyy-hyyy…

Here’s another pearl you can take from this weekend. You need to consume to create. Take interest in what your peers are creating, to be curious, want your contemporaries to run pace beside you. Consume their work.

I feel pretty good about what all I got done today. I’m back with @manyworldstavern.bsky.social tomorrow morning. Stop by, grab some beans, tell me I’m hot.

More of you need to go work a couple weeks in a restaurant or retail.

Up early to gig.

“Are you going to the Big Gay Dinner?” I actually don’t think people know I’m gay, so.

Idk about you all but I was on South Street adding to my own local mythology.

From now on, only introduce me as “Resident and No. 1 John Fetterman hater, Lis.”

Tonight wasn’t even the start. We’ve got three more days ahead! I nearly cried several times tonight seeing some of you in person, people I didn’t know had traveled in. If I was too overstimulated tonight to carry a conversation, I’m hoping to remedy that the rest of the weekend.

It’s a little jarring seeing a gay bar you used sneak into under age full of nerds you only just realised occupied a third dimension.

So, who are we going to see at PAXU? Look for @holloworange.bsky.social, @thecandacemarie.bsky.social, and @potaytayto.bsky.social on the floor, and keep an eye on our Instagram for cast takeovers and giveaways all weekend!

Good of some of you to have brought the sun to Philly!

I’m running some laundry, I’m getting a breakfast taco, and then I’m going to pick up my badge. Say hey if you see me out. I’m blonde now.

Solange Knowles’ Saint Heron has launched a free digital archival library of literature by Black and brown authors, poets, and artists. Readers can borrow rare and out-of-print books for up to 45 days

Whenever any form of government becomes destructive at these ends, it is the right of the People to either alter or abolish it, and to establish a new one.

The president is calling for members of Congress to be executed. Also known as Thursday.

"Despite a ceasefire taking effect on October 10, Israeli attacks have continued, killing hundreds of Palestinians ... According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 46 children have been killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire." Doesn't sound like a ceasefire when the oppressor keeps killing.

There’s a karaoke piano bar by 254, that’s all I’m saying right now. Until I’m in your ear at 12am tomorrow convincing you to follow me.

As an Elisabeth who had Scarlet Fever and nearly died as a child, this is all very exhausting. And not just because my immune system is severely weakened.

Thanks to the amazing @shellyvonmiller.bsky.social we get the opportunity to do a panel the day before Pax U. Join @madnessdiamond.bsky.social , @sailorsctaustin.bsky.social and myself for a little monster fuckery at @queenrook.bsky.social in Philly!

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Hey, folks. With Bas being let go, we’re behind on some stuff since we’re down a decent chunk of income. Any help is highly appreciated. ko-fi.com/monroeroe

“I can’t make this any worse.” And then I closed the mailbox.

What’s going on Friday night?

Raleigh, NC

I still need some help with this! Out of pocket fees are running around $80 and I get paid next week, I’ll even pay someone back if that’s what it takes

MY PAX UNPLUGGED SCHEDULE: Sunday 330 pm MOTHMAN That is all

some samples of headshots I did for some game prep.

Every interaction I just had running errands was wholesome and nice as fuck. Yeah, passing maintenance guy who can’t get ahold of anyone home, you CAN have my coffee. If you lean into the bits Philly offers, they’re really rewarding.

WHAT HO!!! Come play Dread with me on Friday November 21st at noon in the Winged Bull Tavern! I’m beyond excited to work with these fantastic talents 😍😍😍 don’t like scary stuff? Choose another excellent Guildmaster’s session and don’t miss a moment of fun!

Help other buddies first, but if you want to sling me a coffee this weekend, both my will and my wallet consent. I’m taking pto and gigging extra this weekend but far from being comfy with some bleak news we got this week regarding compensation. venmo.com/u/ElisabethM...

Me right now in South Philly.

I spent most of my early teens cheating the time constraints on my parent’s computer so that I could get back to a text-based roleplay chatroom that started as a Sailor Moon fan group. It didn’t end as that. I have a composition notebook FULL of those chats.

“Quiet, Piggy” would be fitting for his tombstone.
