Speaking of @canconsffh.bsky.social , last year's starter pack for panelists, vendors and volunteeers was popular, so I made a new one for this year. Please tell me if you're on programming or helping out with Can*Con this year and would like to be added, or if you'd like to be removed.

So, not-so-hypothetically, if you were going to come see @premeemohamed.com and me "in conversation", what would you want us to converse about?

Cancelled my audible subscription this morning - the last bit of Amazon’s hooks in me - in favour of Libro.fm audiobooks. This way I still have lots of books to listen to (between them & my library), but I can support the wonderful @bakkaphoenix.bsky.social with my account. #TinyJoys
