the further we get out from the Hugo award ceremony without the longlist, the more 🤨 i get about what could possibly take so long

Hey, I have had a largely great experience at Worldcon, but the #Hugos owe @wordsiren.bsky.social an apology for forgetting to include her in the announced Lodestar nominees during the award ceremony. Kamilah deserved celebration, not this blatant disrespect.

take a shot every time the hugo award announcers mispronounce a name 💀

whose great idea was it to wake up at 4:30am for the hugo awards (me it was mine)

lol

if i had a nickel for every time my nosy scrolling unearthed something about Seattle Worldcon and related Hugo Award nominees i’d have two nickels, and it’s really weird it has happened twice

thinking about how i had the privilege of watching the Sword Lesbians: Discuss panel at Worldcon last year compared to whatever the hell is going on with Seattle

anyway here’s half a dozen or so books with strong female characters which also happen to be raucously queer

maybe i am glad i can’t go to worldcon this year because what the hell is going on here

to speak Star Wars with me you must have completed two of three: 1) name five droids 2) played Star Wars: Outlaws 3) seen season 7 of Clone Wars

it’s soooo embarrassing being chronically ill sometimes. like, oh why am i in pain? coughed so much i’m building abs

METAL FROM HEAVEN FINALLY GETTING ITS WELL DESERVED RECOGNITION I WON!!!!!!

like call me old fashioned but i’d never admit to using the lazy bastard stealing machine to write an email as a best selling author, that was trained on your own works but, y’know, do you

GET READY TO BE SICK OF ME

not to worry, they only fed names into the steals everything for the ouroboros machine for the science fiction and fantasy convention

naw i cannae even write jokes anymore they keep writing themselves

like can we also talk about how weird it is these are attached to a kids book series, beyond the elephant in the room. it’s WEIRD to sell your sold into sexual slavery romance based on its link to kid characters

as it turns out i have many feelings about the hugo awards this year itskindofthatdeep.substack.com/p/on-the-202...

you all didn’t ask for it! announcing the inaugural wahugo awards for peeved voters, a place to have your say on the best SFF that did not make it into the hugo shortlists nominations will be open until the 16th of april, and the shortlist will be announced soon after forms.gle/xf2Adx9nnFSQ...

no, you had such a visceral reaction to the Hugo shortlists you are now running a Wahugo award with your friends

that hugo’s shortlist is a joke, right? the real one is coming later, right?

the phenomenon of people bringing their shetland pony sized dogs into the smallest shops must be studied

sunrise on the reaping, alternatively titled did we really need Hume x Haymitch crossover fic?

The Dawnhounds by Sasha Stronach is on sale for $4.99 at libro and I'm obsessed with this book and its sequel so basically screaming BUY IT at everyone I know (and all y'all) libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

Hugo voters, I’d love it if you’d consider my short spec-fic for the short story category! Content warnings for mild environmental and body horror. 🌱 www.sanspress.com/the-archive-... #HugoAwards

nooooo discord can’t be down how am i supposed to entertain my friends with cringe humour now

Guess who's in a book!? Me! My story is a queer weird delight of coming into oneself and being afraid of what that means. AND there are 20 other stories in there too! "Where do I get it?" I hear you cry. Calm down, here's a link: midnight-indigo.com/products/ebo... #booksky #blackbooksky

have reached the critical mass point of my bookshelves where they 100% need everything taken off for a complete reorganise

storm prep involves finally buying a torch and rewarding yourself with an entire tiramisu, naturally

it’s dangerous to go alone! take this! [hands lego banana identification chart]

“i can’t wait to sit down and watch Arcane now i have finally got a Netflix subscription for a wee while,” i say, unaware that my tv will immediately brick itself

everyone sharing their end of year wrap ups but i, the lone wolf, am convinced i will read a bajillion books this hogmanay

i have accidentally gained a reply guy on tiktok over robbie williams who is determined i cannot name ten french artists as some sort of gotcha defensiveness over not knowing the greatest pop star in the world and man, i’ve missed squabbling online

what better way to close out the year than a good old fashioned hater review! if you want to watch me lose my mind over Heavenly Tyrant, look no further www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

you’re saying a robbie williams monkeyed this man

no, YOU spent boxing day reading ur least anticipated book of the year for it only to be unfathomably worse than ur expectations

i love feigning surprise at cultural differences between the us and the uk like i’ve never heard them before. lemme rev up my “you don’t do boxing day 😮”

today, the one day each year where your family shows you memes you have to studiously pretend you have not seen yet

this december as a month is a violent reminder not everyone knows about robbie williams or pantomime

down with a severe case of nosy bastarditis, what a way to go
