Hello friends, we made a Discord server since the demise of the other site and the horrors of FB have made it tough to just chat about books. Comment or DM if you'd like an invite link!

When we griped to each other after SF trivia at dragoncon that the questions included basically no women, a (seemingly well-intended) guy said sthg like "oh shucks that's old SF for ya" and 1) it wasn't "OLD" SF trivia and 2) Octavia, Ursula, Kate, Vonda, Alice, Sheri, Anne...

Got one!! Thank you all!!!

Your favorite podcast grandma recently lost a leather bookmark she got in Ireland 30 years ago on a trip with her father. She is so, so sad about it. Hoping to replace it for her, but I've scoured the Internet with no luck so far. Anybody got any ideas? Similar to the ones in the photo (sold out 😓)

Always a pleasant surprise that y'all enjoy this! 🐾 @rudie54.bsky.social put in an extra lot of work on this one. Seattle has a LOT of dogs!

My children!! 😍

At Dragoncon, I was absolutely delighted that @robertpicardo.bsky.social was the MC for the Dragon Awards. He was funny and charming, and took great care with the pronunciation of everyone's names. And he had this really neat trick for when he didn't know how to pronounce a name

And here's where to find Kevin! @rudie54.bsky.social

Come see Amy at ArmadilloCon! @hugeiftrue.bsky.social

Well this was certainly a movie we just watched 😅

Come see us at ArmadilloCon! Check out the schedule here: panels.armadillocon.org/ko/

I mean, if it's free...😅

When someone shows you who they are...🙃

I should have said the thing that's different - guest hosts! Thanks to @rudie54.bsky.social, @erewok.bsky.social (co-host of @picturemecoding.bsky.social), and Stephen (favorite brother of @hugeiftrue.bsky.social - is he on here??) for giving us the month off!

And now for something completely different! hugogirl.libsyn.com/episode-84-r...

Sat with the great folks at the @itgodp.bsky.social podcast to talk about The Sentence, The Wheel of Time, Anarchism, the Paris Commune, the Mondragon Cooperative, SFF and publishing in India, the sequel to The Sentence, and more. Give it a listen: itgodp.libsyn.com/website/the-...

Amy won SF trivia and I shouted "that's my best friend!!!" so everyone would know the most important part 😆 @hugeiftrue.bsky.social

@seattlein2025.org what in the world??

We're here in sci-fi movie court at Dragoncon, and after hearing an impassioned and compelling defense of Howard the Duck...episode forthcoming!

We absolutely loved Brandon's presentation of the Hugo for Best Poem. What a treat to hear it in person! @therisingtithes.bsky.social

Looking in 4 different directions, as always! 😆

It's time for Dragoncon!

ICYMI

I was on Octothorpe! We talked about a lot of stuff, including The Sentence by @gautambhatia88.bsky.social (around 1:05). It's good!

I really enjoyed The Sentence @hugogirlpodcast.bsky.social @johncoxon.bsky.social @octothorpecast.bsky.social . (I kindly got a copy from the author himself). I even wrote two pieces about it: www.nerds-feather.com/2025/02/revi... skiffyandfanty.com/blog/the-sen...

Octothorpe 142 is here with stunt Alison, Lori Anderson of @hugogirlpodcast.bsky.social! We discuss some of the pronunciation snafus at the Hugo Awards Ceremony before getting into a happier discussion of panels, the winners themselves, and books. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/142-a-lot-...

This week is your final chance to vote for The Dragon Award before it's announced at Dragon Con this weekend. Voting is open to the public: awards.dragoncon.org/2025-ballot/

Congratulations to the 2025 Hugo winners! If we'd won, I knew I had to say something about...all this. It's not deep or eloquent, but with four of us, it had to be to the point. As I've been encouraged to post it, here's The Acceptance Speech That Wasn't -written in Keep 5min before the ceremony

100% of the guesses were Andor so maybe this cosplay can do double duty. But it's a Preservation Alliance jumpsuit from Murderbot!

Dragoncon cosplay loading... Any guesses?

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon
