Hi, everyone! I'm happy to have some new people subscribing to me, and I promise to actually post things sometimes, even! But I got home yesterday from ten days away to a pile of ToBeDone teetering high overhead and threatening to come crashing down on me. Still, I crossed twenty-four items off my to-do list today and cleared out a bunch of email, ( Read more... )

I went downstairs to my office after breakfast this morning, and discovered that the cat had barfed all over my desk. Thankfully he did not destroy the legal paperwork for the wedding I'm doing this afternoon (note to self: putting things front and center on your desk so you don't forget them may not actually be the clever life hack you thought it ( Read more... )

Would anyone who's going to Escapade be interested in getting together on Saturday afternoon to watch the livestream of the ACLU'S resistance training (https://go.peoplepower.org/signup/attend-march-11)? I don't know if there's any way we could all watch it on a big ( Read more... )

Given what's going on in the US, together with what may soon be going on in Canada, Geoff has decided that he will no longer travel to the US except to see family (his and mine). He's notified the conferences he normally speaks at every year (techwriting and sff), and he will no longer court speaking engagements with US chapters of the Society for ( Read more... )

In conversation with someone yesterday evening, I said that while I'm basically doing fine, I feel scattered. There are a lot of reasons for this -- getting back from a fairly long trip; having a freaking ton of work that I actually got through much faster than I expected, which left me feeling as though I'd been pushing a boulder that suddenly ( Read more... )

So it's quarter to six in the morning, and I'm walking through the terminal toward my gate, when the guy staffing one of those kiosks that sit in the middle of the concourse calls out to me, "Hey, I like your shirt."

I'm wearing my COEXIST T-shirt. I grin, and he offers me a fist bump. I bump his fist and tell him, "Frankly, there's no way I was ( Read more... )
