We have an old friend and his wife who is in town for dinner tonight. Emma Bull and Will Shetterly. Will was a big player in RaceFail on the Interwebs, and I suspect he has been getting quite an earful this week from his friend Doselle (who he is staying with) since Doselle is A. in the SFF community and B. black. Should be interesting to see how things have shaken out while we all sit around eating take-out Thai food.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hee, Scrappy! When you greet him are you going to put an asterisk in his name? I will be super interested in what he has to say for himself.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Emma Bull the author? I loved "War for the Oaks".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I like Perfect Pint on 45th & 6th - very good beer with a pub menu. Fantastic lamb burger.
Intruiging! I'm not actually looking to drink, but will throw that out there.

That's the Emma Bull of Cats Laughing fame, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My head is fucking killing me. I am so tired. Work day, please advance by one hour.

Yes, both of them are writers and wonderful peeps. The Will I see in the Racefail stuff is literally not recognizable as the incredibly kind, open person I know.

I would be very curious to hear what Will would say face to face about the whole faily business myself. Very curious.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
A conservative Loudoun County lawmaker says controversial airport pat-downs by the Transportation Security Administration are part of a "wide-scale homosexual agenda."
"That means the next TSA official that gives you an enhanced pat-down could be a practicing homosexual secretly getting pleasure from your submission," he wrote.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Agh...Gary called while I was preparing the chicken for dinner and said he'd be a bit later than originally planned. So I finished the chicken and went to put the laundry in the dryer, figuring I'd put the chicken in the oven after that. I completely spaced on it and watched something off the DVR. I didn't realize I hadn't put the chicken in the oven until Gary got home and asked about it. Ok, so dinner will be a bit late....
