CoKoCon, local SF convention in Tempe, AZ, got cut short for us when Hilde didn't feel well. Brought her home Saturday afternoon.
Day-tripped back out today to catch some panels while Tabbi did caregiving duty for Hilde at home. Think it's been the first time attending a convention without Hilde since 1998.

The SF/F/H convention-going community has fretted for years about the "graying of fandom." The average attendee age is drifting ever upward, foreshadowing an imminent mass extinction ...
I dunno. If my own hair is anything to go by, past time to start calling it the "whiting of fandom."

Really enjoyed this con report by Rich Horton @hortonwho, a leading U.S. SF/F/H reviewer and anthologist — and, as you can tell from how hard he tries to name every single person he talks to, a great guy.
Oh! The report is on Readercon https://readercon.org. One of the world's very best literary science fiction / fantasy / horror conventions. I had to miss it, and Rich, this year. But next year in, uh, Quincy!

Sometimes trying to participate in recorded public life + social media can feel so complicated + painful.
Stories like this remind me that the sacred, secular, profound, profane, + marginal matter

Tutto questo preambole solo per chiedervi: quale avventura (gratuita, pay as you wish, pagamento) ritenete imprescindibile nel caso di one shot?
Questa mattina ho fatto rilegare con una comoda legatura a spirale alcune avventure OSR da portarmi alla Con quando gestisco qualche tavolo come master. Sono di vario genere e lunghezza (Dai One Page Dungeon a veri moduli) ma la selezione è stata operata soprattutto nei termini di poter essere giocate sempre entro le 3 ore e nel contempo riuscire sempre a proporre un'avventura stimolante a qualcunque persona possa approcciare il mio tavolo ↩️

Almost time for Fan Expo Canada, my biggest (and busiest) convention of the year. I'm pretty much at the same spot I've always been. I'll have all my usual stuff, and of course, T3LP comics! For those who go, see you there!

📢#OutNow in #OA: 'Breaking #Conventions: Five #Couples in Search of #Marriage-#Career Balance at the Turn of the #NineteenthCentury' by Patricia Auspos.
This rich history illuminates the lives and partnerships of five married couples – two #British, three #American – whose unions defied the conventions of their time and anticipated social changes that were to come in the ensuing century.
In all five #marriages, both husband and wife enjoyed thriving professional lives: a shocking circumstance at a time when wealthy white married #women were not supposed to have careers and #career women were not supposed to marry.
Patricia Auspos examines what we can learn from the relationships of the Palmers, the Youngs, the Parsons, the Webbs, and the Mitchells, exploring the implications of their experiences for our understanding of the #history of #genderequality and of #professionalwork.

Reminder that in a dictatorship you cannot have a large-attendance event without the leadership's express endorsement, that's not how it works.
