soc_puppetI have discovered the attention-sucking black hole that is John Oliver's Last Week Tonight, which is probably only as bad as it is because I haven't seen many episodes. I've managed to close the tab for now, mostly because I definitely need to sleep before tomorrow, but it'll likely be open again in short order when I get home after work.
In completely different news, ICON was last week, and Seanan McGuire is an absolutely lovely person and defaulted to singular they when she saw my "I'm a Genderqueer Sea Monster" shirt. Jim Hines also did a fantastic job as Toastmaster (as usual), and due to him asking not-exactly-standard questions in the Guest of Honor Q&A session, I think I might be ready to give Seanan's Rosemary & Rue another try. I was already fully prepared to give her Every Heart A Doorway a chance after having not-quite ragequit Rosemary & Rue some years ago, because ace protag plus portal fantasy equals gimme gimme, but knowing some of Seanan's history in genre writing has... hmm. Softened my anger at the book and some of the narrative/plot-related choices she made? Anyway, yes, potentially another try.
