Any forensic anthropologists out there? King County Medical Examiner is hiring for one. Just thought I'd pass it on. #governmentjobs #localgovernment #forensicanthropology

I shared Bug the other week, so now, Larry. My little man is 17.5 years old, and we're getting close to the end. But until then, I'll keep him comfy on this throne.

Arrived today, books 6&7 in the Corsac Fox series. I wasn't expecting them so soon, but given that I've got a vacation coming up, thrilled to have them. @blazeward.bsky.social #booksky

Followed by a panel on writing endings. (Having skipped the panels on writing beginnings and middles.) Excellent panel. Per the people around me, this has been the best series at #WorldCon

Donaldson is very bad about remembering to speak into the mike.

Erin Shanendoah @erinshanendoah.bsky.social · Aug 16

This morning's #WorldCon panel is about writing things that take years to finish. Figuring my 14 year in the first draft making novella qualifies. Stephen R Donaldson is one of the panelists.

Seriously, every other panel I've been at had a double room. Who thought putting a Becky Chambers panel in a single was a good idea? Standing room only. #WorldCon

Erin Shanendoah @erinshanendoah.bsky.social · Aug 13

Working Class Science fiction looks like it's going to be a packed panel. Probably doesn't hurt that Becky Chambers is one of the panelists #WorldCon

At my first #WorldCon panel, having been here since shortly after 9, spending close to 90 min in the reg line. Everything is cool, but it's already reminding me of why I love #Narrativity

Erin Shanendoah @erinshanendoah.bsky.social · Aug 13

I have created a tentative schedule for myself for #WorldCon tomorrow. Only planning one day at a time, except for the writing workshop I want to try and sign up for on Saturday.
Who else will be there?

Deception Pass boat tour yesterday was fantastic. Sea lions might as well be sea puppies, for the way they lounge

Creativity recharged. But energy levels are currently exhausted. :)

Home from #Narrativity. Why is Seattle hotter than Minneapolis?

You can tell I have had con brain since the start of the con, since it is 2025, not 2026. Either that, or I learned to time travel, but the process of doing so wiped all memory of it from my brain.

Erin Shanendoah @erinshanendoah.bsky.social · Jun 30

#Narrativity 2025 in the books. It was amazing. For those of you who were here with us this weekend - THANK YOU. You make this con.

Erin Shanendoah @erinshanendoah.bsky.social · Jun 28

Day 1 of #Narrativity 2026 in the books. I love this con. I love these people. Can't wait to do it all again tomorrow.

@genocideman.bsky.social I suggest adding the Writing Prompts and WriteSky feeds :)

The Water Knife is an amazing book. Excited for you to get to read it.
