you know, if my cat lived in your house, you would awaken one night at the sound of a terrible cascading crash, & when you entered the room to investigate, you’d find him wedged between the ceiling & what remained of the boxes & bins on the top shelf.

i know it will be massively overstimulating & hectic to try to add meeting up with someone local to your schedule, but if it works out…

i will say that r.’s hearing aids are a game changer but they are also very fussy & can mess with the way music sounds. still, in a household where one of us can’t speak loudly & the other is hard of hearing, they make a tremendous difference! best of luck in getting what you need.

here too! sonny is SO BUSY
November 26, 2025 at 12:32 PM
it’s not just you sayin’. all conferences should institute nap time, at least. lunch break 1-2, nap time 2-3, programming resumes 3:15. but sometimes there’s no time even for lunch & you have to forego an important session for, y’know, attending to vital needs so you can function & not collapse…

with blurbs by kj cerankowski, @cavar.bsky.social, & @sophiealdred.bsky.social this is the book i’ve been trying to get into the world for almost five years. it isn’t just important to me!

i’ll have a copy to show & an order link, but i’m not officially releasing or promoting it until the new year.

finally, i will be doing a _really_ soft launch—like pudding-soft—for my anti-memoir ON BEING HALF-IMAGINARY at this year’s con. it’s a book centering the importance of DR. WHO (& surrealism!) in my coming to be who i am, & surviving my childhood….
