Head-and-shoulders color photo of author Sonia Focke, fair-skinned woman with dark, straight hair worn back. She wears a white blouse with a bow and a pleated stand-up collar, a lace-edged bluish-purple vest, and dangling earrings that resemble leatherbound books. She stands before a dark interior backdrop, one arm resting on a rail of weathered wood. With her face in three-quarters view, she looks directly into the camera with large hazel eyes, smiling mysteriously. Head-and-shoulders color photo of Daniel Marcus, a fair-skinned man with gray hair and beard worn short. He stands in front of brightly backlit, almost silhouetted palm trees. He wears a black tee and glasses with black plastic retro frames. With a serious expression, he looks down into the camera.

There’s nothing like attending Worldcon in-person as team @khoreo.bsky.social's representative, as one of the actual Finalists for Best Semiprozine, only for our masthead to be entirely skipped over, while everyone else’s names and mastheads were read in full, exactly as it was on the program sheet.

Had a great time at Worldcon meeting new and old faces! Thank you @emelkrishnan.bsky.social for letting me be your plus one! Glad we could trauma bond over our masthead being skipped again. I look forward to next year!
