It's Diamine Inkvent time!! 🎉

It's my 3rd yr of review posts for the Diamine Inkvent Calendar, in which anyone who has purchased the calendar gets wee bottles of unique ink every day until the 25th, where we get a larger bottle.

I'm posting my reviews in this thread for anyone interested! 1/?

The most powerful storm I have personally ever witnessed.

This beast near Etowah, OK produced two separate sets of twin tornadoes, followed by an EF3 tornado, and then a 1.25 mile-wide tornado that hit Shawnee, OK... all in the span of one hour. #photography #ArtAdventCalendar

With heavy heart, I have to announce that I won't make it to Arisia in January. The pneumonia and other health issues have me mostly housebound.

It crushes me to miss this. I was greatly looking forward to seeing everyone.

I hope I can make up for this at the *next* Arisia.
Sadly, we must report that John Wiswell will be unable to join us for the Arisia 2026 convention as our Writer Guest of Honor. John looks forward to attending future Arisias, and we look forward to seeing him then.

Please do check out his books, available wherever fine SF/F books are sold.

This is a gift. Thank you to @siembranc.bsky.social for sharing this new toolkit with what they did when Border Patrol showed up in NC: docs.google.com/document/d/1... - share far and wide especially with our comrades in MN and LA (New Orleans esp).

In November 2025, Border Patrol announced it would be coming to Charlotte, North Carolina. We only had a few days’ notice. Just like in Chicago and Los Angeles, they weren’t coming to “keep the peace....

Yet another snowdump is coming my way & most of my joints are sore about it. My ankles don't usually hurt, but today they both burn. Yes, burn. I can barely walk, & trying to manage this in the snow & ice?

*tsk*

Yes this a vaguepost about accommodations.

Feels like "missing" is inaccurate. This child was kidnapped by the secret police and is now either a political prisoner or a trafficking victim.

There are zero accommodations on the faculty side for disability in academia; and, with more faculty becoming disabled due to COVID and the simple fact that living through our current hellscape is a debilitating context, this is going to get real bad, real fast.

But hey, accommodations, right?
