After the event, I am moderately sure that I was on a panel with the author at a Worldcon. They absolutely would not remember me.

It really is hard to overstate how devastating the whole thing is. And how infuriating. And also how the solution, sustained investment, financially, and that's so far beyond the politics of the moment that....look, I'll be in my corner crying for a bit longer.

So. RFK is apparently bragging that his changes to HHS are permanent at this point. Which is probably not true. What is true is that the damage that was inflicted last year to all aspects and all agencies of the federal government is generational and will take at least that long to undo. (1/2)

At Town Hall again for a Seattle Arts and Lecture event with V.E. Schwab. Before the event even starts, I apparently have a new series to read as I've pre-ordered book 3 for the event. Not sure how adding to my TBR fits in with my make myself be social plans, but we'll see.

The amount of rage that flooded me reading this is really not healthy.

Lost Giants cider in Bellingham is quite fun. I walked in too late to join the trivia, which is too bad because I would have crushed the Buffy round.

One of my faves is in Post Alley, which is part of Pike Place. But, I can never remember its name.

Capitol Hill comes alive more in the evenings. Queen Anne has 2 very distinct parts---definitely make sure to get Upper Queen Anne and stop at Kerry Park for one of the best views of downtown. SLU is....well, it exists. But, MOHAI and the Center for Wooden Boats are cool.

This will not be the weirdest thing you find in Seattle. But, it will be close.

You don't tap off anymore, just on. (They changed the fare to be uniform instead of based on how far you traveled.) But, yes, the yellow things usually by the escalator, stairs, or elevator are what you need to tap.

Attempting to brute force my way through depression and burnout recovery with making myself go to community events. Tonight is a talk at Town Hall with Mayor Wilson, Naomi Klein, and Astra Taylor.

The library is between Seneca and Madison and 4th and 5th. And the place I'm talking about is at 8th and Seneca.

I'm at Town Hall tonight for an event but if after, anyone wants food or a drink, 3 blocks up (away from the water) Seneca is A Pizza Mart which is a bar with pizza slices and fairly cheap.

I mean it would be difficult to introduce an otter with only one superlative. Glad they realized that. :-)

Update on the condition of Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez at the South Texas Ice Processing Center. He’s being taken to the hospital. He is in tremendous pain and tells us that the bullet is still inside his left side. He can’t move the left side of his body.

I just made a simple syrup so I can try making myself a cocktail to celebrate all the labor I've done today at home.* I feel very sophisticated and like I'm going to screw it up. *Digging myself out of a 2+ year depressive cycle and figuring out my capacity with my autoimmune stuff

I feel vaguely vindicated that after 2 days, the 15 year old can't fix it either.

I was being really productive yesterday and for the first 2 hours of today, but I have hit a project that will, realistically, take an hour but my brain is saying "nooooooo".

Kat @bondkat42.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

To be clear, they haven't fixed it yet. They are on solution #4, but having a blast? We'll see what happens when they return from the Fair.

Don't tell the 15 year old, but I'm really glad he's here to be tech support for the 18 year old when their laptop decided to not have Windows anymore. He keeps trying to convince them to install Linux though.

I absolutely guarantee you that in my postpartum period I could have cared less about anyone's penis not functioning properly, and I do not think that had anything to do with my fluctuating thyroid, postpartum anxiety, and other issues. JFC.

Clearly, I shouldn't clean because I just almost face planted after tripping over my vacuum cleaner.

The office is in SODO right next to the school district HQ. I would be a bit shocked if there is corporate housing there but maybe Pioneer Square? Pioneer Square would be fun to land in for a while. Either way, you'll be really close to the CID for good Asian food.

Jumping on the bandwagon. Here's a sampling of where you'll be able to find me at @laworldcon #LAconV (Worldcon). I'll also be at 2 different fan tables, running some parties including a Seattle Worldcon 2025 Thank You party, taking a spin KJ'ing karaoke, and maybe a bar?
