@justtheclippy.bsky.social Fair warning - I don't know if the con is trying to lessen the concentrated "gremlin energy" or they just didn't learn from your last panel. But they've seated you and Marissa apart again.

"If you do the right thing in the here and now, the future has a way of taking care of itself." Dolly Parton stepped onto the sci-fi screen briefly but powerfully in S3E8 of The Orville: New Horizons. Her humor, goodwill, and music shined bright in utopian sci-fi.

I found out around 2pm that Saint Dolly had passed. I had a work meeting at 2:30pm and tried to clean myself up. I failed, as my teammate and I logged onto the call, and I still didn't have my 'office' mask back on... "What's wrong?!" "...Dolly Parton died." The meeting was cancelled. Immediately.

Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012
There Will Come Soft Rains
By: Ray Bradbury

In the living room the voice-clock sang, Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o 'clock! as if it were afraid that nobody would. The morning house lay empty. The clock ticked on, repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness. Seven-nine, breakfast time, seven-nine!
In the kitchen the breakfast stove gave a hissing sigh and ejected from its warm interior eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunny side up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two
cool glasses of milk.
"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake.
"Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills."

Additional GenCon quote from when someone pulled the Union Station fire alarm: "I won't blame any of you, but my bones hurt like hell from the storms and I am not going down multiple flights of stairs if it's a damn drill. If it's not? Then tell them that I died like I lived...at a gaming table."

I have one of the best lines from my running games at GenCon, and I kind of want to put it on business cards and let it define my entire game style, but also know that I probably shouldn't. "Running tragedy and horror RPGs with the joyful enthusiasm and energy of a kindergarten teacher."

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica. 
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica. 
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

Discworld QOTD, from Wyrd Sisters
Nanny Ogg didn’t care much about what people knew and even less for what they thought, and lived in a new, knick-knack crammed cottage in the middle of Lancre town itself and at the heart of her own private empire. Various daughters and daughters-in-law came in to cook and clean on a sort of rota. Every flat surface was stuffed with ornaments brought back by far-traveling members of the family. Sons and grandsons kept the logpile stacked, the roof shingled, the chimney swept; the drinks cupboard was always full, the pouch by her rocking chair always stuffed with tobacco. Above the hearth was a huge pokerwork sign saying “Mother.” No tyrant in the whole history of the world had achieved a domination so complete.

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...
In a Public Notice released on April 22, 2026, the FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to "transgender and gender non-binary programming" and "the discussion or promotion of gender identity themes."

“You’re free to wear whatever you want, you know that.”
“Yes, sir. And then I thought about Dee. And I watched the king when he was talking to you, and . . . well, I can wear what I like, sir. That’s the point. I don’t have to wear that dress. I can wear what I like. I don’t have to wear something just because other people don’t want me to. Anyway, it made me look a rather stupid lettuce.”
“That’s all a bit complicated for me, Cheery.”
“It’s probably a dwarf thing, sir.”
“And a female thing,” said Vimes.
“Well, sir . . . yes. A dwarf thing and a female thing,” said Cheery. “And they don’t come much more complicated than that.”

You can become disabled in an instant. People think those of us who are sick did “something” to deserve it. We didn’t. The just world fallacy is a lie. It just takes one illness, accident or stroke of bad luck to forever change your life. Disability is not a moral failing.
