I have now spent ten hours traveling. The initial delay was no one’s fault, but everything that happened after we landed in ORD can be laid at @americanair.bsky.social’s feet. We sat on the tarmac for two hours due to lack of gate, and then nearly an hour for luggage.

In the alternate universe where I did win a Hugo at @laworldcon.bsky.social, this is the speech I delivered. Wow. I can honestly say that I did not expect to be standing here right now. Sadly, I am not going to Disneyland.

Unsurprisingly, here we have a white Christian Brit, a citizen of a country and a member of a religion that both kinda don’t think colonialism is a bad thing, trying to deflect Christianity-as-empire onto Black people.

“Christian” is not a synonym for “good person” and the insistence that it is is Christian supremacy.

We are stuck in London for two extra days due to flight cancellation. This is a bit harder for us due to Shabbat being involved, but we’ve made that work. Part of making it work involved double checking with the hotel if they’d store/warm up food for us and explaining why.

So the @brisbane28.org bid table has a small stuffed wombat in addition to our stuffed koala. And there is no reason said wombat should go unadorned when their fellow has such a natty beret. And so I present to you: “In Memoriam For Those Lost At Tunnel 17.” Second photo has the beret for scale.

#3DPrinters! We’ve tried a couple of different filaments (Panchroma translucent rainbow gradient & tricolor silk) to get rainbow koalas, but results are mixed. Do any of you have a better filament recommendation to get a true rainbow gradient on #TinyKoalas? Drop your suggestions in the comments.

Question for the 3D printers (paging @mostlybree.kitrocha.com to the multicolored courtesy phone): We’re trying to make rainbow versions of these adorable folks for Pride. So far, we haven’t had much success with the options we’ve tried. Suggestions?

4 3D printed koalas. From left to right, they are a blue/purple shimmer, light pink, classic grey, and black with dark purple glitter.
