This is not my easiest series, or my most popular, but it's the one I wrote for my brother, and I love it very, very dearly. And now we're almost to the end of the improbable road: the Impossible City is in sight.

Here's a pic of @tinaconnolly.bsky.social and @drmaryccrowell.bsky.social at @convergencecon.bsky.social last July, after performing a review of songs from not-yet-complete "Devil and Lady Midnight" musical theatre podcast.

Left to right: C. S. E. Cooney, holding an iPad with a sticker that reads "No More Tyrants" and wearing a pair of devil ears. Dr. Mary C. Crowell, wearing an apron and a pair of cat ears, playing a keyboard. Tina Connolly, playing a green ukulele on a rainbow strap. The picture was taken after a concert they did at Convergence 2025, in Minneapolis, Minnesota: the first time they played music from "The Devil and Lady Midnight" for the public.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

A few logistical notes to consider for future Hugo ceremonies: It wouldn't be a bad idea for future Hugos to invest in a trained transcriptionist at $60/hr or whatever rather than relying on risible autocapture. Some of these folks type 120 wpm with exceptional accuracy.
