Iain @feaelin.bsky.social · 30/08/2026🪐📚💙🌶️📚 I've finished reading Emily Paxman's "All We Have Left" -- a cozy post-apocalypse romance set in Canada. I had the privilege of listening to Emily Paxman read a chapter aloud at #worldcon. A wonderful experience, the characters of Kayla and April came to life as she read. 1111
Iain @feaelin.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Gracious. The past 3 days caught up with me this morning. I woke an a usual early hour -- but then I had to go back to sleep for a few more hours. Missed a few things I wanted to attend this morning, but I'm substantially more functional than I would have been otherwise! #worldcon #worldcon2026 110
Iain @feaelin.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Early waking, A car ride, a plane, another car ride and then I’ll be at #worldcon. If everything goes smooth, I’ll be there in time to get through registration and make it to the first panel I want to attend: “Personifications of Death”. :) I might even get checked into the hotel at some point.:) 020

Reposted by IainAnnalee @flowerhorne.com · 07/08/2026Okay so here's a basic math thing that anyone talking about demographics needs to learn: the absolute number of something can rise even as the percentage falls. Example: there are FAR more male doctors than there were 100 years ago. But the percentage of doctors who are men has fallen. 336287

Iain @feaelin.bsky.social · 19/07/2026What do we really mean by “I’m offended by…”? Is it another way of saying “I’m hurt by…”? Or is it a reaction to being hurt? Not sure why, but the word (offended) feels removed from the actual thing. #drivingthoughts #randomexplorations 100
