I doubt I'll be able to find time during @seattlein2025.org to record another lightning-round donut episode of Eating the Fantastic, but I printed this sign anyway, because it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. We''ll see. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...
![Sign in black ink on pink paper. It's a multi-colored table. The sign reads:
FREE DONUT
IF YOU’LL SHARE YOUR WORLDCON MEMORIES
FOR 5 MINUTES ON
EATING THE FANTASTIC
[UNTIL THE 12 DONUTS ARE GONE]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:ac2kmpveixxnm4cp4janyafx/bafkreiceqfhk7enhuuigepxhtdpznfxgfckfwrmgwxo3yfmfhqkxyhv5tu@jpeg)
I love this bot but wish it would name the artist too.
or Mike Ford
not to mention AO3
business card with white space on it! so people can make a note about you on your card if they want to.
so many people want cards that stand out so go for colors & patterns & the like but if I couldn't write on it & thereby remember when/where I got it, it was useless & got tossed.
about 10 years ago a Black acquaintance interested in moving to my neighborhood in Queens asked me that. I had the weirdest feeling, like, I was glad they could ask me but sad that they had to.
I, for one, appreciate the updates.
I like book reviews but it is more accurate to say that I have found a few reviewers who say interesting things about books which makes those books sound interesting to me, and whose taste aligns with mine enough that I am likely to enjoy what they enjoy.
film & theater reviewers ditto.
There are writers I read in lit classes & never again.
There are writers I adore whom I discovered through lit classes.
There are books that challenged me that I might never have read had they not be in a lit class.
Totally different from personal reading.
In the context of a class, "stinks" doesn't matter the same way. Liking everything you study isn't the point. Dd didn't like everything she read in HS or uni and neither did I, but the point was to learn about writers, writing style, messages the writer intended vs. what the reader got, etc.
