Will :he_him:At the airport for the flight to Seattle and I saw a guy wearing a shirt that said "Occupy Mars". My first thought was "Oh, <a href="https://wandering.shop/@adapalmer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@adapalmer</a> would be pleased that I found a Utopian." Then I saw the back - "SpaceX".

Ignacio (he)Today my big brother holidays for the next two weeks, so I'm at home on my own.He does every year, and there were no issues for me or for him so far. But it's still difficult for me to adapt during the first hours or even days.Also, his destination is Seattle, United States, because the <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/worldcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#worldcon</a> is being held over there. With things I hear about what happens in that country, I'm more worried than ever.<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a>

Vivienne DunstanPrompted by San Jose 2018 Worldcon belatedly offering to send printed copies of the souvenir book to supporting and attending-but-not-present members I asked 2024 Glasgow Worldcon if I could get a print copy of the souvenir book. My husband and I had attending memberships, but my neurological disease progressed too much to go there, and was too disabling. Answer from Glasgow: "We recycled all the leftover Souvenir books soon after the convention so I'm sorry there are none left."
