re Naveen Andrews: remember Robert!
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am reading The Calculating Stars right now and it is indeed FG.

I'm reading Girl Waits with Gun, which I think I first heard about here. It's excellent.

I got that but it wasn't as good as I expected ... maybe I need to go back to it and try again. There is a sequel out, if you're interested.

Art Crawl!!!
I think that there are a couple of sequels out now.
ETA: the 4th book is out now or very shortly.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I am halfway through Space Opera now, and I'm enjoying it immensely.
My mom saw Gretchen Carlson speak on PBS the other day and sent me her latest book, Be Fierce, because I am also a fierce woman (she says). My mom has never watched Fox News and really isn't up to date on much of anything. I'm womanfully not telling her exactly what I think of Gretchen Carlson or the mere existence of the book, of which I don't have the spoons to read.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
You could respond with Make Trouble by Cecile Richards.

Finally got a chance to watch the speech. I will follow her anywhere.
