Thanks, msbelle!
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

I filled out the form, msbelle, but FYI, I couldn't get the return to work in the address section, sorry! I put the address in anyway, and I'm updated on the b.org Master List, too.
Thanks for arranging!

Theo, I'm so sorry about Debra's passing: it sounds like it was a complete shock to everyone. I never met her but I enjoyed her work and followed her on LJ/DW.
in other terrible news, Rachel Caine died this weekend -- she was known in fandom as Roxanne Conrad but she also wrote several fun urban fantasy series. I'd been reading her work for years, and only learned recently that she was struggling with cancer.
It's been a shitty weekend for SFF fandom.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
NGL, flea, with a year-and-a-half old and no access to out-of-household childcare, a captive, non-driving 18 year old sounds hella useful. We even have a separate-entrance in-law suite downstairs.
We should probably put together our cards for this year, but, theres not a surfeit of energy around here (except from the toddler)
The new board is weirdly white (I had my CSS set to grey), but verra nice.

Sounds like we should do a Buffista child exchange -- put 1-3 kids in a box, ship it around. Kidless recipients get their choice of one, send on the rest. (I'm not sure if I'll take a toddler or one older. Both grammar school and high school are in easy walking distance...)
This week is going to be a hundred days long.

Consuela, I didn’t know her fandom name, but I posted a link in Literary earlier. So sad I really enjoyed her presence on Twitter, and she was so hopeful about getting better until recently.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
New board! Thanks for all your hard work, Gud. It looks like it's all come out well.
Matilda is crying because her homework assignment is to watch a David Attenborough video, and it's showing animals dying. And that's basically like snuff porn horrible to her.
Is it a specific one, or does she get a choice?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The new board is weirdly white (I had my CSS set to grey), but verra nice.
I didn't realize how much I'd customized my CSS on the old board until we switched (font size, spacing between user info & tagline, spoilerfont color), but this version is SO much better on mobile I don't even mind.

Hey. New board.
I'm fiddling around with adding some basic theming. At the very least I hope to get customizable background color, accent color, and spoiler font color available at some point.
