Finally got around to writing up my experience at RAWR26. Read it and laugh/weep, as you choose.
RAWR 2026
Romance Atlanta Writers and Readers 2026 was… interesting. I’ve done, by my count, 17 science fiction/fantasy cons since the Chronicles of the Covenant books started publication, but this was the…

Morally sound people respect other people's spiritual beliefs.
If, upon hearing someone say "Happy Passover" or the equivalent, you respond with "Christ is King," then you are an antisemite, no caveats. Morally sound people do not do this.
I mention this because this is an actual phenomenon in the wild right now.

Miami International Airport. 30 minutes to clear TSA on the day Republicans blocked a bill to pay agents, guaranteeing they will miss paychecks.
I asked the TSA agent how many of his people called out. "Not enough," he said. "Nothing changes until people feel pain."

Doing final cleanup on paperback master copy of Shìzú before sending off for proof copies. I am so proud of myself for working a riff on the "AK-47 -- the very best there is" line from "Jackie Brown" into the book ::snrk::. Apparently, I am also easily amused!

A gentle reminder that DEI was never about hiring and promoting underqualified Black people. It was about preventing underqualified white people from sliding through.
DEI is antidiscrimination law. If you oppose DEI, you want racial discrimination to go unpunished except as applied to white men.
