@cosplayamerica Thanks for the kind words. I guess it should be fine, please DM me with the questions and I will do my best to answer them. Only that I will be able to do so in a few weeks, as my schedule is very busy at the moment.

@RuxandraTarca I'm a fan of the magazine in the early 2010s and it was one of the best designed publications I've seen. I would love to do a history of Gen for my website, how it came into being, the challenges faced and so forth. Would you be up for being interview for the article?

@RuxandraTarca did you used to be an editor at Cosplay Gen? Looking for staffers to interview about Cosplay Gen.

@zackpinsent @netflix Exactly! I was so so so so mad when they cancelled The Irregulars, which was such a unique and excellent show! I was about to start 1899 but I think I’ll just skip it. It’s just too frustrating.

I won’t be watching any new @netflix shows until a second season is confirmed for the show. I’m not going to invest time and interest in something that will get cancelled. I’ve had enough!

@steampunk_explr Happy New Year!

On this day in 1792, Louis XVI appeared before the National Convention. The King had been charged with dozens of crimes and faced the possible punishment of death. A short thread on the King's trial!

It looks like I will finish the next Cinder Spires book, The Olympian Affair, by Christmas or shortly after. :)

@MadameAskew @BillBodden I’ve just joined your community on Discord yesterday and it’s such a lovely place! And omg! A steampunk book club!

My virtual book event is very niche (steampunk), but I'm proud that @BillBodden and I have kept it going monthly since April of 2020. We'll continue to stream as long as folks wish to read and chat with us

We'll just be over here continuing to host monthly virtual book events and live streaming all of our convention events ❤️ I've always found this rewarding, and it doesn't have to be high-tech
