Eyeball power!

These pics made my day. Work-safe. Yay eyeballs!

Fangy toothy creatures

Your daily dose of cute adorable fangy toothy creatures. Aren’t they sweet?

This is why I’m willing to believe quite a bit of weirdness when I read sf stories about aliens. We have creatures on this planet that look even weirder than what we imagine.

Adventures in depression

Hyperbole And A Half presents: Adventures in Depression.

I have a theory that people who’ve never struggled with depression will find this cartoon sad, while people who do struggle with depression will laugh and laugh and cry a little and then keep laughing. BECAUSE IT IS TRUE.

What do you think? Sad, hilarious, or a little of both?

The WFC hotel

According to Mari Ness, the Town & Country hotel in San Diego is NOT wheelchair accessible and they violate ADA laws. Check out her report. It’s awful.

(Personally, I had fun at the con itself and nothing went badly for me. But there were bad things happening to my friends. And that dampens my enjoyment of the whole con.)

The creeper at World Fantasy

As many people have heard, there was a guy at World Fantasy who sexually harassed multiple women. Other people have covered the details far better than I can, so I’ll just link to them below. (I never saw this guy at all.)

The reason I’m posting is that Jaym Gates is working on an anti-harassment policy for future WFCs. If you have witnessed or experienced sexual harassment at a con, including WFC, she asks: “please email me at jaym.gates at gmail (for reporting an incident that you don’t want made public) or pax (dot) valkyrie at gmail if you want it posted.”

Personal accounts of the specific incidents at WFC:

2) Stina Leicht

4) Champagne and Socks
