A bit of a longshot, but does anyone have pictures of me from the @worldcon2021 Hugos night, on stage or off, that I can submit with credit to be used in the zine Journey Planet? @johnnyeponymous

@BrandonTKetchum Our tech team will get videos posted after the holidays, then they’ll stay up for a month. We will announce via email and social media when they’re up!

[DisCon III - The 79th Worldcon @worldcon2021]

@JanniLeeSimner Keep an eye on your email - we are posting updates as we receive them.

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

If you are worried or lonely today, just try to remember you won’t always feel like this. Two weeks ago I was getting buttered, Jean was a little sick and we didn’t know ANY of you yet

@IFSciFi The charity was not mentioned because we do not want them to get splashed with blowback from people who don't think we should have apologized.

@BrandonTKetchum Sorry for the confusion. They tested positive today, not last week.

From our own correspondent: Alex Wallace talks of his experience at the recent DisCon III, where three SLP works were nominated for #SidewiseAwards and @KresalWrites won his. @SidewiseAward @worldcon2021 #AlternateHistory https://t.co/GQQvQJHpfr

[Zombies Need Brains @ZNBLLC]

Just wanted to thank everyone at @worldcon2021 that stopped by the @ZNBLLC table and chatted or bought something to support this small press! We can't produce these #sff #anthologies without you. Great to see all of the ZNB authors there in person as well! #amreading #amwriting

Harassment is not acceptable. Responses should be directed to DisCon III and not at the finalists or winners who were uninvolved in our decisions.

@m_warshaw @ConFigures @c_katherine @tenayaanue @jrho_jrho Absolutely! It will take a bit due to holidays (and con crash) delaying the tech work, but we will share here ASAP when they’re up.
