@VCFartles Are you thinking about your parents?

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

@taldragon This is important news! The next time we're both in Canada together....

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

@darwingrrl @zarastubbs_ No, thank you for flagging it!

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

@stephanieburgis @ce_murphy I did have a moment of worry the other day when I couldn't find the last of the Harwood Spellbook books on my shelves *anywhere*, let alone where they should be. (...and then looked them up and was reminded they're e-book only).

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

@KitWhitfield @AriellaElema I bet you know the answer to this question.

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

So this opens up a new question: why didn't Cicero ever write about chickens, that we know of?

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

@lizgloyn @OliviaWrites I'm happy to take the blame for this. Also, hurray for a full new reading set!

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

@taldragon I bought it from the Kickstarter!

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

@chris_mccartney Thank you very much! I am gleefully pleased to have this to read again.

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

@gilibugg @stephanieburgis @aliettedb @philipreeve1 @zenaldehyde @MaryRobinette @CherylMorgan @splanky_au @virginia875 @AlisonBaker01 @effjayem @geoffryman I'll be there and would love to meet up with you! A couple of panels, but mostly flexible.

Fraiche was my first thought, but the other one in that area I've really been wanting to try is Burnt Truffle. It was crowdfunded! A more casual place, but the food should be good.

@stephanieburgis An inventor of dragons is really fairly close to being a paleontologist, I would say. As adulting jobs go.

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

@hawkwing_lb I hope it all goes smoothly! (As much as it can.)

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

@taldragon This is AMAZING.

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

Oooh! Thank you. This is exactly something I'd like to read.

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

@FrancesHardinge I've finished it too. It had been entirely too long since I played a quest-based RPG.

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

@Paul_Gilham @ADMedievalist I have long assumed that as soon as we go anywhere very far away from open water, the midges will devour us.

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

You know how some questions seem too small to ask, such as "Why isn't X on page Y on your website?" Well,
@Glasgowin2024 would be delighted to have questions like that submitted to its Question Contest. Ask something, please! https://t.co/AOqK7c5XK1

@unamccormack My sister once gave me a post of African violets for my half-birthday and I've observed them ever since.

[Dr. S. Worthen @sworthen]

We miss you two too!

[MJW 🐀 @the_lazyknight]

@sworthen Wow, 2 years... Even including the time dilation effects of covid, it doesn't feel that long.

Our live to you all - we miss you :-)
