@erikhinderer I love it! That's going to be quite a collection of cereal boxes if she gets through the whole table, though.

[Wendy Shaffer @wshaffer74]

@goodall_jeff We miss you, Jeff!

[Wendy Shaffer @wshaffer74]

@NiranEC I am so glad to hear that they are okay. ❤️

@erikhinderer Happy birthday!!!

On the downside, the process of getting to each of those human representatives was akin to a particularly tedious RPG fetch quest. And the chat bot that I had to go through before I could reach a human at Playstation Direct was downright obstructive.

[Wendy Shaffer @wshaffer74]

I have to say that every one of the human support representatives that I spoke to about my weird inability to log into the Playstation network today was smart, on the ball, and almost ridiculously sympathetic about my having a problem with my console.

[Wendy Shaffer @wshaffer74]

@erikhinderer It must have been.

[Wendy Shaffer @wshaffer74]

Well, when I chose my PlayStation Network online ID, I didn't realize that it's also used for customer support purposes, so I am a fully grown woman explaining to a Playstation support rep that I am 'metal-wombat'.

[Wendy Shaffer @wshaffer74]

Hey friends, I'll be on the B Cubed Press Podcast talking about banned books this morning along with Steven Schwartz, Sarah Kishler, and @winnig . You can tune in live at 9 am Pacific, or catch the recording at https://t.co/Kif1LnRQJ5

This new training block can be summed up as: I Hate Hip Thrusts and I cannot Lie: Tales of a Middle-Aged Powerlifter

@Volus_dude Kiitos! I should have guessed that it was some kind of pop culture reference.

[Wendy Shaffer @wshaffer74]

Finnish speakers - is “grooves like a moose” idiomatic? And if so, what does it mean?

[Wendy Shaffer @wshaffer74]

I’ve had the privilege of seeing @charliejane read live a couple of times and it’s a treat. Do check out one of these events if you can.

[Wendy Shaffer @wshaffer74]

Classic cars with bunny ears. Also
There is someone playing the bagpipes.

[Wendy Shaffer @wshaffer74]

When I picture a moose grooving, it brings to mind the music of Meshuggah. Which is probably not the intent, but also, Finland, so I can’t be sure.

[Wendy Shaffer @wshaffer74]

I have not one iota of visual arts talent, but I would love to see this project become a reality, so boosting to all my artist friends.

With @HugoAwards noms open, this is a reminder that @FiresideFiction is eligible for Best Semiprozine for the work we published in our final year. It would mean so much to get a nod for everything the magazine did.
