(just bc i know sometimes people don't see that)

Congratulations to you and the whole khoreo team!

Many congratulations, Thomas!

Sending you good energy, Kara! 💕

a man is holding a cell phone and smiling while sitting at a table . Alt: Actor Hudson Williams, a mixed-race man of Korean and Western European descent, with pale skin, short black hair, is wearing a black sweater. He is gesutring at something, saying "Look at it. Look at it! This is the happiest he's ever been"

I am continuing to hear some so-called "fans" of Heated Rivalry are continuing to aim racist remarks and other abuses toward Hudson Williams, and this makes me want to turn into a dragon and breathe fire on anyone who would do that.

I hope you can do so safely, Brandon! Maybe @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social can help!
Maurice (steeples fingers): Way ahead of you lol

I will keep looking around! Thank you!

Folks, @authorkaraj.bsky.social needs to pay the balance of Katie's radiation treatments in 2 weeks and it's a huge amount. If folks can keep boosting and chipping in, that would be super helpful 👇👇👇

Congratulations to all the amazing finalists!!!

I will send you all of the calming and good energy 💜

Why is it so hard to find cotton leggings?? Everywhere I go, they say the only thing they have is like sportswear type of nylon and polyester (which for an autistic like me, are the devil). Gahh!!

Congratulations on your nomination, Brandon, and to the other nominees!

In case you missed it, we made a Big Exciting Announcement yesterday!!!

All of us at Can*Con are saddened to hear that Renaissance Press have taken the difficult decision to cease operations.

Renaissance Press and the writers they publish have been a big part of our convention for many years. We will miss them, and the loss will be felt by the SFFH community.
