five people sit behind a table with a white covering, organised in an alternating boy-girl-boy pattern. The man on the left appears to be speaking and the others are looking in his direction.

Last weekend I went to Eastercon in Belfast, where among other things I appeared on a David Lynch memorial panel. We had a lot of fun talking about Lynch and his work. I also got to say "Heineken - fuck that shit" to a room full of people.

Hebe Stanton says Arthur is a cypher of the time, exemplifying what each era views as how a king should behave.

Edward James draws parallels between Middle Ages Arthurian stories and modern shared world anthologies and fanfic (let's put Galahad in a Situation)

At the "The Once And Future Story: Arthurian Myths" panel.

Juliet E McKenna is wincing at the memory of innumerable Guinevere romance novels where she is an absolute drip.

Kari Sperring is delivering an amazing rapid fire summary of subtypes of Arthurian legends.

I have a habit of saying I'm going to make these things and never do. So, for once, I am here to get away from con overwhelm. @ivgorchestra.com - take me away from all this. #Eastercon2025 #Reconnect2025

Hey #Reconnect2025 folk -- the security between the ICC and the Hilton are hugely inconsistent about whether or not the Green Room is allowed to bring glass drinks through. As GR is currently one down down, I'd say to my fellow spoonies don't bother trying. It's not worth the hassle. #Eastercon2025

both the Writing the Body and the Morally Grey Mothers panels were so enjoyable and full of thoughful considerations. loved them! #Eastercon #Eastercon2025

Benjamin Cain ponders does Starfleet exclude the majority of disabled people from serving on Statships? That's not very utopia of it!

#Eastercon2025 #Reconnect2025

Ivor K. Hill and D.A Lascelles admire the mini recovery arc in The Dark Knight Rises but wish he hadn't just "gotten over" osteoarthritis. But as most of the audience didn't care, does it matter?

Charlotte McCarroll, vet and writer, tells us that some ID chips for pets already have remote access thermometers installed.

Jenni Coutts wants generation ship stories to talk about illness - do they have mini pharma plants?

16 watercolour paintings of dragons hung on a beige background

I'm at Eastercon and I have hung my dragons in the art show!

I don't actually want to say goodbye to them so the prices are high, but I also have prints for much cheaper

Please do go and see them if you're here, otherwise they might get lonely

Sarah Rees Brennan has mentioned Dracula and the entire panel are giddy and reminiscing over their first time experiencing it.

Sarah is talking about how it was all about "modern" tech like trains and telegrams, and now would be featuring IPhones and WhatsApp

Derek Landy says an advantage Ireland had is that creativity is admired in Ireland regardless of whether it is profit making, so it is as frequently crushed in kids by adults as in some other countries, and gives them the time to find their creative voices.

At my first #Eastercon2025 #Reconnect2025 panel! "Irish in the Marvellous Gutter", starring 4 Irish comic creators.
Right now Will Simpson is describing the comics of his youth ranging from The Beano to The Trigon Emperor, and how they all influenced him in different ways.

An EasterCon Reconnect pass with my name on it and a red ‘programme participant’ ribbon. A bookmark of a blond man in robes raising a glass of wine, some gold pins and a bookplate with a red and yellow design on it.

FRIENDS! I am in lovely Belfast for #EasterCon2025 #Reconnect2025. I have pins, bookmarks, bookplates and FREE BOOKS! Come chat to me if you want a free copy of THE OUTCAST MAGE. I am around for chat all weekend, but if you want to see me on a panel, deets of panels are below:

And, rather stupidly, in that shot I managed to cover the trans moon, which is the reason I chose this Tshirt today.

Me in a hotel room mirror, wearing a pussycat in bi colours, plus a purple Worldcon Pride T-shirt from Glasgow and a lilac silk shirt plus black trousers.

@thirdbird.bsky.social I decided it was time to get the old Bipussyhat out again...

Missing everyone at #Eastercon2025 and terribly jealous. I hope you all have the best time in Belfast!
