    Bonus question: what is your favorite holiday ritual?

    My favorite will always be dressing up for Halloween. I still have a closet full of costumes and will dress up for any excuse.

    We use to have a big dinner/watch a silly movie party on New Year's Eve but moving to a new area put the kabosh on it. We know 3 or 4 different folks that hold parties, so no one to invite . . .

    „Finding an Off-ramp in the Middle East War

    While the U.S. and Israel have damaged Iran in the #MiddleEast war, Tehran has expanded the conflict. With neither side positioned for a decisive win, the escalation risks are sobering. #Diplomacy is crucial to prevent renewed hostilities, but an immediate #ceasefire is the priority.”

    (Surprise, surprise…)

    „The renewed Israeli military campaign in Gaza, together with politicians’ statements, give insights into Israel’s intentions for the strip. In this Q&A, Crisis Group experts explain why these plans, if they proceed, portend more bloodshed and sow the seeds of further conflict down the road.“

    „WHAT SHOULD BE DONE?
    The U.S., European countries and regional governments should support efforts to reinstate the ceasefire in Gaza, which had previously helped de-escalate Red Sea tensions by addressing the Houthis’ stated motivation for attacks.“

  9. Q4: Have you written a story or scene that included costumes/fancy dress? If you haven’t, would you like to? Care to share any details?

    Alternatively, have you read a such a scene in someone else’s work . . . ?

  10. Does any of my writing include details of dress--either stuff like I see every day OR fantasy/medieval OR military science fiction OR . . .

    Absolutely. It's part and parcel of the alternate history thing. Having been a member of the SCA and knowing a bit (just enough to be dangerous) about clothes also helps.

  12. When I go to events, did I ever wear hall costumes or compete in any of the costume events?

    I wore a lot of costumes and competed when I was younger. And thinner.

    I still dress up when requested to judge cat shows.

    Here's a picture of me as the Huntress for the Noreason 3 masquerade in 1989.

  13. Q1: When you go to events, do you step up your wardrobe game or are you a professional all the way?
    Or are you in jeans and goofy T-shirts?

  14. Howdy you’all! It is time for #Writephant - our weekly get together to talk about something completely random.

    Today’s theme: Costumes/Cosplay/Hall Costumes

    But first, as we do every week, tell us how you’all are doing this Monday? What is bringing you joy today? And don’t forget your hastags.

    (Hörenswert!)

    „Tausende Pager und Walkie-Talkies explodierten in Libanon. Sie verletzten Hisbollah-Anhänger, aber auch Zivilpersonen. Steckt wirklich Israel dahinter? Droht jetzt ein Flächenbrand im Nahen Osten?

    Heiko Wimmen von der International Crisis Group in Beirut ordnet ein.“

    Creative costuming is so much fun. SF Conventions have opened up to "found" costuming--it's okay to just modify or put together outfits that you find in thrift stores, Walmart, online, etc. Add fabric paint and 3D-printed stuff, etc. Makes costume available to everyone with an imagination.

  18. Die #ICG gesteht ein, was auch Thomas Schmid schon ausgesagt hatte:

    Das Finanzministerium hat für Workshops bezahlt, deren Inhalte ausschließlich dem ÖVP-Wahlkampf zugute kamen.
    Das wird strafrechtlich interessant.
