@Priyajsridhar
I've been missing #Writephant for too long and I'm sorry!My joy comes from having actually gotten out to see movies in the theater recently. With my hubby, even.
Also, I went to Worldcon and haven't talked about it. There were ups and downs, but the best part was meeting [IRL] @Priyajsridhar and one of my teachers, Henry Lien. Take his classes--they're amazing. I also spent some time with the remarkable Cat Rambo. And did some panels. Good times.

@NicoleJLeBoeuf As it happens, I attended 2024 Worldcon and therefore I have been receiving correspondence from 2025 Worldcon organizers regarding Hugo nominations. All their e-mails began with "Hello Szymon Sok", while as you can see my last name is "Sokół". Over 30 years since Unicode was invented they still can't handle non-English characters. Of course this could be written up to technical ineptitude rather than negligence. However, organizers of 2024 Worldcon were able to handle it correctly… maybe because it took place in Europe, where people are accustomed to such strange names as Ångström, Müller, Egaña, Ørsted, Đurđević or Černík?

Seattle Worldcon 2025 was an incredible experience! A huge shout-out to everyone who came to every panel with the word "solarpunk" in it like it was their job. ✊
My big takeaway is that we're all looking for hopeful visions of the future - the people want solarpunk! So honored to be able to present my research and network with amazing authors & organizers in such a beautiful city.

Worldcon Report
This will be a very short report because we had to leave the con early because Kelley was unwell. (Not Covid or flu or other respiratory stuff, so no worries for anyone who spent time in close proximity with either/both of us.)
We registered on Wednesday, and I went straight into my first event, a table talk. (Thanks to Heather, Melody, David, Al, and Ralph for the interesting conversation!) Then we went to the bar with a couple of friends for a couple of hours.
Then we went home, because I had medical appointments the next day.
We came back on Thursday afternoon, checked into the hotel, and made our way to the convention centre for my autographing session (I was thrilled by the number of Slow Rivers I signed—probably the most in one day since the book first came out, lovely!) then we went to the bar again for a couple of hours, with some different friends.
Then I did my worldbuilding panel, which was delightfully well-attended. Then back to the hotel. Then cocktails and dinner with a friend. Then the bar again…for a long time. Many conversations. Many, many drinks. Much pleasure. An all around great time. But no sleep until 2 am—and we had to be up early the next day for yet another medical appointment.
Sadly, Kelley was feeling unwell. We were both exhausted before the convention began and though, as usual, all the wonderful conversation were rejuvenating, when you add all the to-and-fro of appointments, the lack of sleep (on top of several days in a row of little sleep), the cumulative stress we’ve been under for a while and, well, we hit the wall. So without even getting a cup of tea, never mind breakfast, we just packed, drove straight to the hospital (where Kelley slept for an hour in the back of the parked van while I went in and got all the fucking tests), then drove home. Kelley went straight to bed and I sat with the cats and started emailing apologies to people for the parties, the events, the interview, and the meetings I was about to miss. Sigh.
I truly am sorry we had to miss all those. These kinds of conventions are a great opportunity to see people I haven’t seen for years, who’ve travelled from other states, countries, and continents, or who perhaps I’ve only spoken with before via email or social media, or in Zoom meetings.
But even as I type this, I can still feel the vast fatigue like a subterranean lake moving dark and deep beneath the surface and I know we did exactly the right thing. There will be other cons, other parties. I’m just glad we got to be there for a while.

For the #WorldCon #WorldCon2025 Hugo Awards, I see per the stats released https://seattlein2025.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/2025-Hugo-Voting-Statistics.pdf that it was the Best Fancast category where an entry won by only ONE vote (Ranked Vote: Eight Days of Diana Wynne Jones 196, Worldbuilding for Masochists 195). Our votes matter! Congratulations to all winners (and all finalists, and everyone who shows up in the long list when that's released). Also, I do really enjoy the podcast hosts' deep dives into Diana Wynne Jones's character doubles, themes, etc., even though I have never read DWJ. If you've been holding back, give it a try!

So I am still processing that this happened last night. Thank you to everyone who made this happen. 2024 was the most difficult year of our lives, and I am humbled by the care and love we have received from each and every one of you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. #HugoAwards #WorldCon2025

Is anyone else puzzled by how the #HugoAwards2025 happened several hours ago already, but there's nothing on the official Seattle Worldcon social media or website about the winners (I had to look at Locus's list to find who got them)?

This was some fun, I totally enjoyed the questions after screening two of my short films at #worldcon also quiet an experience to watch films with people on a shared screen online.

@thalassa I'm happy to tell you there are over 200 messages in the Seattle #WorldCon2025 Discord channel for that panel. People discuss panelist recommendations and give their own, there. I also recommend the works of two of the panelists (I haven't read the others): Caroline M. Yoachim, Ray Nayler. #WorldCon

Wonderful panel at #Worldcon2025 "Artificial Honestly"
Though I really wish for a mashup of that panel with yesterdays "Beyond the Torment Nexus" with @scalzi

On Wednesday due to technical issues we couldn't screen my films, at #worldcon but this will now happen on Saturday,
https://seattlein2025.org/program-and-events/schedule/#VIR051
If you are participating in #worldcon2025 here is a chance to see two of my most recent films, and there will be a QandA after that you can give me feedback.

I was very amused to find out from @mwl that USENIX Security and #WorldCon2025 are going on in the same hotel in Seattle this weekend. I imagine there's some overlap! I haven't been to USENIX Security, but I have been to USENIX Lisa, and of course to multiple #WorldCon conventions. This weekend I'm at WorldCon virtually, and volunteering as tech host (Zoom facilitator etc.) for multiple panels. Except for work yesterday, and tomorrow night, and Saturday.

I'm starting to get the worrying feeling that the Seattle Worldcon Discord channel has nowhere for people to upload pictures of their cats.
