@Betty @villainousfriend @ryfulets @soph_sol i have gotten through an alarming number of pages on pdf in the last 24 hours

it’s definitely an Experience. not sure i could explain to anyone what that experience actually *is* but

@twistylittlepassages that is an excellent toad!

@soph_sol @ryfulets @villainousfriend @Betty thanks!

@Betty @ryfulets @villainousfriend @soph_sol is this the kind of thing that perhaps has a secret fandom .epub version or did you all just read it on webnovel.com?

@pamela yeah exactly! and even if eg. going to their online between con things would have the same risk level regardless not having an underlying subtext of “making sure you don’t die seems like too much effort” vastly improves the experience

@pamela i still wasn’t willing to risk the travel but i still trust them as an org and want to keep supporting them, which is a big diff from some other cons

@pamela yeah that seems like a much better / more reasonable policy! its similar to what a convention i (virtually, but the convention is hybrid) volunteer for has done the last two years — con spaces are everyone masks but public spaces may include non-masking congoers so be careful in lobby, hallways etc & DIY filtration in areas with lots of people (corsi-rosenthal boxes) which was a bit of an accessibility tradeoff bc of the noise but

I think 2022 infections were pretty low and almost entirely people who reported going to the hotel bar as part of track and trace, so there was an extra warning about that in this spring’s Covid packet

@pamela my line is personally at universal mask wearing outside of specific designated areas bc i don’t trust an institution that doesn’t have that strict of a policy is going to 1) make sure the filtration is good enough that people masking shortly before i showed up would actually be a meaningful risk reduction 2) actually ensure everyone who is asked to mask has a mask they can wear that works for them

@platypus v cool! will keep it on my list if i never need to fill a soggy spot

@platypus ooh i hadnt heard of that one—looks like Penn State Extension has an excellent article tho

sounds like a pretty plant & good year round resource for the local wildlife

@platypus ooh exciting! what are you planning to put in?

@Cyborgneticz Spanish has a couple pronunciations of j depending on region but the like “h” one is most common
