Since @cracksh0t was kind enough to invite me along for this week's astonishing #XMenMonday, I have a confession to make: I lied a little. My actual two favorite Jean Grey stories weren't published by Marvel, and aren't official canon.
ONE-CON GLORY, by @sarahkuhn, isn't a Jean Grey story in the traditional sense; it's the story of a fangirl, and her on-page defense of Scott and Jean is blazing, beautiful, and incredibly compelling.
Sarah's love of Jean is pure and true, and comes across very clearly in her writing. This is a very short novella, a romantic comedy for the nerdy age, and I cannot recommend it highly enough: fantasticfiction.com/k/sarah-kuhn/o…
The second is a story contained inside a novella: "The Heat Death of Julia Ash," by @catvalente, which talks about the fear of women with power, and what that costs us, through a veil of comic book continuity that is almost, if not quite, recognizable.
You'll find "Julia Ash" in THE REFRIGERATOR MONOLOGUES, and soon in the new Amazon TV series, DEADTOWN. barnesandnoble.com/blog/sci-fi-fa…

I have an ARC of THE UNKINDEST TIDE to give away! Reply by 3:50 PT (ten minutes from now) with why it should go to you, and I'll let the random number generator choose its destination.
And we're at time! Moving your responses into a spreadsheet now.
The RNG says that @alexcansmile has a reason to smile right now! Alex, please DM me your mailing address so I can pass it to @vixy for mailing purposes.

A few nice people have asked me, so: no, the Hugo Voter's Packet will not be updated to include THE UNKINDEST TIDE. It's not a part of this year's nomination.
The 2019 Hugo nomination for Best Series includes only the material published before nominations began. So if I don't win this year, I will already be 162,000 words toward refreshing my eligibility.
(THE UNKINDEST TIDE is 116,000. "Strangers in Court" is 25,000. "Hope is Swift" is 21,000. For a series to become eligible again, it must not have won previously, and have been off the ballot for at least one year, as well as adding 240,000 words since its last nomination.)

While your interpretation is, of course, always valid, getting angry at creators because you formed your opinion in the middle of the story really isn't.
Dodger isn't the first time people have seen asexuality where I didn't necessarily intend it. After FEED came out, several people wrote me to say how much it meant to them that Georgia was ace.
That trilogy was not done, and George wasn't ace, she was just someone with single-target sexuality. She wasn't interested in anyone else. Some of those same people got mad at me when it came out that George was straight and enjoyed sex with the one person who interested her.

I want to talk about the situation involving @AtelierHeidi, @ProJared, and @HollyConrad. Honestly, there are things that I’ve wanted to air out for quite sometime but didn’t because Heidi asked me not to. But let’s be quite clear: What Heidi is saying is true.
Jared, Holly, If y’all feel the need to block me, frankly idgaf, you can’t hide from what you did, and it’s disgusting to me that you think vague statements/hiding behind your friends are going to make this go away. It won’t. I know that Heidi has proof. So do you.
To be clear, I’m adding my voice to this not just because Heidi is a friend, but I watched a lot of this unfold throughout last year. Heidi and Jared were kind enough to invite me into their hotel room last Katsucon when I didn’t have other accommodations.

#CONFESSION: I didn't vote in 2010.

I didn't understand the importance of midterms. I was in college in NY, away from my home state of IL. I didn't know how I'd vote.

I told myself it didn't matter b/c both IL + NY are blue states, so my vote wouldn't make a difference, right?
#CONFESSION: I didn't vote in 2012.

Despite believing that presidential elections matter — in 2012, life got in the way. I lost my mom 1 month out.

Again, I didn't know how to vote while at college. Besides, both NY and IL are blue, so my vote wouldn't make a difference, right?
#CONFESSION: I didn't vote in 2014.

Out of college, I had moved to LA, but I didn't know if I'd be there long, so where would I vote? Besides, I thought midterms didn't really matter. Besides, CA is a blue state, like IL and NY, so my vote wouldn't make a difference, would it?

Week 2 CFB. Gonna go down the rotation and talk ACC and SEC:

GT @ USF (+3.5/63) Color me surprised by side and total here. Expected USF to be slight chalk but hasn't been the case. Total feels about a TD too high to me here but this is a very high variance game, IMO.
Not much to be gleaned from either team's Week 1 games against Elon and Alcorn State. I'll start with GT, I think they could be a candidate for improvement this year. I think the big upgrade was getting rid of Roof at DC and hiring Woody. Simplifying things is usually good.
Didnt' see GT week one but appears they are still trying to get Marshall to throw more and he's still throwing like the A-Back he played prior to QB. Earlier this week USF LB was asked about GT and he said, "Navy with athletes". Last time they played Navy, 52-45 win in 2016.

Every day next few days I'll share one #depression/#anxiety insight from my own experience. If it helps anyone a wee bit, it'll be worth it.
1. "#Happiness" can scare #anxiety patients. In our heads, things are always going wrong. Fear of a "happy" moment undone is doubly painful.
Sorry, this won't be a daily affair as I had earlier imagined. But here's insight #2 based on my brush with #depression/#anxiety.
