ALT A delightful photo from the recent aurora of a small cluster of trees against a purple sky, with the text "Continuum 17" underneath the text "Horizons" in the sky above the trees. Below the trees against the dark earth are the dates "May 16-18 2025"
ALT Amie Kaufman sitting at a table, looking up and to the right. In front of her are the words Continuum 17 Horizons, and her name.
ALT A purple drink, with a red fruit on top, and a straw sticking out of it. It is, also, unfortunately, out of focus. The one in the background is in perfect focus, but the one in the foreground... isn't. Oh well, better luck next time. (And what does this purple drink have to do with any of this post? Well, that's what one of the Guests of Honour was drinking.)
ALT I’ll be at Continuum in Melbourne this weekend, talking about publishing and social media! Come check out my panels, or if you see me around, feel free to say hi! Pandemic Publishing: Sat May 18, 3 - 3:50 PM Has publishing changed since 2020? And if yes, is that because of the pandemic, or other forces? How has it changed and what does that mean for authors and readers? BookTok: Sat May 18, 5 - 5:50 PM From viral dances to viral bestsellers, BookTok has become a major force in publishing. Our panelists discuss the hows, whys, upsides and downs. Alas Poor Hellsite: Sun May 19, 4 - 4:50 PM Farewell, Twitter. Hello, … X? The future of social media – and of fandom on social media. Do we go to Tumblr? Substack? Are we all going to go back to blogging? Is it time to get a Neocities account?
ALT A pile of stuff that was in a con committee person's bag. — Lanyard (badges optional) — Water bottle — Notebook — Reusable cutlery — Painkillers (ibuprofen and paracetamol) — a random fidget toy — a craft — reusable tote bag — full set of dice, just in case — a fan, because the Jasper’s temperature varies — a mask — ear buds — hand sanitiser — phone charger (battery and wall) — phone charging cord — pen case with highlighters etc
