Comments are welcome whenever you get a chance - even if that's hours or days later. Feel free to jump into whatever sub-threads intrigue you. More discussion is the point of the salon posts!
Got a question you're trying to sort out, or a thing you'd like to discuss? Lots of thoughtful interesting people with a wide range of interests show up here! Feel free to ask about things you're thinking about or trying to solve, as well as other kinds of chat.
Topic of the week
I am still at "Wow, May was exhausting" (not dire, but you know, I don't get to use this icon enough, so icon) though I have a little hope June will be easier.
(For values of 'easier' that involve driving an hour and change each way to present at a conference on Monday. This is a "I have 15 minutes as part of a panel discussion, plus I need to be social at lunch" thing at least, so the prep is not huge.)
My question for the day: What are you looking forward to this summer? What would you like to be looking forward to? (Summer is not my best season, because wow, do Jenetts not do well in heat, but July has some great plans in it.)
What I've been up to:
More progress on the Doctor Who watch (I'm up to Clara's second episode as an actual companion), a tiny bit of knitting, and a lot of pokinmg at our new catalog options.
House rules:
This is a public post, feel free to encourage other people to drop by, just note the 'if posting anonymously, include a name people can call you in responses' rule.
* Consider this a conversation in my living room, only with a lot more seating. I reserve the right to redirect, screen, and otherwise moderate stuff, but would vastly prefer not to have to.
* If you don't have a DW account or want to post anonymously, please include a name we can call you in this particular post. (You can say AnonymousOne or your favourite colour or whatever. Just something to help keep conversations clear.)
* If you've got a question or concern, feel free to PM me.

Date: 2018-06-01 02:02 pm (UTC)But I do look forward to:
- summer dancing classes!
- Finncon, the annual Finnish sf/f con in July
- getting my first proper long summer holidays in a couple of years. Maybe I'll even manage to travel! Need to make some plans.
- and hopefully swimming in natural waters at some point. Last year I didn't manage it because the waters were so cold, and I miss it!
- also, there are some books whose release I'm looking forward to, like Becky Chambers's third book

Date: 2018-06-01 02:25 pm (UTC)Swimming in natural water sounds lovely! It's one of the things I loved as a child (we used to go out to a small cottage in Michigan with a lovely lake: I am weird about ocean swimming, and New England lakes often come with enough plant growth to make me not want to swim in them, but the right lake, mmmm.)
