kafkonia 10:05 pm: Maybe I'm old fashioned, but some of these things make me say "No, I will not be tolerant and accepting of your alternate lifestyle. You need psychiatric help."
kafkonia 10:05 pm: But then I worry I might wake up one day and find I've joined the Westboro Baptist Church.
kafkonia 10:05 pm: (We have a neighbourhood in Ottawa called Westboro... I have never investigated what churches are present.)
beatriceeagle 10:07 pm: I think as long as you accept someone, you've got one up on the WBC.
kafkonia 10:07 pm: heh
katallen 10:08 pm: I believe the WBC are moderately tolerant of each other.
kafkonia 10:08 pm: There appears to be only a Unitarian Church in our Westboro.
cristalia 10:08 pm: Isn't it standard assumption now that the WBC aren't bigots, they're trolls?
kafkonia 10:08 pm: And I don't think the Westboro Unitarian Church would be quite the same.
cristalia 10:08 pm: Oh man, although now I want to start it.
kafkonia 10:09 pm: "We hate everyone, except all the people we tolerate."
beatriceeagle 10:09 pm: I think that if you act like a bigot all the time, it doesn't much matter.
beatriceeagle 10:09 pm: Ha!
cristalia 10:09 pm: You picket funerals with signs like "We accept your lifestyle and welcome your friendship."
beatriceeagle 10:09 pm: "We're sorry for your loss."
kafkonia 10:09 pm: "And those we accept."
kafkonia 10:09 pm: "But other than that -- WATCH OUT!"
cristalia 10:09 pm: "Can we get you anything? Drink? Cookie?"

In other news that is not about shit-disturbing on the Internet, today's e-mail has brought both a copyedited manuscript and an ISBN for Above. I give back the CEM next week, but the ISBN I may keep.

The new issue of Ideomancer is up, with fiction from returning author Sandra Odell, Emily Skaftun, and Su-Yee Lin; book reviews aplenty; and three poems from and an interview with our first featured poet in a while, Mari Ness.

Also, Chilling Tales has hit its Canadian release date and is available for those of you in the Canadas (if you are in the Americas or the UKs, you have to wait longer. Sorry.) This is the anthology that "Stay" is in, alongside a lot of very, very, very good Canadian horror writers. We are launching it at the bookstore in two weeks' time.

Aside from that? It is cold, and I am terrifically busy, although most of it is good busy.

I am ready, I think, for winter to be done now.

Hysterical laughter over the proposed placards for the Westboro Unitarian Church. *g*

If it has an ISBN, it must be real, mustn't it? Hooray!
