Thread, on pulling out of WorldCon.

(I'm going to be a virtual-only attendee this year, even though I'd hoped otherwise. Haven't had COVID, fully vaxxed, but getting to DC means 3 airports, 2 or more flights, 16+ hours door-to-door. It's just too risky. Maybe next year …!) https://t.co/keldEdc7WM

It is really sad to see so many living in fear. The vaccines should’ve stopped that, but the terror dwells in them, has been inculcated in their souls; it’s their world now. I think for many there is nothing now that could eradicate it.
