The Grand Master sculpture is gorgeous. My acceptance speech was not my best delivery, in part because I almost set the podium on fire (the podium lamp + some tape, just smoldered and smoked a bit but still, yikes)! But I had a lovely time seeing old friends and making new ones.
SFWA is Chicago-bound shortly! 🥳

no one should respect these clowns, Pelley justified
NOPE.
Whew. Finally recovering from this weekend at the Nebulas. Big congrats to the Nebula finalists and winners! Our future Grand Masters. The ceremony was lovely and the whole con was a tight-run ship; big thanks to the staff!
I posted the text of my speech on my website. It's slightly different bc I adlibbed a lot and did some hand-edits at the last minute, but it's pretty close to what I actually said.

Official release is on June 20, available in most game and book stores. You can still preorder here: greenroninstore.com/products/fif...

Hi, all. It’s been a while since I updated this blog! Figured now was a good time, since I just became SFWA’s newest Grand Master! I got an award for it at the Nebula Conference this past weekend, but...
I’ve said it before and will say it a few more times. When Trump 2.0 came for accreditation I knew we had crossed into a different era of white reclamation. Precise, focused, stealth.
Anyway, you probably don’t want these reforms.

Bari Weiss addressed Scott Pelley's firing at the top of this morning's editorial meeting:
"I hope I speak for everyone here when I say I'm only interested in working in a newsroom that is built on trust and mutual respect. We cannot do our work without it. That foundation was broken on Monday."
