The first post-pandemic in-person sf con I know of in the US is happening this weekend: FantaSci, about military sf, in Durham, NC. Precautions are being taken, but if I know fans, there is plenty of maskless socializing going on where it can be gotten away with. I hope everyone is okay.

Unexpected milestone
May. 22nd, 2021 06:12 pmToday I had my first unmasked conversation with someone slightly less than 6 feet away.
It happened because while riding my bike to the bus stop, I skidded on a pinecone or some other debris, ran into the curb, and fell off. This caused a woman who was out for a walk nearby to come over, inquire if I was okay, advise me to take it easy and walk for a bit, comment that neither of us are spring chickens anymore, etc.
I am fine, just one big scrape and a bruise or two. Any bike accident I can stand up immediately after is not a bad bike accident.
