You asked, and we listened. You wanted more communication by email, instead of just the firehose that is social media. So we introduce to you our new CONfab Newsletter, the CONfab Confidential.

What will this newsletter be? It will bring you monthly updates on the calendar of events for the Discord server, important dates for the con, as well as a peek behind the curtain of what goes into making CONfab and some introductions to your concomm and a spotlight on our volunteers.

As the con gets closer, it'll include information on where to find roommates for the con, restaurants in the area, and tips for newcomers.

If all of this sounds like something you would like, the sign up link can be found right on our front page.

As always, we look forward to seeing you in Chicago, October 22-25th at the Springhill Suites, Chicago O'Hare!

Birdfeeding

Today is cloudy and chilly.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a small flock of sparrows.  I heard a cardinal singing but didn't see it.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 2/14/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I put out more birdseed and a fresh cake of peanut suet.

EDIT 2/14/26 -- I spread a bucket of mulch around the apricot tree.

EDIT 2/14/26 -- It's been drizzling here, just enough to wet things, not enough to leave puddles anywhere I've seen.

EDIT 2/14/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

It is now raining enough to leave a few tiny puddles on the patio.

I am done for the night.

I’m opting for an oldie, but goodie…The Descent

This one is always in my top 10 favorites and a classic in the creature feature genre…just a great movie all around 👍🏻

I remember in the early days like maybe 2015 or 2016? One of my disabilities is bad memory, but I was like an early teenager when I found the channel. I used to love that channel a lot. It would be like top 15 scariest facts, top 15 scariest videos, Top 15 scariest creepypastas, top 15 scariest things kids said, top 15 scariest glitches, etc. I use to get really get creeped out by the narrator chills. I don’t know just something about his voice really added to it. At some point, though I just stopped watching them because I don’t want to say they fell off, they went from being in my opinion one of the most disturbing channels you can find to literally everything is just so fake or unbelievable. I don’t want to call them a slop channel, but they went from just the scariest stuff to everything is so fake. Maybe it’s because I’m older now and I don’t want to be that type of person but I feel older top 15 Was Way better than the newest stuff I’m going to be 26 at the end of March. I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this way. I just feel they really fell off and that’s kind of sad because the channel used to be so good but I moved onto other scarier channels.

Not a good kind of PSA, I'm afraid

In the comments of [personal profile] spikedluv's final post, which she made on Feb. 2, there's info saying that she died unexpectedly later that day, with a link to her obituary. :( No cause of death given.

Thank you, [personal profile] shipperslist, for the heads-up.

ETA: [personal profile] lunabee34 confirms in comments. ;_;
(Note: I'm taking the info in good faith as posted; I don't know the person who shared it, and while [personal profile] spikedluv and I were mutuals for a long time, I never knew her wallet name. But the obit info matches what I did know and she was an extremely regular poster, so even a day or two of silence was worrying.)

Worry, Don't Panic, Over Trump's Efforts to Subvert the Elections by Andy Craig. A nice summary of Trump's possible angles of attack and their plausibility. Worth sharing with folks who think Trump is going to cancel the midterm election.

Stop Bullying J Cole (YouTube) by FD Signifier. I basically only know J Cole as the guy who stepped into the Drake vs Kendrick beef and then hurriedly stepped back out, but this made me feel a little defensive of him. I appreciate the uncool earnestness.

Totally worth watching btw, when I say it's not the greatest show, I just mean it's a mystery box show by the producers of Lost. So if you've seen that, you know the formula. But wow is it downright creepy at times. Binged all three seasons in just a few days and I'm looking forward to season 4.

Also, I need some recommendations . I will be alone tonight and want something gripping and terrifying without much body horror.

My Bloody Valentine is the only Valentines day movie. Can and will you name some others for me? My husband and I have a bet going. he says there's only one, but I know there's more. He doesn't like horror movies and said if I can come up with five more, he will watch one with me tonight. please help me. I really really want him to watch a horror movie with me tonight.
