I’d love to join a panel proposal for NWSA, if anyone is last-minute looking for a chair, respondent, or panelist! I will be there as DGS and to support students/colleagues, but would love to be on the program. Between Covid and children I have fallen out of the conference loop!

I can't overstate the importance of this investigative report by @byJudeDoyle. It's a very detailed analysis and history of how the far right is using trans people as a kind of an omnibus conspiracy theory to radicalise people who are notionally feminist. xtramagazine.com/power/far-r…

The space this convention creates each year has shaped my intellectual, social, and political world profoundly (and I’ve learned a lot about intentionally building shared worlds through my involvement with the organization as well). Please read, support, and help if you can!

LET'S #SaveWisCon! Big updates today from your friendly neighborhood feminist sci-fi/fantasy/speculative fiction con. TLDR: In addition to pushing harder on antiracism at our con, we're facing big challenges in terms of money and labor. 🧵
