• We have surpassed the Kickstarter goal for Fight Like a Girl by a stunning $1,000!!!!!! I am in complete shock. Thank you to all of you. <3
• I have been invited to participate in a BBC panel on Adria Richards and sexism in geek culture tomorrow! I'm going to be debating a mens' rights activist!  I am a terrible debater so I will own that even under

After years of dreaming, I am moving to Brooklyn.

Good luck with debating the MRA. They are the WORST. About the only thing going for them is none of their mansplanations are grounded in anything resembling earth logic or reality so their arguments are pretty easy to pick apart.

Hope the move goes well!

Wait wat you're in Boston now? How did we totally switch coasts?

[mildlunacy]

Yeah, haha.... grad school... which is sort of killing me... ^^;; But yah, plan to return to my home coast ASAP-- I would've hit you up if I thought you were still here. D:

Congratulations on a lot of very awesome stuff! And good luck on the panel - I don't know much about Adria Richards or the specifics of her case, but from what little I've heard it doesn't sound like ANYONE in that situation deserved to be fired, and surely she is suffering more backlash than the people who actually behaved badly.

[cellia]

Yeah, very few people are really focusing on how it seems like a huge overreaction by the companies involved (and acting as if Richards was more responsible for the dude's firing than his company)

[cellia]

Good luck with everything! I've been talking with quite a few people about the PyCon thingy!

Want to hear all about NYC adventures!
