WisCon 39

[orockthro]

Back from WisCon and redeposited in the real world. The con is in my own city so it's not like I left... but I feel like I just spent three days in a wonderful utopia, and it pains me so very much to have had to leave. Wiscon is a three day home. I've never felt so perfectly comfortable as when I'm at a panel about race representation in the Agent

Aw, I'm glad you had a nice time! It is annoying how it always has to end a little too soon, though...

Ak! I replied to this in my head but not in reality xD Oops
Thanks! It was such a lovely time... and yes. :( Not nearly long enough. But the optimist in me keeps saying that's what makes it special.

Sounds like a really interesting con! I love the idea of pronoun stickers for name badges and social interaction cards! :-)

It's a fantastic one. I've been the last three years, and want to go until the end of time.

The website isn't the most... elegant, but gives you an idea. Here's the lineup for what some of the panels were: http://www.wiscon.info/grid
People really used the pronoun stickers, and the social interaction cards too! It was great to see their use become so normalized, you know? Cis gendered folks using the stickers too. :) Made me really happy.

Thanks for the links! And it's great to know that the use of pronoun stickers and social interaction cards have become so normalized! :-)
