Registration for CONvergence 2012: Wonder Women (at which SkepchickCon will be held, along with three nights of FtB room party) is about to go up in price. Register by May 15, it’s $60 for an adult. Register at the door, it’s $100. They really want to know ahead of time how many people to prepare for.
Dithering about whether to pay for a weekend of geeky goodness? Well, the schedule is just up, so I’m not spoiling anything when I tell you you don’t want to miss this.
Don’t Feed the Trolls
Friday, 2 p.m., Atrium 4Sexism, misogyny & the internet. A discussion about the recent wave of internet bullying against women and what we can do about it.
Who will be on this fun little panel of pro tipsters?
- Rebecca Watson
- Greg Laden
- Heina Dadabhoy
- Jason Thibeault
- Yours truly
It should be a staid and sedate discussion, I’m sure. We’re all so…polite. Sweet even.
So, come on. Register. You know you want to.

This panel is going to be awesome. I’m bringing a water gun. I don’t know why. It just seems like the right thing to do.

That sounds like an awesome panel… I’m liable to turn green if I think about this any further.
Water pistols are handy against trolls, and rampaging cats as well.

Surely ‘Sexism, misogyny, the internet, and hypocrisy‘ would be a better title.
I hate to talk of glass houses and whatnot.

No, you don’t, Tuvok. If you hated it, you wouldn’t do it. See what happens to your critical faculties when you hang out with friends like yours?

Laden is perfect for that panel. He’s still trolling his own blog.
