This is going to be great.
Pardon me, but I don’t see a time scheduled for “Showing Up Trollishly To Make People Uncomfortable In A Vain And Vulgar Effort To Work Out My Crippling Social Issues And My Inability To Distinguish Sophomoric Misogyny From Brave Dissent.” Is that TBD?
Oh, is Hamza Tzortzis going to be there again?
makes me wish I could attend.
I would have preferred Tzortzis over Vacula or Wiesner. But yes, it will be great despite those trolls. I also hope that we can come up with a strong declaration that can send a signal out to improve things for women in in particular Ireland.
Further to #1, they haven’t scheduled any time for outraged venting about the welcoming speech.
Sounds like a great conference. I hope you have a terrific time, and if you manage to sort Michael Nugent out a bit, all the better!
Woohoo! Can’t wait! Dublin here I come.
Oh my I loved Dublin! Sooooo jealous of all the fabulous people who will be there. Have tons of fun around all the important work you’ll be doing!
