    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?

  2. says

    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!

    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!
