Othercon 2021 and I swear I'm not dead

[obligatorycoffee]

Yeesh, I need to get better at cross posting from my website that I actually occasionally post updates on. For the most part thought, fieldwork has been killing me, so I've been way too lazy busy to post much. Anyway, we're in the thick of Othercon 2021, which has been a blast so far! I gave a panel on food ideas for alterhuman/nonhuman identities, which is up on Youtube. I sound like a five year old in the recording, but I still thought it came out relatively well. I'd like to do another panel next year, probably food-related if there's interest, but we'll see!

Think I saw you there. Didn't attend your panel, though I'll give it a listen.

Any panels you particularly enjoyed? Personally I liked Page's lecture a lot; it was pretty illuminating. The framework of religious development that they mentioned isn't one I'd ever heard before, but it's one of those things that, when you hear it, makes a whole lot of things suddenly make sense.

I loved loved loved Page's panel. Extremely well informed on the topic, and the jokes had me dying. I learned a ton! I enjoyed Pale's panels too, and the inspiring "go forth and write about your experiences" was really motivating, but the one I think that stuck with me the most was the Live Like an Animal: A Discussion on Species Euphoria, surprisingly. I really needed that hit of "go live like you want to live" instead of bottling it up which I'm so prone to do.

Unfortunately I missed a lot of the other panels though, so I'll have to go watch the ones that are up online when I have a little more time.
