Harry Potter and assorted other fandoms Previous 20 Jul. 14th, 2014 DetCon1 Schedule So I'm just popping up at random here in the journal-sphere to mention that I'm appearing on Programming at DetCon1 , the North American Science Fiction Convention (NASFiC) that's happening in Detroit starting this Thursday. Here's my schedule (or at the website ): ( panels panels workshops panels ) I'll also have work on display and for sale in the art show.

Arise, all women who have hearts, Whether our baptism be of water or of tears! Say firmly : We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We, women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country, to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own. It says: Disarm, disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence vindicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of council. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them then solemnly take council with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, man as the brother of man, each bearing after his own kind the sacred impress, not of Caesar, but of God. In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask that a general congress of women, without limit of nationality, may be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient, and at the earliest period consistent with its objects, to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace.

Geez. In other news, have seen Iron Man 3 twice now, and still enjoyed it. Some things are problematic, but on the whole - yay. Really enjoying the fanfic coming out of it, too. Been trying to get the house in order, now that we're hopefully done with major interior renovations for a while. I actually have books on my bookcases now, although they are in no way organized or cataloged. Have not found all of them, either. I am sure I am missing a few that must be in odd boxes. I did set up my sewing machine, though. So, yay. This entry was originally posted at http://zephre.dreamwidth.org/502770.html . comments posted to original post.

Wow, this is a long long long list. When appropriate, I have clustered by pairing rather than listing by date. ( semi-organized list of stuff ) For the record, my art is ok to use for icons with proper attribution.

I may post about it sometime. Maybe. In the meantime, here is today's fun chat transcript: me: so I sent my parents the link to the trailer for the new Les Miserables movie , and Dad said that we should move beds into the theater so we can watch it til the cows come home. Jaye: nice to know this is a genetic condition Yeah... I may have seen The Avengers five times since April. Hey, I come by it honestly! Also, my parents are surprisingly serious Les Miz (the musical) fans. Everything stops in their house when the Anniversary Concerts come on PBS. And sometimes they call me to be sure that I know they're on. I ♥ them. p.s. the trailer: This entry was originally posted at http://zephre.dreamwidth.org/501804.html . comments posted to original post.
