Not long until GaymerX East in NYC!  Here’s my panel schedule which is much lighter than it was at GX4!!

Saturday November 12th

1:oo pm: Gaming Journalism from an LGBTQ Perspective

TimesOUT the LGBTQIA affinity network for The New York Times would like to moderate a discussion about the LGBTQIA perspective in gaming journalism.

2:30 pm: How to Twitch Safely as  POC/LGBTQIA/Female ID’d streamer 

Streaming on Twitch can be fun, but it can also be perilous for some of us. This panel will bring you some tips and tricks such as using bots, human mods and other methods to make your experience as stress free as possible.

4:00 pm: Miss Representation

Women from diverse backgrounds discuss the terrible job that media does of representing us and others from marginalized backgrounds. We focus on discussing women, but we’ll discuss all genders, and sexualities.

Sunday November 13th

12:30 pm What Playing RPG’s Can Teach you About Yourself

Playing an RPG is a great way to explore someone else’s mindset for a few hours a week, but the characters we make can teach us about ourselves too. A bard might show you love helping people out, or a sorceress might help you realize you’re a woman.

2:00 pm Your Story Doesn’t Need Cis Straight White Dudes

Tired of hearing about how some setting has no one like you because “the lore?” Let’s talk about stories where people like you (or like someone else) get to be the default, and straight white cis men are rare or not even present for a change of pace!

Hello everyone... I'm just me. Nothing too interesting here. I dig everything pretty much except country music, and stupid, ignorant, whiny, prejudiced people. I'm a long time gamer, fangirl, fan ficcer and spawn point of the #INeedDiverseGames hashtag on twitter, Wiscon attendee, part of the #FeministDeck created by the lovely KivaBay I've had a lot of bad shit happen to me. Sometimes I will post about it, other times I may vent about things for no real reason other than to get it off my chest. Remember, my blog, my rules. So, if you have nothing constructive to say in response to a post... are only going to argue with no real point, or feel what I say is offensive, lewd, crass or otherwise conflicts with your personal beliefs, then feel free to leave. If you followed me in some errant belief I am here to be your one black friend, or your unpaid, unwilling teacher in how to be a better person, leave now. I don't abide hate following, I am not your ONE TRUE SOURCE for all things racial, fandom, gaming, etc. Don't quote me and go well my black friend said it as a get out of fuckery free card. You've been given fair warning, so if you can behave like an adult pull up a chair and hangout. Otherwise, find the nearest exit and have a good day.
