This has not been a good year for cons, has it? I feel really bad for anyone who’s running one these days. One thing that really hit me about the WisCon situation is that I distinctly remember seeing comments following ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) theferret’s little mess that said something to the effect of, “Well, at least Wiscon is safe...” I have a few more thoughts on this, but I’m going to put them in a separate post. I think.
Speaking of cons, there is a big HP con here in Dallas this summer. I’m not attending the actual con, but if any of you are going to be in town and want to meet up, I’d love to see you.

Seeing an ad for Project Runway last night made me giddy with joy!

Some words about the "Sexual Assault Project:" Let's face it, that's what it was no matter what cleverly deceptive name some fanboys want to give it.
Other people much smarter, better educated and more experienced than me have addressed this horror and done a much better job than I ever could of explaining what's wrong with it and why it's objectifying at best and sexual assault, and anyone who hasn't seen it should check out the many posts linked in this post for more coherent, intelligent responses. My own little rant is mostly about my own feelings and boy, did this set them off. I've been stewing over it for a couple of days now.
