I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La...

[rhivolution]

I don't know what to say about the WisCon PTB firmly deciding on the Elizabeth Moon thing.

I'm not particularly relieved, because honestly, I didn't think they'd get around to doing something. Or at the very least, I didn't think they'd get around to doing something without alienating people even MORE than had already happened. (As the child of an alcoholic, I am now and have always been a massive cynic. If I expect people to let me down, then I won't be as hurt when they do.)

There's still this massive fucking divide! How can we be okay when all this shit has gone down and people are hurting?

Please note that I'm not calling anyone out in particular. I'm just stunned at the amount of work that needs to be done, yet. This is not the fuck over.

(Also, it'll be interesting to see what will happen in mainstream SF in response to this. [sigh])

I again hat-tip nisi_la for her grace and forbearance, by the way. She deserves the GoH accolade.

COSIGN.

This disinvitation is not the end of the trouble -- it's just the beginning of the really hard work.
