There are probably people involved in throwing this shindig who don't know who I am. That's okay. A lot of people don't. I am in the quantum superposition of nobody and somebody. I exist in a liminal space adjacent to importance.

For those at
@worldcon2018 who don't know me, let me tell you who I'm not. I'm not a member of the SFWA or any other organization, professional or otherwise. I'm not affiliated with or employed by any publisher. I'm not represented by anybody. I'm not representing anybody.1 reply 0 retweets 64 likesShow this thread -
I'm not a member, I'm not a joiner, I'm not an employer nor an employee. Freedom is not just another word for nothing left to lose, but that's a nice place to start.

You know who I am? I'm a gadfly. I don't need your good opinion, I don't need your kind regards, I don't need a little favor, I don't need your contact information. You have nothing that I want and can't offer me anything I need that I can't get for myself.

So I am coming to Worldcon 76 in San Jose exactly as I planned to. I am not going there for the industry schmoozing and I am not going there to network and I am not there to win friends and influence people.

I am going there to be Jenny on the Spot. I am going there to be in the room where it happens, if it happens. If anything happens. And if anything happens to my family? I will be angry. And I am like an existential Incredible Hulk, my friends. You won't like it if I'm angry.

Queer folks going to San Jose or thinking about going to San Jose? Uncertain about your reception or safety? You can holler at me any time and I will be your escort. I will be your neutral observer. I will sit up front at your panel and be your buddy in the crowd.

We'll work out the details closer to the con but I will set up a rapid response system so that anybody who needs backup gets it. We are going to have each other's backs.

I am not remotely joking about any of this. We will form up like a queer Voltron.

Fudge it. I suspected something like this was going on when I heard from so many people passed over for programming, but this is just so blunt. I'm going all in. Who wants to do some counterprogramming with me? Let's put together some guerrilla panels. https://twitter.com/halleluyang/status/1021238143117275136 …
