@LoirL @VRWorldSociety Thanks so much for your appreciation. I handled this panel with a whip and an ice cream cone. Everyone worked really hard! So sorry that Tanya Leal Soto wasn’t able to join, but she was handling a real production problem, now solved!

@asbruckman @liminalphase Still, I was personally attacked for “appropriation”, primarily by Quebecois women who were not native people. The story snowballed so that a year later an anonymous post at a conference said that I should never be admitted to Canada again because of my culture “crimes.”

[Brenda Laurel @blaurel]

@asbruckman @liminalphase Sorry but I need to speak about this. We did not use aboriginal / First Nations / native art or symbols in Placeholder. Each image was designed by our artists. What we “borrowed” was the idea of petroglyphs. My inspiration came from petroglyph sites all over the world.

Mitch McConnell and his cronies are malignancies on the human spirit.

@Spacekatgal Because it's the most fun of your life to find a character in your head. Most actors don't have to do campaign commercials!

@funnymonkey @Spacekatgal What a jerk.

I will take a tax increase to support Medicaid and to protect the most vulnerable among us. Pass it on. @RealDTrump2k16

My husband just gave himself lesbian fingernails with a Swiss Army knife. We are so alike.
