Good morning everyone!
Just a super gentle remind that I have 0 involvement with HavenCon. I don't know what's going on or if there's another year or anything. I don't communicate with anyone from the org these days.
If you have questions, reach out to them :) <3 <3
I know today has been hard for a lot of my trans friends. I wish I had the words to make it better, but I don't.
If you need help, or someone to talk to, @TransLifeline is here.
Reach out and know that you are loved, by me, by many. ❤️❤️❤️

Just a friendly reminder that this is not the official HavenCon account, and we are not able to provide answers to convention related questions. Sorry everyone! <3
@FracturedInfini I cannot say that is not fair. But I also will not tell people what they should/shouldn't do in respects to the event. But if they want to continue with legal action and fight this fight...I don't see how they will pay for both and it could impact the event.
@Angelo_Plvr I would like to avoid legal action, but they are making that less likely by remaining silent. If they willingly surrender the name and the accounts attached to the name, no further action will be taken
If not, I will wait for the pending trademark to complete proceed from there
@havencontx Per the articles of incorporation and federal tax filings, the business entity is It's Your Haven Foundation, HavenCon was a name that I created prior to that incorporation and is not registered or owned by the foundation. Thus my trademarking it under my name.
@havencontx Re-branding would include not using my (pending) trademarked name, which is the core of this dispute. I created the name and have revoked my permission to use the name/images/etc. You have done the opposite by creating new accounts, etc with the same name.
@KarinWeekes@havencontx I guess that makes the response official then. Thank you, and again, I do apologize. I really wanted something better than all of this.
@KarinWeekes Karin, I wish you hadn't got caught up in this as I think the world of you. But simply put, Michael has done minimal work with maximum gain. Some of that work was meant to be financial and organizational, but it was never completed. That is why I brought in Nicholas...
@CapnNacell Someone said it sounded like a HS Burn Book.. *shrugs*
The amount of emotion expressed implies they were probably intoxicated (if you knew this person you'd understand)
@tehsooz I invited you, a straight ally, into our world and you chose to wrestle control away. When that wasn't happening, you attacked me personally. There is no amount of OK here. And those that supported that are just as bad.
@tehsooz When decisions are made under mental duress...as this one was..there comes a point of reflection. You made me feel attacked, alone, and segregated from my community. You chose your words with the intent to cut deep, and they did. I didn't feel I had a choice..now I do.
@kvetcherkitten Absolutely, I have simply been waiting on a proper DIRECT response from them. Which to date I have not received. Though I guess this all shows their intentions in a round about way. I do still believe it important for those that may be asked to support to know both sides.
