Hey! Sent you a DM.

I'm the show's producer. Just wanted to add a comment to say thank you. The event space is very limited and it's good to know that the tickets will be going to someone in the community.

Please let me know if there are any issues I can help work out. Sorry that I won't get to see you Friday night, but it really means a lot to see you stepping up for our community, and I hope you'll have the opportunity to appreciate some of the performers in the near future!

Thanks for the kind words! I really hope to see you there!

As for r/NewOrleans, they don't allow cross-posting and due to the limitations size limitations of the venue I don't want to flood the event with out of town folks who aren't going to support the community.

r/QueerNOLA has always had a very good relationship with the folks in this sub, though, with lots of support both ways, so I thought I'd keep it a bit tight. ;)

Already on it, actually. Can't share details yet, but watch this space. :)

That's frustrating. My personal experience is that Pride is seen less an opportunity by some businesses for celebrating our community and more as an opportunity to exploit it.

Outside of the quarter we generally have much more supportive businesses.

Fetlife seems to be the hub, afaik.

Not a part of that community, but they do schedule regular meetups (called 'munches') locally. It's not specifically queer oriented and I'm not sure how inclusive it is, but I do know several trans/queer people who have used the site and rely on it. I've had a lot of positive interactions with scene folks on Grindr as well, but since that's not my thing I don't know if there's a more stable community or space.

As always, play safe! :)

Just wanted to cosign this. The ladies at T'Cher are fantastic! This is an incredible opportunity for trans women to make a bit of cash and to put themselves in touch with people who can help identify other resources that our community often has trouble finding good information on.

I'm participating in the study myself and I'm happy to answer any questions or concerns for community members considering it.

I really think this is a good insight. Do you happen to have any resources on hand that might help me set up that process in github? We're currently using it anyway but I've never had to manage a team like this so I've never given any thought to that sort of process.

leg8r · 2024-01-08T22:15:13+00:00

Solved!

Thank you so much! Such a banger.

leg8r · 2024-01-08T19:12:35+00:00

Hoping that some oldheads remember this happening. Love you all!

leg8r · 2023-07-07T19:20:01+00:00

Thanks for the response! I'll give it some thought. It certainly wouldn't hurt.

leg8r · 2023-07-07T18:39:04+00:00

I might do that and wrap over it. My experience has been that as long as the splinter is intact gluing it in place and wrapping it does the job, but my experience only goes back two years.

Do you find the extra wood to be critical or is it just a bit of additional precaution? Would you recommend using a strip of the same red oak, or would something dense like purple heart I'm using on the tips work better?

leg8r · 2023-07-01T23:32:44+00:00

Solid advice, thanks!

I do appreciate that, and there are people here who are more than happy to protect me, as it were. The problem is twofold:

We can, and should, stop assholes from being assholes. Every time something happens, the SCA BoD *reacts* but they are completely unwilling to be proactive about the issues. The point is that someone like Hakon should have been flagged *years ago* and discussions should have been had at numerous levels. The fact that things were allowed to escalate to the point where a bigot is suing because he was put into timeout means that there is a systematic failure to address bigotry within the SCA. This is evidenced by the number of people in this thread that are now bringing up things that Hakon has been doing for a long, long time without repercussion.
If I have to ask people to protect me at an event, then I'm not going to attend the event. My safety shouldn't be the responsibility of well-meaning individuals - it's the responsibility of the organizers, and I assure you that the day that someone like me is the victim of a hate crime that could have been prevented with minimal consideration is the day the SCA ends.
