We love science fiction conventions! Especially indie fan-run conventions. But... they basically haven't changed since the 1970s.
How could cons change for the 21st century? We talked to a host of con veterans about panels, venues, volunteers, etc.

I did not win, but I had pretty dragons
The reward for a long, messy day of testing AV equipment, tossing old logo stuff, and counting extension cords for #Sirens26 is 3.5 Wingspan players figuring out how to play Wyrmspan. We think we've mostly got it!

Anyone wondering how Sirens assembles its programming schedule? Our expert, invited faculty form the backbone of our schedule -- see yesterday's announcement! -- but we also hold space for Sirens attendees to apply to teach as well. Here's how that works!

Sirens has been around since 2009, though we've taken a few years off to read, rest, and reimagine what Sirens could be. It might be different from what you remember--or from other events that you might know. As you make a decision about whether to attend, you might find some info helpful 🤓

The Trump administration's unlawful ban on trans servicemembers has never been about facts or reason.
It's always been about discrimination and punishing courageous members of our military purely because of who they are: www.advocate.com/news/doj-und...
