So hey, hi, Glasgow Worldcon, can you tell me how multiple accusations of sexual harassment, including from within your own committee, does not violate your Code of Conduct? To quote The West Wing, explain it to me slowly using small words and visual aids, because I'm confused.

So I've had a toothache for the last few days that I thought, for reasons, was probably a sinus infection. I'm less certain of that now and I think that there is a $1000 or so dentist bill and a root canal in my immediate future. Also OWCH!

Hey, hi! If someone could explain how multiple accusations of sexual harassment do not violate a code of conduct, I would appreciate it. And yes, I'm looking at you Glasgow.

Anybody out there who is not friends with me on Facebook able to access my public posts pertaining to the Hugos? It seems it should be possible but I've received email indicating that it can't be done. Thanks

If you’re a major publisher buying shitty off the shelf AI art for what you’ve told your author is a major release, you’re insulting everyone and you’re the literal embodiment of the problem. Do better.

Dave McCarty is a piece of shit, obviously. I absolutely believe those that have accused him of sexual harassment and I am certain more accusations are forthcoming.

Dave McCarty is emotionally abusive, generally manipulative, and has sexually harassed myself and numerous others. I’ve spoken openly about this and made CoC complaints when possible.
He is not a missing stair, he is a creepy handyman who has been using his previous community service as a shield.

*sigh* People now keep messaging me to offer the actual details. I don't care about the actual details. The point is that the warnings about abusers only going out on the whisper network and private conversations is the fucking problem.

I know we want some way of making this year’s Hugo mess right, but attacking and penalizing the writers who won because other nominees were wrongly disqualified isn’t the way.

I wish to announce my resignation from the board of CanSmofs. I can not effectively represent the board given today's revelations about the Hugos and my part in it. I want to emphasize that nobody has requested this. It is of my own volition, and I wish them and the Montreal bid well.
