As “con season” opens on this second pandemic year, some cons are still virtual, others are giving virtual a try (and we’re all side-eyeing creepy cons who think we’re going to go to a big public in-person gathering this year. I’ll be staying in for a while, then avoiding big crowds for longer, thank you.) But even if you’re staying in, you can enjoy yourself with some incredible Yuri events. Put these on your calendar!
Wednesday, May 12 at 7PM (Eastern NA Time) Deb Aoki will be hosting a discussion with the creator of My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness and My Alcoholic Escape for Reality. Watch the interview with Kabi Nagata on the TCAF Youtube channel! (I also highly recommend the Loop Sessions panel with DJs doing live mixes as artists do live drawing online. I would 10000% subscribe to a channel of just this. It was brilliant.
June 5 21:00 JST (8 AM US EST, 1PM BST) Join myself, Verena Maser and James Welker at our Mechademia panel, Transporting Yuri Across Borders. As far as I can tell this is the first Yuri-focused panel at the Mechademia conference. The presentations are all going to be available by video after May 15, so when you register, you can watch them any time. Our panel will be for Q&A and I really hope I’ll see some familiar faces in the online crowd. I will be pie-eyed. I am NOT a morning person. ^_^ This conference costs $30 for non-academic/student participants; it looks pretty amazing. Register here. Registration opens to the public on May 16.
June 25-27 Stay home and join me at CasaCon!
The event is free on Discord. We’ll be talking about inspiring things in pop culture! I’ll be doing my “Secret” History of Yaoi and Yuri panel! Register here.
If you’d like me to be part of your online event, drop me a line! I’d love to join you virtually. ^_^
