wiscon panel signups

[maevele]

are up. and every year I get so fucking excited, and sign up for panels, and then wind up so overwhelmed that I drop at least one, and have angst about getting up in front of people and being on a panel, so maybe I shouldn't volunteer for any panels this year?

but goddamn, I want to sign up for the mary daly panel and rant about her true legacy to feminism, and there are class panels! and intersectionality panels, and a bunch of others I'd love to be on, maybe. But I know the more actually scheduled I am for the con, the more stressed I will be. but I feel even more a part of the con if I am on a panel or two. But I never really have enough to say on a panel to justify taking up a seat, but I don't want to be that person who rants too much from the audience. Maybe I should just sign up for the Daly one, and get that shit off my chest? Or trust that someone else in the wiscon community, who is maybe better at public speaking, is gonna cover what I wanted to say, and I'll just go to the panel, and speak up as needed?

heh, I could offer to moderate it and shut down everyone who tries to defend Daly.


aaaaargh, I don't know.

Aw, man, thank you! Coming from someone as awesome as you especially that is v. flattering! (I was on the veg*nism panel a couple of years ago but still feel Imposter-y about most other things, alas! Which sucks cuz I actually kinda like public speaking...)
