I wasn\\u2019t planning on releasing this recording so soon. But in the wake of massacre in Orlando, it appears that queer people simply existing is a radical act. So, here is a panel about queer people existing. I was struck, listening to it again, by how much laughing is in it, how much joy, how much hope. There\\u2019s complaints, too, and disappointment and sorrow. But it begins with laughter and ends with an expression of solidarity, and if that\\u2019s not a radical reaction to all of this, I don\\u2019t know what is.\\xa0

I\\u2019ve made it a point to do these \\u201cqueer visibility\\u201d panels for the past couple of years at Balticon, because, in the words of our forefathers, if you don\\u2019t start none, there won\\u2019t be none. A month ago, I thought it was important to stand up and be noticed. It\\u2019s more important now.

I\\u2019ll talk about Balticon properly in a few days, That episode will have a live reading I did. I\\u2019m not charging the Patreon supporters for this episode. We\\u2019ve all paid enough, already.\\xa0

In the light of the devastation, discussions like this feel so small. In the light of the devastation, discussions like this feel colossal.
