I'd never read Skud's posts on harassment before. I feel deeply
honored that one of the places she comes to recharge her energy is
Wiscon!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiscon
If issues of tech and science and feminism interest you, Wiscon is by
choice one of the places that people are doing the hard work every
year, and having hella fun doing it!
(Wiscon is to blame for me becoming a Wikipedian; I was introduced to
the Feminist SF Wiki by a panel/workshop at a Wiscon, and that led me
on to the Hard Stuff!)
