New Website + Forms Open

The full news post can be found here:

But to summarize: The new website is up! Artist, panelist, and staff applications are open right now and can be found here. Those forms auto-close on June 30th at 11:59pm (US East). This year's mascot vote is also open, and can be found on the same page. The mascot vote only lasts a week, so get your votes in! The email newsletter is also being retired in favor of RSS, with more details available on the news page.

Making the post here since it uses a link to my Ko-fi and that feels strange putting on the official blog, but it's been decided that the Othercon website will be moving to Nekoweb from its previous host, which would cut our yearly costs almost in half.

The funding goal is $52 USD. Because the funding goal is so low, I'm using my Ko-fi this time instead of GoFundMe. It felt odd making an entire campaign this time compared to what GFM is usually used for, so I opted for this. Once the goal is met, I'll be able to pay the subscriptions and get the site up and running and migrate the domain over.

The goal progress will go uo through regular "buy me a coffee!" donations or buying something from my shop, although be aware that if you buy a physical item then part of the price involves getting the item made and shipped.

rocking myself back and forth saying "it's not photorealistic and that's okay it's not photorealistic and that's okay it's not photorealistic and that's okay it's not photorealistic and that's okay it's not photorealistic and that's okay it's not photorealistic and that's okay" with a haunted expression.

anyways this was my reference

"Safe Recipes for Nonhuman Identities," a lecture that Kiera Ember presented at Othercon 2021. As described by the lecturer, this "Contains food safety information and demos of three different dishes tailored to nonhuman identities." This was really fun, smart, and well put together!
