Open Source Boob Project

2008-04-24T06:24:55Z

Whump: Adding link to RivKat's LJ entry.

The '''Open Source Boob Project''' was a short-lived proposal for women at cons to wear buttons signaling "yes you can (grope my breasts)" or "no you can't (grope my breasts)". Furor ensued; poster recanted in the name of [[con safety]].

Interesting discussions that came out of the furor:
* [[sexism]] and [[male privilege]] (of course) - many, many posts
* [[geek male psychology]] - many posts
* [[geek female psychology]] - some posts
* [[con safety]]

==A history in links==

And that I will also encourage anyone else who is groped without their consent to sue the hotel and call the police.''
*[http://kate-nepveu.livejournal.com/323736.html Kate Nepveu], 4/22: ''If you are a stranger, especially a man, perhaps especially in a group of other strangers who are men, and you come up to me and say, "You're very beautiful. I'd like to touch your breasts. Would you mind if I did?": You will put me in fear.''

It's something many of us want to do - it's an empowering and liberating act. I wish this was the kind of world where say, 'Wow, I'd like to punch you in the face,' and people would understand that it's not a way of reducing you to a set of bruises and ignoring the rest of you, but rather a way of saying that I may not yet know your mind, but your face inspires passion.''

I do have to say, however, that if I'd read theferrett's post about OSBP before someone offered me the pin, I would have turned it down, and perhaps gone into feminist reasons why I was declining. ... I have to say that I didn't feel honored to be part of the group once my body had been reduced to "gropes". Sorry, but word choice matters.''

Women's bodies do not exist to make straight men feel better about themselves. Women have their own shit to deal with, and a lot of the time, that shit is us, even (sometimes especially) when we're trying to do better. And trying to be the spokesperson for a movement without acknowledging, accepting, and fucking dealing with your position of power is just working at crosspurposes to that same movement.''

This project stood that on its head. It was in fact a fine case of feminist rebellion, combined with general rebellion against socially defined rules and toward opt-in interpersonal intimacy and appreciation. ... I think it was a good thing, and I admire my friends who started it, and I stand by them, and I am not ashamed that I was pleased to take part.''

Women eligible for 2008 SF Awards

2008-01-06T04:40:37Z

Whump: /* Fan Writer */

This is a list of women eligible for SF awards to be given out in 2008 based on works published from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2007. Awards that follow this eligibility format include the Hugo, the Campbell, the World Fantasy Award, the Tiptree, and the Phillip K. Dick. (The Nebulas have a rolling period of eligibility for nomination based on the specific date a work was published.) We're listing these women as a form of [[award activism]]: to bring them greater attention, to share information about them for ourselves, and to help avoid problems like the [[2006 Hugo vacuum]]. See [[Eligibility and voting by award]] for a quick index of information about individual awards, and links to the individual award pages for more detail.

Please include here ''any eligible woman'', along with the information about her eligible work: title, publication date, and format. For novels, it's useful to search Amazon for the author's name: the list of works has publication date and format right there.

Note: Some awards are based on ''first publication'' and other awards are based on first publication in the US, England, etc. If a work was first published outside of the time period but would be eligible for some awards, please add it and add in parentheses any restrictions or explanations about eligibility.

==Women eligible for work-specific awards==

===A Note on Categories===
Each set of awards defines its categories in its own way. There is a lot of overlap, but inevitably differences arise. For example, some awards allow SF and fantasy, others only one, and others have separate categories. Different awards define the types of short fiction with different word lengths. And different awards have different eligibility rules as regards to where a work is published, when it is published, and the nationality of the author(s). Please refer to the award descriptions below for more details.

Outsourcing and the Auxiliary Brain (WisCon 31 panel)

2007-05-30T17:47:06Z

Whump: Updating panelists.

[[Outsourcing and the Auxiliary Brain (WisCon 31 panel)|89 Outsourcing and the Auxiliary Brain]]

Science and Technology•Conference Room 5• Saturday, 2:30-3:45 p.m.

Your meat brain has only so much capacity, and it wasn't designed for a technological society. But suppose you could pop in a small, high–tech auxiliary brain to augment your natural abilities. Where would that lead? To what degree is it a good idea to outsource your brain?

M: Kimberley Long-Ewing, R. Emrys Gordon, Bill Humphries, Jordin T. Kare, Melissa Scott

[[Category:WisCon 31 panels]]

Jim Frenkel replaced Jordin T. Kare, who was late to the convention due to travel difficulties. --[[User:Whump|Whump]] 10:47, 30 May 2007 (PDT)
