Writing the Personal panel for @Octocon. On drawing on other perspectives, Mary Watson quotes Kit de Waal: ‘Don’t dip your pen in someone’s blood.’ Don’t use other people’s trauma to make your stories. #Octocon2022

Logged-in #Octocon2022 members will also be able to watch our online programme through this portal.
That feature will be rolled out soon, so ... watch this space!

With 3 days to go to #Octocon2022, we'd like to remind our in-person members to do a #COVID19 antigen test 24hrs before.
If you test positive, we have an extensive online programming prepared.
If you test negative, remember to bring a mask.

#Octocon2022 is a hybrid event - in person and online.
We are glad to be able to get together again in person, and wish to do so as safely as possible and with lower risks - so more of us can attend.

A sneak-peek behind the scenes of the convention: the itty bitty Octo-team committee have just had our LAST big meeting before #Octocon2022 on 15-16 of October.
We talked cosplay, social, volunteering and more. So much to do and to announce. Stay tuned!
