One thing the pandemic has taught me is that virtual cons are not, after all, easier than in-person ones. I definitely save energy not traveling, not snaking through crowds and scents, etc. The downside is that seeing/listening to a con via the net doesn't feel like participating.
I'm halfway through Sjunneson's memoir -- she does good work in the trenches of liminality. She advocates for the power of the disability label. That's particularly useful for her because she grew up without any "special needs" support: passing as nondisabled was important to her mom and thus to her until she hit college.
And who knew! Her name is pronounced like “Who-ness-ohn”
