I typically lecture at conventions, especially Othercon, the Centaurus Festival, and HowlCon.

I use OBS to record my screen, and I use a Blue Yeti Nano microphone in order to capture my audio.

Almost all my lectures can be found on my YouTube channel!

Anti-Otherkin: A Symptom of a Greater Problem

We’ve all heard it before-- outsider commentary on the otherkin community that comes from a completely baseless understanding of what the word otherkin means and how the otherkin community functions. Accusations of culthood, attempts to psychopathologize, equations to large-scale fandoms: all these and more have been thrown at the otherkin community long enough that they’re now considered staples of self-proclaimed “anti-otherkin” rhetoric. But have you ever stopped and considered why such language seems universal to anti-otherkin, and why so few will ever stop and change their assumptions upon being corrected? While some may chalk it up to human stubbornness, a look into Western understandings of religion might hold the key to understanding just where these assumptions come from, and why they don’t seem to be going away any time soon.

Litter Box Hoax 2: Legislature Boogaloo

Hosted by Orion Scribner, House of Chimeras, & Who-is-Page

Starting in 2023, US conservatives proposed several anti-transgender laws which also target people for behaving or identifying as animals. This came from an urban legend that satirized transgender restroom access by falsely claiming that schools also offer litter boxes to accommodate furry students. Join community historians House of Chimeras, Orion Scribner, and Page Shepard as we take a deeper look into each of these bills.

Woohoo, Let's Talk About "Identify-With" Stuff!

Hosted by Poppy and Who-is-Page, feat. Vaalski

An impromptu panel by Poppy and Page discussing identify-with labels, experiences, and identities. Features guest speaker Vaalski, coiner of the term "otherhearted."

Unfortunately, my version of this panel's recording is glitched; I'm muted for the first several minutes. Othercon hasn't yet posted a YouTube link to their recording, so my janky version is all I have to share.
