Life has been crazy. We have Covid-19 zipping around, people being outed for sexual misconduct, and the rest of the zany horror stuff. Let's talk about that. Sexual misconduct. Why? Why is it happening so much in the horror community? Probably because it has always been around, and we're now hearing about it. Do your research, avoid those situations, and please don't send nudies. If you feel nervous at a convention, get someone to walk with you. TELL people if something happens that makes you feel threatened. That is for males and females. Trust your gut. There are always nice people who will walk with you, listen to you, and help you. THINK.
