In Memoriam - Grief, Celebration, and Community
It has been a long year- A long couple of years!

Our community is a big, beautiful thing full of so many beautiful people. And sadly, we all must face loss as we go through life. This panel is meant to bring people together in a common place to share stories, grieve, and celebrate those they have lost. Kay will lead the proceedings briefly and then we will break into groups to memorialize and remember our friends, loved ones, pets, and companions in and out of the fandom

Health & Fitness While Trans: An Exercise & Nutrition Q&A for the questions the fitness industry refuses to answer
The fitness industry is generally not friendly to our community and there is simultaneously too much and not enough information about creating a health program for yourself that takes your unique needs into account. We’re going to sit down together and talk through some of the common questions and ways to get started, plus I’m there to answer any specific questions you might have. If I don’t have the answer, I can lead you in the right direction. I want you to leave this class feeling safe and confident about where to go with your health goals.

Skeptic's Guide to Tulpas
Have you heard about tulpas? Did you stumble across these so-called 'sentient imaginary friends' through a creepypasta or a funny forum post (or this panel in your schedule) and emerge confused or curious? Is it really possible to create another person in your head, or is it just an elaborate hoax? And if it's real, what does it feel like?

I used to wonder the same things - and the only way to know for sure was to try making a tulpa of my own. So I did, and I'm eager to share what I found!

In this panel, I'll peel back the memes and mysticism to reveal the objective, down-to-earth truth behind these fascinating psychological phenomena. Citing research papers and applying anecdotes from my own 7-year journey as a host of two tulpas, I'll cover where the practice of tulpamancy came from and how it might work, how it re-entered the modern zeitgeist as a hobby, what separates it from other forms of plurality such as DID, and how it feels to go through the tulpa creation process and live with a tulpa of your own. At the end of the panel, my tulpas and I will take questions from the still-curious about our own personal experiences.

Skeptics are welcome - this panel is for you!

Note: Following the theme of skepticism and keeping with the majority of research that has been published on the subject, this panel will not delve into anything metaphysical and will only consider tulpamancy as a purely psychological and explainable phenomenon.

Wagahai wa Neko De Aru!: Cats (and other animals) in Early Modern Japanese Literature
In this panel we will take a look at the way that anthropomorphism is used in the works of Natsume Soseki (1867-1916) and Miyazawa Kenji (1896-1933), two very different voices in modern Japanese literature. Specifically we will be exploring Soseki's early novel "I Am A Cat" and how he used his nameless feline protagonist to observe and judge the intelligentsia of the day. We will also take a look at Miyazawa's original fairy tales and celebrate the way that he incorporated animal characters and used them to share his world view of unity and cooperation.

Nutrition for Neurodivergents: A guide for navigating health & fitness
Eating “healthy” is hard for everyone, but being on the neurodivergent spectrum tends to add extra obstacles to eating for your health goals. This class is a way for you to hear from a personal trainer that isn’t just going to say “eat veggies” or “just do the thing”. I know that doesn’t work all the time. We’re going to talk about ways to work with you as you are and find ways to rewrite the nutrition rules to be more inclusive and compassionate. We’ll brainstorm ideas that will be more impactful than what you usually see in the health industry.
