So I thought I'd make a Tumblr search friendly version of this post. This is a podcast I put out yesterday about how I spent the last seven years being sued by Ryan Kopf, the owner of Chrono Pop LLC/AnimeCon.org (which operates Animinneapolis, Anime Midwest, Meta Con, Kanpai Con, Con+Alt+Delete and more).
Ryan Kopf has been suing me in one form or another for over seven years. With the conclusion of the Illinois suit against myself and former Nerd & Tie contributor Pher Sturz earlier this month, we thought we should sit down and talk about what’s happened over those years. We discuss the full timeline of events, what I was actually accused of saying, and how things affected us.

Hey it's the end of the year! I'll be at one more con this year (CON ALT DELETE) and then I also finally put up lots of stickers and charms on my etsy shop WITH a sale! Look!
This year's been rough and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way — I hope everyone is hanging in there and making the best of it!
We’re all set up at Con Alt Delete! I have a lot of watercolor Breath of the Wild landscapes that would look nice on your wall, and I am taking commissions!
Find us right at the front of the Artist’s Alley, just walk in and we’re by the tables. 😁
Con Alt Delete 2022 was an absolute blast! Huge shoutout to the friends who let me hang out with them, and all the new friends i made! Here's pics of my cosplay from saturday + sunday!
