You've got my vote ^-^

Thank you! :3

Nuka 2020!

XD I mean, for the award, sure! I don't think ANYONE wants to live in a country where I'm running the show XD

Nuka-I'm pretty sure if you ran the US you'd do a damn better job than the current idiot-in-chief.

Which one do I click on buddy?

That'd be Courtney Plante "Nuka" :)

Voted for you buddy.

Done.

You've been quiet for a while, since that livestream. How's the lockdown treating you, cat?

Working, mostly! My way of trying to cope with the isolation and such has been to just keep my head down and work. Writing another book right now (this one about my anime research!) And preparing for teaching in the fall at my new job in Quebec!

Congrats!
At last, you got out of the back wood sticksville place you were working at in the US!

Still waiting for you to attend FWA (that'd be the only reason I'll go to a con ever again).

You were my pick last year, but I ended up as one of the nominees this year, so I will probably drop a vote for myself this time around.

I was actually hoping to meet up with you and/or some members of your research team at AnthroCon (where I was on panel programming), but obviously, that will have to wait for another occasion. I'm curious: have they committed to online-only instruction for the fall at your new institution? Those discussions are still in progress at mine.

Congratulations on the nomination! :D And good luck to you! =^_^= Indeed, you should vote for yourself - nothing wrong with that!

Alas, all of our research / convention plans were cancelled this year, including AC. Though there's always next year, and I'd be happy to meet up with you! :3

At the moment, they've not committed to anything yet. Our current marching orders are to prepare for a "hybrid" fall semester with a combination of online and in-class (whatever the heck that means - no one can seem to give us a clear answer as to what the expectations will be). For now, I'm preparing for online-only, since that's the tougher of the two to prepare. Worst case scenario, I can adapt to in-class on the fly as needed.

That sounds similar to what's going on here, but we've been told a decision will be made in mid-June. I expect one of my classes, which is a large-lecture course of about 80 students, will simply have to be online because it will be impossible to maintain social distancing in classroom with that many students.

Anyway, hopefully the voting will tilt in favor of at least one of us. I mean, who doesn't want $500 and that sweet trophy?

Honesty - if I won the $500, my plan was to donate it to ALS research in Dogbomb's name :3

Done and done, Doc!
Good luck!
