I discovered your blo...Hello again, and thank you.<br /><br />I discovered your blog at about the same time that I discovered Steampunk, and was gratified to find that there was some serious thinking and writing going on regarding the reification of the Victorian colonial mindset within the Steampunk genre/aesthetic. I even remember the post on Steampunk as a conversation with ghosts, as the idea sparked some thoughts of my own...<br /><br />Unfortunately, I didn't write them down very clearly at the time, and wound up putting my foot in my mouth in a comment/reply. It was at that point that I realized just how much shutting up, unlearning, and listening I still needed to do. Thank you again for the opportunity to do so over the last few years. I wanted express this in person at SteamCon IV, but had a bad attack of shyness (I did enjoy the one presentation of yours that I was able to attend - still peeved that you were scheduled opposite several "special ticket" events that I bought tickets for before realizing that programming was also going on at those times...).<br /><br />Anyway - still out here listening. <br />Cheers,<br /><br />MacAuslanderMacAuslanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370442118185311081noreply@blogger.com
