Some signal that need boosting · 5:37am Jan 2nd, 2018
I've only done one other blog post (due to my rather uninteresting life and that I don't write nowadays), but here's something that deserves attention. And even if I only reach the couple few that somehow follow me, at least I will have reached someone and done my part.

Let me clarify this. I've been at Bronycon three times now (2013, 2014 and 2017). All of them great experiences and I do not regret going there. But I'm utterly disgusted that something like this happened. I do not go to late-night parties and I don't drink alcohol (can't stand the taste), so you might think that I shouldn't care since it wouldn't happen to me. Well, wrong. This shouldn't happen to ANYONE. Especially in the vicinity of a convention that's frequently attended by teenagers and young children (and at least, they have their parents).
2017 was already an hot-button year (especially on that subject) that I felt like breaking silence to spread the word, even if I was a day too late). I'm especially surprised that I haven't heard of it when I was here (then again, I wasn't really looking for it. I don't usually go to convention looking for drama).
With all that said, I do hope that 2017 has treated you better than most. Happy New Year, and here's to a good 2018 year.
As a friend of mine would say, stay strong and pony on.
