I was there for the first half before having to get ready for my 7pm panel:

Rough notes that you're welcome to grab from.

-------

Valente: the destruction of the spinning wheels

Wagner (?): Art and Craft: when men do it, it's art.

Valente: fairy tales are women's hero journey ending in marriage passing through craft

Valente: Greek word for "civilized" means one who eats bread, implying all the technological infrastructure we need to make a loaf of bread

Gonsalves: The risk of civilization collapsing justifies your yarn stash.

Wagner: People cut off from earth, where do you get your shoes. Pern at least acknowledges where stuff comes from.

(?) As you know, Jane. (forgot the context of this, but it got a laugh from the audience)

Wagner: Melissa, meaning 'honeybee', Greek idea of constantly busy, sexless, self-denying woman.

Valente: Small, personal economies, interconnected by internet

(?) Intersection of gift economies and social norms
