From Joyce Hindman:
Bast Ravenshadow, who ran AngelWings Press and Requiem Publications, and did over 400 ‘zines as publisher, author, artist, has passed due to Covid related kidney failure. There will be no service. She attended MediaWest*Con for over two decades, and was active in Due South, Sentinel, MFU, S&H, Company Business and SWAT fandoms, as well as writing numerous original stories with her writing partner Sekhmet.
A little late for International Women’s Day, but here’s this:

We finally made it to see the MCU exhibit at the Henry Ford!
Masks were required at all times. Note the markers for social distancing in line.
The monitor screen indicated the current time for admittance, as noted on your ticket.
Exhibits were mostly chronological, beginning with the early days of comics including original art and sample comics.
And, of course, the movies.
Also Hela was missing her signature headdress.
From Karen Rae Travers – BEARLY SPACED ENTERPRISES:
It is with Heavy Heart that I wanted to say that I have lost a VERY DEAR Friend — Sophia R. Mulvey, co-founder of BEARLY SPACED Enterprises and long time MW*C attendee as well as co-editor of The SEVEN LIVE ON and writer of the Delta Base series and several others. Sof passed on 29 Dec 2020, her son Tommy & his wife Kayla at her side. Her husband Tom predeceased her 2 years ago yesterday.
