**Hey could you do me a favor? **

DomCon, one of the biggest kink/BDSM events in the world, is doing something new this year, and taking nominations for people doing educational work in the space. It would really mean a lot to me if you would throw my name in the hat for Educator of the Year. Over the past couple of years, a big part of my work has becoming going to conventions and live events to educate and advocate about neurodivergence and intimacy/kink, but so far, that line of work remains largely unnoticed and hard to promote because of online censorship. Being recognized would go a really long way to helping me book more opportunities and get the word out about this part of my work that I really, truly love to do.

All you gotta do is scroll down to the Educator of the Year option and put my name: Cate Osborn (Catieosaurus) and my email: cate@catieosaurus.com. ​

​There will be a voting period later on when I'll need your help again, but I gotta be a finalist before voting starts to qualify.

Thanks, yall!
