#Event Platforms

[caspercryptid]

Hello everyone I am so unbelievably pissed about the NaNoWriMo situation that i'm going to take my massive stack of writing and craft books and my English degree and channel all my rage into making an email newsletter to send craft-oriented writing prompts and tips during the month of November. Say No to NaNoWriMo, but yes to WriMo. You get it.

I'm not going to make this have the same goals as Nanowrimo-- I'm not reskinning it but less ableist, I just really think having a whole month where people focused on their work is pretty cool and I want to keep up that spirit. This is going to be informal and run by Just Me, though I'll make a discord server if it's clear there's interest. Direct questions to @nowrimomo , which I literally just made and so will look like a skeleton currently.

I'm going to include prompts from various professional sources with options for Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Fanfic, so everybody can get in on this. It doesn't matter what you write, but we should all Write More.

You won't be able to solve every problem. Sometimes, things are out of your ability to make change. That does not mean you cannot focus on what you can do. It may not be in a massive scale, but change happens one person at a time, being able to do one thing at a time no matter how small. Please, do what's within your realm of capability to make the world better

Regarding the kataang week twitter "promotion" situation:

From where I stand, the issue is that 1) there was no communication with the kataang week mods (it seems if there had just been communication beforehand, nobody would have cared!), 2) that the account is not "promoting" the event, as the thread says verbatim that they are "hosting and overseeing" the event on twitter (oversight implies moderation - which would be a takeover of the event from the moderators who run the event on tumblr), and that 3) there has been no apology or acknowledgement that this was done without asking, and people involved are going out of their way to attack the moderators, who are just sad and frustrated that they weren't asked.

I've seen people claiming that the majority of the votes came from people who saw the posts on twitter - which isn't something that can be tracked without having access to the google poll itself. After existing for 11 years on tumblr, I assume the kataang week blog probably has a mass of followers - but we can't be sure because tumblr follower counts aren't public.

Nobody would be upset if they wanted to make their own ship week. In fact, that's happened in the past! And in terms of sharing content, people often drop links in the asks to the kataang week blog - whether it's on another platform, or the mods missed it, or for any other reason. There's an ao3 collection as well that people can post to! The mods don't track content that's not on tumblr (because not all the mods have a twitter or are availible 24/7), but they're happy to promote it if it's sent to them.

Israel is now bombing Rafah and executing ground operations there. Let that sink in. The Gazan people have already been displaced under threat of violence, and consequently they moved to the South where it was alleged to be "more safe". And now not even the literal Southern border of Gaza is safe anymore.

Alright. I want you all made perfectly aware that I have completely cut support for Wilbur soot and any associated projects. I find his "apology" to be disingenuous and trashy damage control, and it undermines whatever desire he has to improve, however genuine that is.

I 100% support Shelby and any victim of such disgusting behaviour, i commend them for their courage, and I wish them nothing but prosperity, support, and happiness. I will always value their peace over whatever art he made. I'll find other fucking art.

@staff

I retain ownership and rights over my content.

"We never want to do anything with your work that surprises you" Selling it to Midjouney without warning surprises me.

But not AI, which you profit from and we don't, which is different than allowing Search Engine APIs to see and display the art.

And you are getting paid to use my art and content, which should mean I get proper reimbursement for my creations, which are as you say "entirely mine".

boy did that post go way outside of my usually small audience. i’m by no means an authority & i encourage everyone to read the articles i linked as well as check out the rest of that website if you are genuinely looking to learn & understand more. there are plenty of Palestinians who are more knowledgeable and more articulate than me talking about this online and you should be listening to them. otherwise im not arguing on tumblr dot edu i’ve made my stance clear. im just blocking you.

admittedly this is "old man yells at clouds" energy, but I think it sucks that modern fandom often only conceives of community in the form of discord servers

if you're in the denver, CO area, come visit @littlerobberboy and i at the Underground Pride Fest 🌈🌟 we vended there last year and it was an absolute blast! this year there are loads of amazing musicians and performers (stream Celestial Wizard) as well as tons of super talented artists and artisans vending the event. you'll be able to pick up any of the earrings currently in my etsy store, and get first pick of way, way more designs that haven't been added to the online shop yet (as well as a few new stickers 👀)

we're also planning on donating 10% of our proceeds to Palestinian relief efforts (probably directly to gofundmes most in need at the moment) and personally i'll be donating all of the profits from sales of any lesbian pride stickers directly to Emily Gwen

come check us out!! 👋💫
