i saw some posts about people complaining about the “spam like = blocked” - so i am just gonna say that we don’t hate you for LIKING our content, that’s utterly ridiculous. it’s just some of y’all don’t know that likes don’t do shit on tumblr. so if you have the time to like all of a writer’s posts, consider leaving a reblog or even a comment - you don’t know how much it means to us writers, it’s WAY more motivating than likes.
also i saw this one post about calling creators note and recognition hungry for wanting more reblogs and let me just tell you this - if you worked your ass off on something and posted it after hours, days or even weeks of working on it, wouldn’t you want to get recognition for it?? people WANT notes/likes/kudos or whatever - that’s literally the whole fucking reason why we post shit online, for other people to see it!! you would want to receive feedback and praise for all of your hard work, would you not?
i know not every creator dislikes spam liking - and some even love it. good for them! but you DON’T need to bash other creators who don’t tolerate it!!
so the next time you see a post/fic/artwork or anything that you like - consider leaving a reblog or a comment - or even an ask! sometimes it even makes our day :)

I know that most people find it annoying
But I love when people spam like my stuff
I love watching my notification bubble pop up one number every few seconds and then dragging my ass onto tumblr to see THIS in my activity tab
It's like "today I have fed my followers good food, and I know that because this person won't leave me alone."
It's lovely. Lovely feeling. Warm fuzzies.

I hate the do not spam my likes trend but I hate it more when people assume that since you have no related content with the gifs or whatever or it's mostly blank you are a bot/stealer. I use likes as an archive I'll reblog your shit later. I'm sPaMmINg bc i like your stuff? ?? Sorry???? I'm a lurker maybe? It's not illegal. My main blog is not the blog where I'll reblog your naruto gifs bitch give me a break?

Friendly reminder that if you talk about how representation is important and how there's not enough diverse media, I implore you to seek out the media that already exists. And if you live in an area with a public library, go to see if they're available at your public library. And then go check them out.
As a librarian, it is demoralizing to see how low the circulation statistics are on lgbt+ books and books by BIPOC authors. I include them in displays and readers advisory, but people still don't check them out as much. Libraries only have a finite amount of resources, including space. We don't get a book then keep it forever. If not enough people check it out, we have to get rid of it to make room for more books. And when James Patterson Book #69 gets checked out 30 times in one year and cool, subversive Sci fi novel with a Black trans woman main character has never been checked out once, the librarian (me) has to make a hard decision.
If you're looking for something tangible and easy to do this pride month, look for lgbt+ books (there are millions of lists online that you can find. It's easier than it's ever been to find diverse books) and check them out from your library.
No time to read? Look for a short story or poetry anthology and just read as much as you have time for. Or just check out a book cus it looks interesting and read as much as you can. We have movies too.
As cool as it would be for me to just keep the books I want and get rid of the ones I don't, I have to listen to the community on matters of collection development. And the community tells me what books they want by checking them out and leaving the ones they don't want on the shelf.
If you think this doesn't apply to you because you live in a progressive area and obviously the books are being checked out, you're wrong. I once worked in a community with a large lgbt population. Those books were not getting checked out. If you want to tell me you live in a conservative area and your library doesn't have any diverse books, you are legally obligated to check the catalog before replying to this post. I currently work in a conservative community and we have lgbt+ and bipoc books. And if you still cannot find any, you are legally obligated to see if your library has a collection request form that patrons can fill out before replying to this post.

Urgent: Help Us Not Get Screwed
Anyone who follows us has seen us screaming from the hill-tops about our current crowdfunding campaign for Aether Beyond the Binary (17 aetherpunk stories! Outside the gender binary main characters!). We've only got 50 hours left...and we just got screwed.
Our Anthology Kickstarter is being scammed.
About two hours ago, with us still roughly $1,500 from our goal, we got a junk pledge for almost $2,000. This pushed us into being marked as "funded" but there is zero chance it's a real pledge, it's from a shell account marked as being in Turkey. This kind of money doesn't just fall like a miracle into the laps of small business like ours.
The timing on this attack is devastating. The final 48 hours of a campaign are absolutely critical, especially for one as close to meeting our goal as we are. We were very likely to hit our target, but doing so was going to require appeals to y'all that started with "hey, we're so close, please help spread the word." Further, the campaign has hundreds of followers who will get a notification at the 48 hour mark, and many who might have backed to help get us to the finish line will now think "oh, they're there, they don't need me," and not back. Meanwhile, one of two things will happen with the spam pledge: either it will get removed by Kickstarter, which could take hours or a day+, totally nuking us during this crucial window, or it won't get removed until the payment bounces post-campaign, at which point we won't actually have enough money to do fulfillment.
Either way, we are fucked.
Please, please don't let these dipshits ruin the love and passion that 30+ people have poured into this project for over a year.
Our campaign IS NOT FUNDED, and it won't be without help. I'm begging, help spread the word about how we're getting screwed, and help spread the word about Aether Beyond the Binary (visit the link for so much info!) so that we can get enough real pledges to fund this project we've poured our hearts and souls into.
SUPPORT THE QUEER ANTHOLOGY KICKSTARTER FOR AETHER BEYOND THE BINARY (with your pledges or with signal boosts!)
