Astute readers may note the similarity between todays blog post and one I made just around this time last year about how the OTW sucks and you should consider supporting other fannish orgs: https://satsuma.dreamwidth.org/32229.html

(the similarities are because literally nothing has changed Re:the OTW in the last year, except now they've also come out as racist about the ongoing Palestinian genocide)
Anyway please really do read the second half and click all the org links--there's a lot of great fannish orgs out there who get swallowed up by the monopoly the OTW has on fannish money and volunteer times, a fact which deserves to be rectified on its own merits even before you consider how egregiously the OTW has abused its volunteers and the trust of its members
