@ljwrites i appreciate your contribution to my existential crisis 😂
@umadoshi i hope you enjoyed it!
i have also been terribly slow in my TV watching lately (I’ve been keeping up with the guardian rewatch but not much else)
Also have pinned that tag ^ to my profile so all this stuff remains findable bc, lets be honest, there's a very good chance I'm going to need to dig back up the same set of links six months from now
Back in June 2020 wistfuljane wrote a fantastic bibliography of the fandom discussions surrounding Black Lives Matter & the OTW Elections which was incredibly helpful at the time but! It turns out she's been keeping it updated: https://wistfuljane.dreamwidth.org/2020/06/15/a-decade-later.html
I won't claim its comprehensive because, well, Fandom has spent a *lot* of time talking about race (and failing to talk about race) in the last decade and a half but hopefully at least it provides some perspective for why so many of the people in #EndOTWRacism talk about it like they've been getting ignored by the OTW (and harassed by the OTW's "supporters") for over a decade and have zero patience left

Today for #EndOTWRacism, I changed my pfp on Twitter (my transformation is nearly complete!!!), talked with friends about how badly the OTW's been dragging its feet on everything from being transparent about what it's doing all the way to properly publicizing the public board meetings—the only place (!!) it's set to provide regular updates on its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work—and shared some links in my weekly newsletter on Dreamwidth: https://runpunkrun.dreamwidth.org/987937.html
@asya and yet we keep paying for the privilege 😅
@asya he enjoys our suffering
@pamela when your whole kingdom near exclusively specializes in mining and smithing, you’ve *really* gotta fill out all those market niches i guess 😆
@pamela wait no but i wanna hear more about this Bladorthin baby clothes thing
@platypus i read this and was like “wait i thought the one in DE was a farm turned state park and the one in PA was a tavern” so i looked it up and there’s a Blue Ball PA named after a 200 year old inn, a Blue Bell PA thats a CDP, Blue Ball DE which is indeed an ex-farm, and also a Blue Ball Tavern historical marker in Elkton Maryland
This seems a bit excessive 😂
@soph_sol Merlin’s Sound ID feature is *such* a lifesaver in that regard — so much easier to learn when i can hear something out in the wild and then just pull out my phone and have it tell me exactly what i’m hearing
@stultiloquentia the content is indeed very apropos! hopefully the OTW will join Bitty in his realization you can’t just avoid dealing with racism bc its hard and challenges your worldview in uncomfortable ways
@aescling they both are ceremonies that involve a transition in ones life circumstances but like, thats a p broad category
@pamela hee! don’t forget the school board, and whoever’s in charge of of whatever the latest iteration of no child left behind is at the federal level, and every person who votes to cut funding instead of raising taxes…..
Home made alcohols 🍶
@XanIndigo oh that foam looks like a really nice texture! hows it taste?
@pamela unfortunately i don’t think the people stuck reading the omegaverse papers have any more power when it comes to convincing the the people making the structural decisions than we do
