• @Satsuma and @Lady have beeen watching ‘Guardian’ (cdrama) at a very slow pace of one episode a week (in a discord group with some other folks).
• @Lady also published a pornographic pokémon oneshot, but I’m not sharing the link to that here so you’ll have to be enterprising if you really want to read it.
• @Lady also also has been working more on her indie website publishing workflows but there haven’t been any real releases of anything yet.
Send us your wuxia and xianxia work. We are especially looking forward to reading work by BIPOC and racialised folk. http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/azimuth/wuxia-xianxia-special-submissions-call/
in retrospect i dislike my knife poll design but i’m not sure the question is interesting enough to enough to justify redoing
I don't always encounter alt text for images on Mastodon. But when I do, I notice the alt text descriptions are higher quality than they were on Twitter. In general, I feel like describers are sharing the intent of images more and sharing their visual interpretations more often. When describers do this, the pictures come alive in my mind. In short, alt text feels less robotic on Mastodon and more like my sighted friends narrating their lives and observations to me. It's really awesome and special to watch. Keep up the great work, describers!
This painter (Jean-Baptiste de Champaigne, 1631-1681) has REALLY looked at cats. (Detail of this: https://www.mskgent.be/collectie/1955-m)

§ From Our Users :—
• @wallhackio built a PC (technically last weekend, but I was lazy and so we’re celebrating it now)!
• @Satsuma visited a lot of museums, which I know because I am subscribed to their Photo Journal™ of it all.
• We’ve all been playing lots of pokémon, although only some of us are doing it for furry reasons. This is now a Meowscarada fan‐instance. Send fanart to @aescling.
Over on Twitter, fiercynonym put together an excellent thread of questions for the #OTW regarding its anti-racist work (or lack thereof): https://twitter.com/fiercynonym/status/1615183026492968960
Because Twitter, I got fiercynonym's permission to collect the questions and share them in a Dreamwidth post: https://runpunkrun.dreamwidth.org/974053.html
Let the OTW Board know their extended silence on this matter is unacceptable. Write and ask them what they're doing to protect BIPOC fans from racist harassment on OTW platforms: https://www.transformativeworks.org/contact_us/
@MxMorden thanks for putting this together!
some more comms along similar lines to your categories that i would also recommend:
beautifulmechanical: music and vids recs, any genres but there’s def a few kpop fans who post there)
bigbangindex, dw_community_promo, and fandomcalender: all good places to hear about upcoming fandom events for various fandoms—esp helpful for new users!
marchmetamatters: upcoming event for organizing and archiving meta! which is always good but esp for people who are in the process of leaving a social media site and might want some support finding and saving the stuff they’ve written there that they want to keep
sunshinechallenge: a smaller event similar to snowflake challenge, but in july instead of january!
Just in case anybody is interested in checking out #dreamwidth, I wrote a little masterpost of useful resources: https://mx-morden.dreamwidth.org/3142.html mostly about #fandom #fanfic / #fanfiction #kpop
