🎉Signups are now OPEN🎉 Our signature incest roast is ready to brew. Signup to join in our 72 hours flash exchange and get a taste! ☕️ Signup here http://ao3.org/collections/FolgersFlashDec23/signups/new ⏰ Countdown to signups CLOSING https://tinyurl.com/3de9h9wj

✮Sign-Ups close midnight December 13 2023 Eastern Standard Time✮

Guidelines from the caard:

"This is an 18+ profic event! We believe that fictional incest between fictional characters is harmless and encourage those uncomfortable with the subject to protect themselves, block and move on.

✮Holiday themed prompts aren't required but are encouraged!

✮All content is welcome, so long as it is correctly and clearly tagged. Due to the sensitive nature of the theme of the exchange, celebrity and RPF will not be permitted.

✮As this is a fandom event, works must be from an existing fandom. This means we will allow slash reader or original characters to be included, but not original works.

✮Creations may be SFW or NSFW, explicit content isn't required, the only requirement is that your request and the works you create feature an incest ship as the main pairing.

✮As this is a flash event with a short creation period, the minimum requirement for fanfic works is 300 words, with a suggested maximum of 1200 words. The minimum requirement for fanart works is a lined sketch, with a suggested maximum of flat colors or shading. Works are allowed to exceed the suggested maximum requirements at the creator's discretion.

AI generated work is strictly prohibited.

✮SIGNING UP✮✮

Your request MUST include a DNW list so that we can facilitate matching. ✮Given the time frame we suggest keeping your prompts short and simple. Do you prefer Canon or AU? Do you enjoy angst, fluff, or somewhere in between? Do you prefer your ships with a certain dynamic? What are your favorite tropes (only one bed, fake dating, wrong number, tinder hookup, etc.)? ✮Requests must be romantic pairings. (This means they must have the "/" tag, NOT the "&" tag.) ✮We recommend requesting and offer a pairing (or pairings) for 3 separate fandoms to ensure a match, as unmatchable sign up will be deleted. ✮Due to the short length of the creation period, there will be no pinch hitters for this event, however treats are always welcome and all request will be visible after assignments go out.

✮Use the hashtag #folgersflash72 on Twitter when works are revealed to share and enjoy the exchange works.✮"

(Note: I am not running this fest just telling tumblr about it since it's a twitter fest!)

#ShutDownAcademia #ShutDownSTEM

On June 10, 2020, we will #ShutDownAcademia, #ShutDownSTEM, and #Strike4BlackLives.

In the wake of the most recent murders of Black people in the US, it is clear that white and other non-Black people have to step up and do the work to eradicate anti-Black racism. As members of the global academic and STEM communities, we have an enormous ethical obligation to stop doing “business as usual.” No matter where we physically live, we impact and are impacted by this moment in history.

Our responsibility starts with our role in society. In academia, our thoughts and words turn into new ways of knowing. Our research papers turn into media releases, books and legislation that reinforce anti-Black narratives. In STEM, we create technologies that affect every part of our society and are routinely weaponized against Black people.

Black academic and Black STEM professionals are hurting because they exist in and are attacked by institutional and systemic racism. Black people have been tirelessly working for change, alongside their Indigenous and People of Color allies. For Black academics and STEM professionals, #ShutDownAcademia and #ShutDownSTEM is a time to prioritize their needs— whether that is to rest, reflect, or to act— without incurring additional cumulative disadvantage.

Those of us who are not Black, particularly those of us who are white, play a key role in perpetuating systemic racism. Direct actions are needed to stop this injustice. Unless you engage directly with eliminating racism, you are perpetuating it. This moment calls for profound and meaningful change. #ShutDownAcademia and #ShutDownSTEM is the time for white and non-Black People of Color (NBPOC) to not only educate themselves, but to define a detailed plan of action to carry forward. Wednesday June 10, 2020 will mark the day that we transition into a lifelong commitment of actions to eradicate anti-Black racism in academia and STEM. We join with members of Particles for Justice in calling for a #Strike4BlackLives.

To be clear: #ShutDownSTEM is aimed at the broad research community who is not directly participating in ending the global pandemic, COVID-19. If your daily activities are directly helping us end this global crisis, we send our sincerest gratitude. The rest of us, we need to get to work.

Share your detailed plans and actions with the global community using the hashtags #ShutDownSTEM and #ShutDownAcademia. Our collective efforts will lead to eradicating anti-Black racism because Black lives depend on it.

It's Pesach this weekend and we get to go to 2 virtual Seders, one held every year by our found family gay Jewish grandmas and then a community shul one where I get to read like 4 parts! But that also means it's the time of year to remind Christians to be, for the love of whatever, don't host a seder! Don't attend one that isn't hosted by a Jewish person! (But please do attend a real Jewish seder you're invited to!)

And while we're at it, please don't appropriate anything Jewish, beyond just seders. My grandfather (the Christian one who I don't talk to and who will never know that I am queer. Married, and Jewish) proudly owns a shofar and I am so uncomfortable every time I think of it in his home full of Christmas decorations and Christian platitudes and unacceptance of anything different. Please don't be that person.

This has been a PSA.

accomplishment

there are often days and days and days in a row where doing much of anything is really fucking hard. I spend so much time dealing with some flavor of fatigue, that I tend to feel completely useless.

But today I was feeling mostly ok, and I made pie, and it turned out really well and I'm proud of myself.

Since the internet doesn't seem to know (at least according to my dash), you can right-click on [almost] ANY link and have the option to open it in a new tab/window.

(Sometimes the function is blocked for things like copyrighted content so people can't save it to their computer.  There are work arounds for that, too, but I'm not going tell ya that one haha.)

Off to my interview!  Wish me luck :)
