YOUR HELP IS ESSENTIAL—DONATE TO THE GODDARD SPARK and help us cultivate the flame of Goddard’s legacy!

My name is Adam Myers, and I’m the Director of The Goddard Spark, the next prog… Adam Myers needs your support for Help Reignite Goddard’s L

Originally built to offer innovative learning that encouraged critical and creative thinking during the global rise of fascism in the 1940s, despite its many struggles Goddard College remained defined by its opposition to authoritarian and oppressive efforts, its support of marginalized groups and its radical approach to learning until it was closed by its board and president for reasons caused by their own mismanagement.

The Goddard Spark is an effort to reignite the “spark” that made Goddard College so special in the form of a new lifelong learning program primarily hosted on the Goddard College campus in Plainfield, VT inspired directly by and aiming to intelligently evoke the pedagogy, values and culture of Goddard College. It being developed by Goddard alum Adam Myers in partnership with Execusuite, the new owners of the Goddard College campus and the Goddard trademark.

Goddard’s forced closing robbed not only future students from its life changing approach to learning but also broke the hearts of staff, faculty and students who poured the hearts and souls into the school for years, and for some decades. It was a very special, transformative, deeply essential space that quite literally changed the lives of all that attended. It deserves to have its legacy live on.

The Goddard Spark instructors will be collectively offering a large variety of unique and accessible curriculums that will explore everything from music, personal empowerment, community organization, leadership, and beyond in inclusive, diverse and compassionate student-first environments that recognize and respect individualized learning styles and meet individual needs.

Please help us fund this incredible project <3

Also, if you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to those whose lives were changed by Goddard and wish to see its transformative environment live on and touch the lives of those who hadn't yet gotten the privilege before the college was shut down.

PS: if any of you are interested—particularly those who know less about Goddard—here are a few links that you might find useful in developing your curriculums, promotions and understanding the context The Goddard Spark is being built within. Obviously these are a little outdated but I think they’re still useful.

I can’t wait to show you all what we’ve planned—but only you can help make it real!

So I put these pictures up on my main blog and it - to my surprise - got a massive amount of attention.

Well, massive in my opinion.

So I decided to start putting stuff on a different blog, and the first step is put the images on this one.

So here are the nearly-complete wings, before I was able to sew it all together.

It is about 6 1/2 feet - and because I'm American, I need to add a silly way to measure that. So it is about the same wingspan of your average bald eagle.

For my metric friends, that's almost 2 meters or 198 cm.

I worked on it for three months. That might sound pretty fast, but I've been out of work since last May (a year tomorrow) after developing a (hopefully) temporary digestive disorder that eventually required a feeding tube to avoid the whole 'starving to death' thing.

So I've had nothing but time.

Here are some pictures of the final result.

I think I'm going to add some shoulder straps to keep it up a little easier and to better distribute the weight. It's about 3lbs (about 1 kilo and some change). That doesn't sound heavy, but carrying it around all day on top of being medically fragile got really hard, so I think that will help.

Here's a close-up of the gloves I added. I also used a plastic clothes hanger to add a handle so that I can actually have the wings completely spread (I'm tiny, so my arms have no chance otherwise)

I might outline the interior of the shawl but I haven't decided yet.

I'm really glad you guys liked it.

I didn't make the pattern, but if you would like to purchase it from the one who did, here's the link!

I am currently remaking every single neighbour in ts4 over for my story, I have deleted all townies except for Akira and Miko. I have gone into my story grave yard and dug out some of my babies and using my friends sims to fill up houses. This is what I got so far.

This is the last major project I am working on. I am so happy with it and can't wait to finish all the neighbourhoods off. (Ignore nextflix in some of them)

MASSIVE AU Children portrait

@valour4eva‘s (Our haha) Child: Taro @mewangie‘s Child: June @zemkaah95‘s Child: Aradia @emichan252‘s Child: Julia

With the implementation of @emichan252 SVTFOE Child, it’s time to pick our next one. This time around, I’ll be announcing three artists SVTFOE AU Children to be put in next with the first name being the first to be implemented.

@turquoisegirl35 Child: Luna Butterfly @perinart Child: Meissa Butterfly @thestarfan18 Child: Halley Butterfly

Also, I will be making a few corrections to @mewangie‘s June as well to compliment the style of Aradia and Julia. IMPORTANT: Updates/vector corrections may occur frequently with this project. Even though I’m very familiar with how to draw our child, I am stepping into complete unknown territory as far as drawing other kids. So, while one day I may think “hmm, that looks good” for one child, a few days later I may think “hmm, no let me try this...” and make corrections as needed. After all, I want this to be near perfect because eventually, I actually might order a local printing company to make a test poster of this hue hue.

Info about collage project:

As a sort of side project, I plan to create a massive 1920x1080 vector image of all of the AU children out there in the multi-demensional universe, banding together to fight off evil. We came up with this based on the recent incidents of people bullying and harassing others on their AU art and child outcomes. This shouldn’t be happening, as everyone is entitled to their own works and whatever they decide to create is completely up to them, and no one else. You could think of this massive project as all of the AU children of SVTFOE Banding together, working to help one another fight off evil of all shapes and forms. Anyway, as far as rule’s that I’ve set for myself, I will be updating this project once a week with a new AU child of our choosing. We will not discriminate between any children we include into this and we plan to include as many as I can possibly fit haha. Yes, even Star and Jackie AU children will be included in this. NO ONE will be discriminated against. However, one thing we will not be doing is taking message requests from people asking us to put their child into the project. Please keep in mind, I will not show any favoritism on one child over another. With that said, you may see some popular AU children in this as well, but we will also be including AU children that you may/may not have seen before or ones we actually find rather intriguing. Oh, and this will, again, not interfere with our Taroverse publishing(s) schedule

So, I crochet.

And I know this is where I put my fic and stuff. But except for occasional life updates I tend to keep it to that.

But.

I've worked on this for 3 months and I'm proud as absolute hell.

It measures around 6 1/2 ft (214cm) across and I'm quite proud.

I still have to actually assemble it, and that is going to be a whole ordeal, but still.

I'm really proud of this.

Not being able to work and struggling to write with all my recent health issues has really taken a lot out of me. Just kind of sitting around being useless and expensive.

But I MADE this.

With my own two hands.

And it feels good to actually make something.

So yeah.

Just thought I'd share.

Love y'all.

A sneak peek at the first induction of @mewangie‘s June child. Pretty much have 12 pages worth of stances to scroll through for everyone that will be included. I’ll pretty much be doing these sneak peeks every friday as well. It’s the only day i have off haha.
