bits and bobs
*clasps hands* I have finally gotten to the end of my reading page. I wish it went on past the last two weeks, since I know I've missed a lot even before then, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise lol. At least now I can say I'm relatively caught up.
Calling all BIPOC —![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
goss
But over the years, many BIPOC have left these platforms or Fandom altogether. And I really miss having those kinds of interactions, and hearing these particular voices.
I'm curious about how many of us are out here still, whether actively posting on DW or simply lurking. Maybe you are wondering too! So I am putting up this poll, in the hopes of reaching out to and connecting with as many BIPOC fans here on DW as possible.
Signal Boost: Discussions of racism in fandom, and what to do about it in regards to OTW/AO3 —muccamukk
I haven't read this yet, but I'm throwing it here so I remember to.
And lots of events and such happening, too:

getyourwordsout, reminder that the deadline to change pledges is 23rd June. After pledging unrealistically high the past few years, I decided to go with 150k for this year, and the way things are turning out, I'm considering moving a step down from that too to 75k. xD I'm not wholly decided yet but I'm thinking about it.

muccamukk I haven't read this yet, but I'm throwing it here so I remember to.
And lots of events and such happening, too:
- sunshine_challenge is starting on 1st July! It's no secret that I love this challenge and it's chilly sibling, and I'm excited to participate and maybe make some friends next month! (Maybe I'll even participate during the actual event for once. Who knows.) If you want to hit the ground running, the comm has a post on journal housekeeping with a neat little checklist up right now.
- indie_games has opened! I am beyond excited to see some video game chat happening on here! I have my old personal gaming comm but it's been due an overhaul for ages. I might scrap it all together and throw all my gaming stuff on here or, now that indie-games exists, there! If you got the Itch bundle this comm might be of particular interest to you, as the games from there are the focus right now.
- hc_bingo sign-ups for Round 11 are open! I haven't participated before, but the deadline is generous (up to January, with amnesty extending into June) and I did tweet the other day about taking a break from my longer projects and taking a stab at a prompt list to fight writing nerves. *rubs chin*
- fandomgiftbox sign-ups close on 21st June. Looks very fun ♥
- A Femslash Creating Fest is running on elasticella's journal until 22nd September, with the possibility of continuing after. I wasn't initially thinking I'd participate, but then I saw this keyleth/raishan prompt, and my mind completely ran away with me... I'll try, at least!
- recthething: This is a comm for reccing fanworks you love and requesting recs for fanworks you're looking for. This looks to be a more general reccing comm as compared to the specific/themed ones I've seen so far. Definitely of interest to me.
- fffc is running a 100 Prompt Challenge with lots of different tables. The 'weird ao3 tags' table in particular caught me eye lmao.
