Snowflake Challenge-Day Seven
Jan. 7th, 2019 09:53 pmToday’s challenge is to stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing. Try working in a new medium. Or check out some fanworks that are new to you.
So I decided to check out the Three Patch Podcast which I’ve seen out and about in my tumblr wanderings. And who could pass by anything with the really great title of League of Furies? Especially with the podcast description: In which we explore the intersection between activism and fandom, interview the author behind the recently published Sherlock’s World, and watch the first episode of the newest Doctor Who! We also pay tribute to Chuck and their legacy in fandom. Just the description alone had me hooked. Anyway, if you are so inclined, go ahead and give it a listen. Show notes and podcast are here.

Snowflake Challenge-Day Six
Jan. 6th, 2019 12:43 pmToday's challenge is: In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. So I'm just gonna be selfish here and go for it.
An icon. I have no artistic skillz and this is beyond my abilities. So an icon of either Aeryn (Farscape), Sherlock or Sherlock and John (BBC Sherlock), or Cam and Vala (SG-1). Or I'd really like recs for Johnlock, either dark and angsty or fluffy and cute, as long as Mary is either gone or evil and vanquished.
That's it. Apparently I am a simple creature as far as my fannish needs to. :)

Snowflake Challenge-Day Five
Jan. 5th, 2019 01:39 pmSo today's challenge is this: In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. As a public school educator, a secondary social studies teacher, I've had no choice but to become more political as my career progressed and as certain policies became enacted even in view of the fact that historically speaking and in terms of benefits to students these policies were anathema in the classroom. So my choices today are made in that vein since my fandom choices are eclectic and all over the place. So, in now particular order here are my choices.
historychappy
Because he is the first and maybe the best history ideas and resources guy I know and he makes me a better history teacher.
Scott Dworkin
He wrote Proof of Collusion and if you want to keep a running tag on the unfolding drama in Washington and how it affects us, there is no better twitter feed to follow.
Sarah Kendzior
An authority on the rise of authoritarianism and autocrats, Sarah is bright and articulate about what is going on in the body politic and what that means for us. She also hosts a podcast called Gaslit Nation.
George Takei
Just because he is a national treasure.

Snowflake Challenge-Day Four
Jan. 4th, 2019 06:48 pmSo the challenge today was to comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them. Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!"
So I did it. :)
So I did it. :)
