Rendezvous Point

Here is an entire youtube playlist by Mannof1000Thoughts with a ton of indie animation videos AND a livestream he did where he watched some with the creators!!!

For games, there are TONS of lists out there like these:

1. Do not do age verification.

Oh no I dropped my link, what a horrible thing! Sure hope this doesn't get reblogged until it reaches users from the UK and Brazil!

At least hit the shiny repost button if you're going to do nothing else. This should not stand.

If you love weird art and hate fascists, itch.io has a "No ICE in Minnesota" bundle with proceeds benefiting the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. (My friend works there!)

Inner Mongolian Child

The little girl’s name is Butedmaa and she was just 5 when this picture was taken in 2003 by Han Chengli.

Kind of a weird time for this maybe but I made a comic essay about the video game Blue Prince and my experience playing it. Very, very good game.

FAQ:

what is this project?

the Aspec Quilt Project is a virtual community quilt for people on the aromantic and/or asexual spectrums. if that's you, you're invited to create and submit a "quilt square" to be posted here on the blog and eventually added to the virtual quilt at the end of the project.

who can join? do I have to be ace? do I have to be aro?

anyone who resonates with aromantic and/or asexual spectrum identities in any capacity is welcome to join! you don't have to hold any specific label/identity - if this project speaks to you, it is for you.

are submissions anonymous?

they can be! in the submission form, you'll be able to choose whether you'd like to be credited for your square or not. if you'd like to submit yours totally anonymously, you are welcome to do so. *note: the file upload is linked to your google account, so I may be able to view the name/email connected to your google account. if you are uncomfortable with this, feel free to send a quilt square through dm or an anonymous ask.

what is a community quilt?

a community quilt is traditionally a co-created sewn blanket made up of many fabric squares. quilting has a rich history of supporting community building and advocacy, especially within the queer community.

what goes on a quilt square?

a quilt square can include anything you want! words, images, digital media, photos--anything that reflects your experience as someone on the aro/ace spectrum. all I ask is that it is in a jpeg/png format and square-shaped 🙏

are there size/resolution recommendations? how will squares be displayed?

there are no particular size/resolution recommendations. most of the squares that have been submitted so far are around 1000-2000 square pixels. in the final quilt, squares will be oriented upright (rather than tilted/diagonal.)

how do I submit a quilt square?

you can submit a quilt square here!

what will happen with the quilt at the end of the project?
