The week of August 14th to August 21st [2020]:

Polyamory Com - Reblogged post about Polyamorous Awareness Week.

Anarchism Com - Reposted announcements and podcasts talking to Marquis Bey about "Anarcho-Blackness" from Freedom News and Autonomy News (republished It's Going Down).


Comments:

Coy - Advice for someone considering joining Pillowfort [comment].

While looking up something else in a Polyamory in the Media weekly roundup, I came across a mention of That Ship, which prompted a note to self comment on a draft bin post.

Coy - Talking about the Redemption Equals Death trope [comment]. I got on a roll, and it turned into a long comment.


Potentially of interest:

I finally saw that AO3 allows for turning off comments.

Siggy shared some thoughts on Effective Altruism and whatever was going on with that 'Loving someone without Sexual Desire' article [here].

~belowdesire shared a little historical humor - FABGLITTER.

~Genuflectx is running a fannish drift survey (to see if there are changes in recognizing and using certain terms). I've seen other fans speculate that the 1981 - 2020 'generation' used here might actually have some drift and contain separate fannish generations, but overall, I think it might be interesting to check back on the results.

Offsite [Tumblr] - A call for LGBTQ+ resources (past and present) around the 'Arabic world / MENA region'.

My addition to the call for LGBTQ+ resources:

I added on two Queer as Fact podcast episodes, Queer women in medieval Arab literature and Shah Hussayn in a reblog. See also: @arabicqueer. Later, I stumbled across "Islam and Queer Muslims: Identity and Sexuality in the Contemporary World" and put that in another reblog (specifically footnote 11 and a note to check the bibliography). Finally, I re-found that article about gamification keeping trolls out of a Middle Eastern LGBTQ+ forum, Ahwaa, which I believe has a history and literature tab (if I can trust Google Translate), and I sent that in a DM to @arabicqueer.

To the surprise of probably no one, there's Tumblr link rot.

The call for resources is preserved in my reblog to offer up “Islam and Queer Muslims: Identity and Sexuality in the Contemporary World” here.

The article about Ahwaa is here.
