Shameless Self-Promotion Sunday Thursday

Jill

Promote yourself.

(Editor note:  Ooops on the scheduling button there! Nevermind.)

Netiquette reminders:

  • we expect Content Notes as a courtesy to our readers for problematic content in linked posts and/or their comment threads (a habit of posting only triggering/disparaging links may annoy the Giraffe (you really don’t want to annoy the Giraffe))
  • extended discussion of self-promotion links on this thread is counter-productive for the intended signal-boosting –  the idea is for the promoted sites to get more traffic.  If it’s a side-discussion that would be off-topic/unwelcome/distressing on the other site, take it to #spillover after leaving a note on this thread redirecting others there.

    1. Yeah, I was confused. I’m on muscle relaxers right now, because back injury, but I didn’t think I’d just lost THAT many days…

    1. A lot of people saw the screencapped exchange between the guy who sent a woman an unsolicited full-frontal nude pic of herself, and her response which was to track down his mom and send her the exchange

      Do you mean ‘himself’ or am I not understanding? With all this Sunday being Thursday stuff, everything seems confusing.

  4. I wrote about my control issues, especially regarding food, in Omg no more food for liiiiiiife and then realized that I had moved away completely from my original intent.

    So, I wrote about my personal struggle with food, dieting, and weight maintenance in Weight and light.

    Warnings for mentions of eating disorders (not mine), self-loathing, and other “damn, women have to deal with a lot of body stuff”-type thoughts.

  7. I’m writing a somewhat-historical, somewhat-fantasy story that I’d like to turn into a graphic novel. It’s about an all-female team of awesome aviators working as flying ambulance pilots and healers during a long war. Inspired by real-life events and people, but with more weird flying machinery. I’d like to collaborate with an artist who can handle the illustration side of it.

    I don’t have a budget, as you might guess, so for now it would be entirely a side project born out of, erm, a combined love for geeky comics and feminist female centered stories, with a pretty lax production schedule. Though we could put it up for crowdfunding. If anybody is interested and has the skills, let me know.

  12. Methinks ’tis time to update a ‘net classic

    The world needs a social justice version of John Baez’ classic simple method for rating potentially revolutionary contributions to physics AKA The Crackpot Index, to rate our never-ending “feedback” from troglodytes of assorted stripes who are convinced that not only are we Doin It Rong but that we deserve to be threatened into silence for daring to have an opinion in the first place.

    Please add your suggestions!

  13. I’m a feminist contemporary romance writer based out of Austin, Texas. Yes, wrap your brain around it. My goal is to drag this genre out of the dark ages one self-sufficient, forward-thinking heroine at a time. In my free time, I get myself in trouble on book blogs by opening my big mouth and saying things like, “I dunno … doesn’t that book kinda sorta foster rape culture?”

    I find writers who blog about “the craft” untenable, so I like to entertain by writing about funny, everyday stuff, like the gentle art of slacking.

    Nice to meet you all. J’adore this blog, BTW.
