i love you fandom i love you self indulgent joy. i love you a million variants of a million ideas made by a million different fans. i love you varied interpretations. i love you canon-divergent aus. i love you entirely-different-settings aus. i love you roleswap aus. i love you crackfic. i love you crossovers. i love you hyperspecific headcanons. i love you vehement self-projection. i love you OCs. i love you sonas. i love you shippers of people who have never met. i love you shippers who twist canon into pretzels to make it work. i love you theorists. i love you cosplayers. i love you space for people to bond over something that at one point, made all of them happy, and inspired them to create.

and to every person who ever made a take i disagree with, a story i don’t like, or who enjoys engaging with fandom in a way i don’t understand- i love you. i love you BECAUSE i don’t get it. i love that you’re having fun, and being yourself, and being self-indulgent no matter what I think. keep at it. enjoy yourself. create.

If you're looking for a good, centralized collection of fundraisers for people and organizations doing on-the-ground work in Minnesota right now, someone on Bluesky put together a great resource hub for things like food support, rent relief, mutual aid, and immigrants' rights centers that I'd really love to see spread around.

And if you're local to the Twin Cities, there's a "Take Action" section with links to ways to get active, as well as some resource guides for legal observers, etc.

Those of us here in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the metro area appreciate every bit of support we can get right now, especially with the federal government cutting off things like SNAP benefits for Minnesotans and threatening further retaliation. Keep us in your thoughts, and maybe pick a cause to support, if you can.

Reblogging to add that the person who put this together has turned it into a full-fledged website, if that's any easier to spread around!

Isa's online handle is Secondlina

and, before making the cutesy crow time comics—which to be more specific with some visuals since there are actually a few crow webcomics out there, are these ones:

—she started with and still makes a comic called Namesake, which looks like this:

which may be a slightly more familiar name for the people familiar with hiveworks, being that it has always had a rather prominent placement on the hiveworks website.

Adding the original Guild letter that started the ball rolling, for anyone who lacks that context when they see this reblog.
