Pool Party!

And sadly, all good things must come to an end. :(

It's time to sort out the recycling, roll up your towel, and go back home. Hopefully you'll be taking some left-overs with you.

Remember to post your work or links to it, I'll give you to the 20th to get everything finalized.

I hope you had a good time, I hope you made some new friends! See you at the next party!!!

Word of the Day 07/15/22 Allyship

[simplyn2deep.livejournal.com]

Allyship (noun)
allyship [ al-ahy-ship ]

noun
1. the status or role of a person who advocates and actively works for the inclusion of a marginalized or politicized group in all areas of society, not as a member of that group but in solidarity with its struggle and point of view and under its leadership: Genuine allyship does not come with special recognition—we do not get awards for confronting issues people have to live with every day.
2. the relationship or status of persons, groups, or nations associating and cooperating with one another for a common cause or purpose: In 1943, fearing that earlier racist immigration laws would hinder allyship with China in the war against Japan, the U.S. passed legislation allowing 105 Chinese immigrants per year.

ORIGIN: First recorded in 1845–50; ally + -ship

HOW TO USE ALLYSHIP IN A SENTENCE
Some men have used their declared allyship to build their own platform rather than that of the women they claim to support.

Now YOU come up with a sentence (or fic? or graphic?) that best illustrates the word.

Weekend Challenge: Demotivation

[erinm-4600.livejournal.com]

So, I had ONE job, this morning... and I'm only getting to it now.

In honor of my day, I bring you a list of 237 demotivational quotes. Please understand that I'm hoping these are going to add a splash of humor to your project, and are not in any way meant AT you. (they are, however, meant for the brain trust I've been dealing with all day...)

Anyway.. 237 choices - some have some language in them, so if you'd like me to avoid those, please don't hesitate to let me know! One or more; specific numbers or a random... The usual :)

That said, I hope you all have a great weekend ♥
