unfunny business in potter fandom
As though the clusterfuck that is now the House of Representatives weren't enough, I came across something deeply troubling ... in a very LOLWUT way.
The Pepsi Refresh Project is this excellent grant program which awards money on a monthly basis for ideas to fund great ideas. These ideas are aimed at ideas for making a positive impact in one's community, awarded on a monthly basis and voted on at the Project's website.
There's a write up at Unfunny Business. But short story short: Harry Potter fandom's Fiction Alley wants $25,000 to update their site and servers.
... Now I love me some HP, and back in the day I was all over FA. But. ... But.
But.
I just took five minutes to vote for some actually-community-oriented ideas at the $25,000 giving level (they award $5k, $50k and $250k) - like build a no-kill dog shelter to rehabilitate abused dogs on some lady's land, start an aquaponics program to grow lettuce for healthy school lunches, and bring art to children with visual and hearing impairment. If you have five minutes, I'd highly encourage you to browse and cast a couple votes as well.
Basically every idea on that site > getting grant money to run a fansite. :/ Prioritesssss~
