We’ve got some exciting news! Through the hard work and continued dedication of our local elected of

We’ve got some exciting news! Through the hard work and continued dedication of our local elected officials, the Brooklyn Museum has been awarded a generous $3M grant to help bring our celebrated collection of African art back on view. The funding will support the critical first steps towards creating permanent galleries for our Arts of Africa collection—which will open by 2025 in time for our 200th anniversary. In conjunction with special exhibitions focused on art of the African diaspora, our new galleries will be the second-largest freely accessible collection of African art permanently on view in New York City, and the only one located in Brooklyn.⁠⁠

We’d like to extend a special thanks to Senator Chuck Schumer, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, and Representative Hakeem Jeffries for their leadership in securing this transformative grant and for making the new galleries possible! 

⁠⁠Stay tuned for more information about the galleries and collection.⁠⁠

url change

redgeot ->redgeot-side (for now cause I’m terrible at naming url)

Basically I for some reason have a main blog (now renamed @redgeot) that I don’t use XD and this is a side blog which makes it really inconvenient whenever I want to reply to comments and I’ve wanted to move stuffs to my main for awhile but then I procrastinated lol. SO I’m gonna keep this as a side blog for mdzs stuffs (cause i’ve made too many idk how to move them all to my main). Anyways you guys can stay here for mdzs content and maybe follow @redgeot if you’re interested in seeing more stuffs from me haha. Thank you all!

It looks like mercury in retrograde hit me after the fact.

First no power, next no internet now my laptop is broken.

I’m going to try and get the mod application form up and running. So we can hopefully resolve the deadness here.

ollyyears somethings comiiiiiing….something goooood… mailer link in bio! sign up to the mailing list my friends

Hey everyone! First of all, we’d like to apologize for the lack of updates recently—but rest assured, we’re here with an update. 

(if you don’t want to read this whole post: tl;dr we’re going to start shipping on Monday of next week) 

Basically here’s what happened. We told you guys in this post that the charms were flipped and we had to re-order them. Now initially we were told that this was because the file was backward. However, after talking with our graphic designers and the merch artist, we came to the conclusion this was not the case, and it ended up being a manufacturing error. Nevertheless, we reordered the charms and made sure to send in the correct file just in case it had been an issue on our end. This sparked a months-long back and forth in which our manufacturer gave us multiple reasons why they hadn’t shipped us the fixed charms. Ultimately, they stopped being helpful and cooperative about fixing the file and the charms despite us following their procedure and making changes at their request, and then attempted to get more money out of us for it. We’ve canceled the order with them and requested a refund, because at this point we are all incredibly frustrated. 

So, in the interest of fulfilling orders and getting everyone their copy of the zine and merch that they ordered, we will be moving forward with shipping all copies of the zine and accompanying merch starting Monday, April 19th. 

That being said—due to the COVID-19 crisis, there are some countries that are currently not accepting mail internationally. If this is the case for you, we will reach out to you via email and let you know that your package cannot be sent to you at this time. We will hold on to them though, and the moment international shipping is opened back up, we’ll send yours out. 

For those of you who ordered the PDF version or versions of the zine, we will be emailing those out starting on May 1st, so keep an eye on your inboxes!

Thank you all so much for your patience, and make sure to keep an eye here and on our twitter for more production updates! We’ll be posting pictures as things go along so you can all track the progress!

We are go for launch - OUR ONLINE SHOP IS OPEN!!!We are publicly announcing it here first, because TWe are go for launch - OUR ONLINE SHOP IS OPEN!!!We are publicly announcing it here first, because TWe are go for launch - OUR ONLINE SHOP IS OPEN!!!We are publicly announcing it here first, because T

We are go for launch - OUR ONLINE SHOP IS OPEN!!!

We are publicly announcing it here first, because Tumblr is the place we began, where we met some of our first and still favorite designers, where we learned about new aspects of the vast and diverse Universe of creators in astrofashion.

Our shop is infused with science, from the carefully curated products to their informative descriptions to our “Shop By Science” menu and extensive Learn More page. You’re not just buying a beautifully designed & crafted piece of jewelry or clothing your accessory, you’re learning and sharing real science!

The blog will live on at blog.startorialist.com, and we hope to start posting here again soon, and not just products from our own shop - we still have nearly 200 draft posts stored up!

Here is our oh-so-brief origin story, and the mission of our business:

STARtorialist began almost seven years ago as the Universe’s premier astro-fashion blog, founded by astronomers Emily Rice & Summer Ash. When we shared the blog with our colleagues at research conferences, the most frequently asked question we heard was, “Where can we buy stuff?”! With the help of Kelle Cruz and Debbie Kovalsky, we experimented with BOOTHtique pop-up shops at conferences, to great success! Then the new FAQ became, “Do you have an online shop?” so we set that as our next goal.

Finally, the launch day is here! We are thrilled to be able to offer some of our favorite scientifically-accurate and space-inspired designs in jewelry, clothing, accessories, toys, and more. We have nearly 200 products in stock, and we will continually be adding more. We would love to hear what you are looking for, so Contact Us via the shop, and be sure to sign up for our Newsletter!

Your purchases will allow us to continue supporting independent designers and women/minority/family-owned small businesses, many of which are struggling during these challenging times. We are also committed to sharing some of our profits with STEM education, outreach, and equity & inclusion organizations in order to strengthen our community and improve our world. We thank you astronomically for your support!

Universal Love,

Emily, Summer, Debbie, & Kelle

Hello, we’ve received some asks questioning why a rec might not have been accepted for Hidden Gems Week. There are multiple reasons for this and why it could be.

1) The author you recommended is blacklisted. Many networks have authors that are blacklisted for various reasons. We will always delete these recommendations off right for any week.

2) The author is constantly getting recommended and the goal of Hidden Gems was to highlight and show love to smaller authors.

3) The recommendation had not been posted a full month.

4) The recommendation had over 1k notes.

5) Your recommendation was a summary and not actual feedback of the writing or you did not send enough feedback as is explained in the rules.

Now, typically when we reject a recommendation, we take the time to explain why and give you a chance to send in another ask correcting the issue. 

However, this week the admins realized we had received multiple incorrect asks which due to the huge amount of rec’s still to accept and the seeming confusion about the criteria in general, the admins made the decision to close asks early. Thus deleting any asks after that point on Thursday, that were outright incorrect, rather than explaining why and or in the case of those without or lack of feedback giving our usual chance of fixing this before rec’s close. However, before that point, all asks received an explanation to why they were rejected per usual. Any asks that meant the criteria wereaccepted.

We apologize to anyone who was confused on this, but any claims suggesting that the Admin Team for “no reason” was deleting asks purposely to harm anyone, especially small authors is a malicious and nonsensical rumor. The Admin Team gives many hours each month to answer hundreds of asks and tend to the network, however this week was simply overwhelming. We are trying our best. If there is one thing we now understand, is that this past Hidden Gems week was too subjective, and the network will never repeat it again.

Currently, the network team has been targeted, malicious rumors are being spread, and the team cannot work under such triggering conditions. Thus a break will be taken until the team is ready to return. We ask you all to remember that the goal of this network is to promote authors and give them feedback every week. That is all we have ever tried to do and will continue to do in the future.

- The Admin Team

Announcement!!!

Thank you for everyone who participated in Mallek Week 2021, it was a lot of fun and everyone made a lot of amazing works in appreciation of Mallek!!!

For those who are still working on stuff, and worried you miss the date, we will still be accepting late entries until the end of the week.

Thank you very much!

We’re delighted to announce that the Equivalent Exchange Anthology was able to donate a total of $4,

We’re delighted to announce that the Equivalent Exchange Anthology was able to donate a total of $4,224.69 to the Organization for Transformative Works, the parent organization of the Archive of Our Own (AO3)!

This includes all proceeds from our after-sales, as well as donations from some of our amazing contributors who chose to give some or all of their payment allocation. We all made this happen together! ❤️

For legal reasons: we are not affiliated with the OTW or AO3 – we just appreciate all of their incredible efforts to keep fandom vibrantly alive, and wanted to give back! You can learn more about the OTW here.

For transparency: all contributors to the Anthology were equally compensated, with the option to donate part or all of their allocation, or exchange it for a zine bundle. None of the moderators, including those who contributed fanworks, received any compensation.

Today’s post will be late as I have a slight hedache :(

Announcement

This blog will go on hiatus. I don’t feel like my jokes are as good as they used to be, and it’s hard for me to find the inspiration to keep it going. These two years have been really fun and I hope you enjoyed my shitposts as much as I did!

—Bonk

ImportantNote.

The reason why we tag a lot is to keep things organized for us, and it helps some of our mods who have ocd issues, and need certain tags, in order for the blog to feel complete!!!

Thank you to all of the people who asked this or wanted some certain clarifications or at least suggestions, and I hope this helps, that we can find a compromise because yes, we get that sometimes it might not necessarily be needed, but in other cases/sometimes it is, so that way, people also understand what is happening, and that fights, hate, drama or misunderstandings don’t happen, or at least less frequently/or less drastic[ly].

We know how this fandom is, and can get, sadly! And, we hope that this insight helps. So, if you want to pm us, and help us find a compromise to this, that would be amazing.

Hello, Happy New Years!

I hope everyone has had a somewhat good (or okayish) of 2021. My patreon page has been somewhat a test run for me to manage a pledge-only website where I can paywall a few things. I gave myself a two years deadline to review how I feel about this. The conclusion: It’s just Meh.

Okay, I will do my best not to sound ungrateful since having any amount of pledgers are most fortunate than most content creators I’ve encountered, and they’re more strict on schedule than I am (I do not have a schedule!!).

So yeah, as it turned out, this wasn’t for me! I didn’t feel like posting R18 fanworks, I didn’t have time to draw intricate works where I can proudly share PSD files of. I pay favoritism towards my Fanbox more because of smaller traffic + original concepts dumping. I *actually* have more R18 works there too (LOL). I thought long and hard about just keeping this Patreon to archive my older fan arts… then I just feel really Meh about it.

Thank you so much for sticking around! And NGL the amount I received from here actually helped in my grocery bills and such! Woo! Not being starved during the pandemic is such a privilege nowadays. Okay, but all seriousness, your generosity and just being thoughtful about me and my contents is actually a lot, I appreciate it.

On January 27th, the Patreon page will be officially closed.

I will continue to run my Fanbox as per usual, but more casual, you know. Whew!

Feel free to ask question below, or shoot a question at this anonymous google form. [LINK]

That’s all from me, have a good year!!!

Just some small announcements <3

1. It’s exam season for me, so for a few weeks I won’t be writing anything or taking requests. I’ll try to write something during my holidays afterwards tho :)

2. I will be discontinuing Unwelcome Guest. I don’t feel the inspiration for it anymore and I honestly hate where the story has gone. I didn’t write it well and it’s kinda ruined it for me lol

3. This page is almost at 100 followers! I’m so grateful, so I was thinking about doing a 100 followers event! I have a few ideas already - like matchup requests, or prompt requests - so i just wanted to see if you guys have any ideas or anything :D

simnopke:

For some reason I’m uncomfortable with not releasing mods that I have created already, especially when I realize that others would certainly enjoy them. Unfortunately, releasing mods isn’t a piece of cake for me, given that I want to spare the players the trouble: bugs, undescribed conflicts, and other issues.

Most of my time in the game I spend on testing mods. However, I think that one tester won’t be ever as efficient or reliable as many testers. Especially in moments when it turns out that I missed a bug or a significant conflict.

I would need volunteers to test my mods before I release them. To avoid unnecessary confusion, I’d love them to have some experience with using mods, and be familiar with HDCU.

When I created a special channel on my Discord server, within over two weeks I got no feedback about a mod I shared. I hope that happened because the @everyone mention didn’t work properly or the new channel didn’t show (I deleted it eventually), not because over 70 people decided to ignore me

Please give me a shout if anyone of you is interested in becoming a tester

Testers still wanted

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me on Tumblr or Discord.
