If you’re like me, you’ve been waiting for this moment since, oh, probably May 10th.
Sign-ups for SWBB 2019 are now open and this year we’re using a fancy new Google Form to get everyone situated. You can find that here: https://goo.gl/forms/gjOxoMCPxZ0hzK4y2. Author sign-ups close December 29th.
Dates (and hopefully a FAQ!) are coming soon; your mod got caught up preparing for NaNoWriMo and November snuck up out of nowhere. Such is life.
Interested in doing our banner art this year? Ping swbigbang@gmail.com and prepare to be glomped. Feel free to ask any questions at that address or by submission to this tumblr (response times will vary).
To our old and returning friends–good to see you again! To our new ones, welcome! May the Force be with you all!
If non black people want to damage the fuck out of their hair that’s fine, whatever, but don’t be calling the moldy ass shit you get as a result dreadlocks, dreads, or locs, because I promise you they aren’t.
Sincerely, someone who actually knows what the fuck they talking about.
Feel free to reblog if you aren’t black and against cultural appropriation
Seriously. White “dreadlocks” are literally just unwashed, matted, damaged hair. Knock it off, fellow white people jfc.
And miss me with that “but the vikings/irish had dreadlocks!!!” shit, because it’s not fucking true. Vikings and Celts were clean as fuck and commonly had intricately braided hair. Not nasty-ass matted “dreadlocks”.
