If you are an Australian resident:
There is currently a petition open on the Australian Parliament's government website, calling for a ceasefire and an end to Israel's occupation of Palestine.
After four weeks of collecting signatures, the petition will be directly submitted to the House of Representatives, where a minister will be requested to respond.
As far as petitions go, this one is probably our best option. It is the only way that we, as individuals, are able to directly make requests from the House.
If you are a resident or citizen of Australia, please sign the petition below:
>> Petition: Call for a Ceasefire and an End to Israeli Occupation
After signing, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your signature. You will need to confirm, otherwise your signature will not be counted.
Almost all major cities are marching tomorrow (Sun, Nov 19). For more information, as well as other upcoming events and rallies in Australia, please visit APAN here.
Edit - reblogs are now off, as the petition closed on December 13th. It's now awaiting presentation to the House of Representatives.

2023 Rural Dionysia Announcement
Tumblr media
Io! The time of the year has come again for the Rural Dionysia!
How to participate
The Rural Dionysia is meant to be a smaller competition than its urban counterpart, as such, we have selected only 3 categories:
Freestyle poetry
Modern hymns
“Complete the fragment”
Freestyle poetry
Your poem can be about any chosen topic (myth, personal experience etc.) in any written format. It doesn't have to be religious in nature.
Modern hymn
An hymn must sing the praises of a deity of your choice. Unlike the "freestyle poetry", your work must be of religious nature to fit in this category.
Complete the Fragment
Each year, we choose a fragment from an Ancient Greek poet to work with. The challenge is that the initial fragment must be included somewhere in your piece in its original order. This means you can fill the gaps however you want, but you can’t switch the order of the words in your piece or remove words from the original fragment.
Here is the fragment selected for this 2023 edition: Paen 16 by Pindar (52q Oxyrhynchus papyrus; late 2nd century AD; trans. William H. Race; Loeb 56)
……………… ] Lord Apollo, .…] for I pray ….] with willing (mind?) to give ….] power suffices and you were judged to be ….] most gentle to mortals.
Here is the Greek text for reference. Note that because the word "mind" is unsure in this translation, it will be acceptable to keep or modify this word.
Tumblr media
-
If in doubt for any of these categories, remember that you can check submissions from the previous years to get an idea of how others have done before.
Submitting your piece
Please submit your piece through submissions on this blog. All entries must be tagged for the category they are being submitted to. but you can only choose 1 category per piece and each person may only submit 1 entry per category each year.
Entries must also be tagged for potentially triggering content and squicks. If your entry needs a trigger warning, kindly add them at the end of your submission and we will take care of adding them in. Check the rules below for further information about submissions.
Calendar of the event
Nov. 10: Official announcement and opening of submissions. Dec. 10: Final submission day. Dec. 11: Vote opening. Dec. 18: Vote closing. Dec. 19-20: Announcement of the winners!
No worries though! We will be posting reminders about each step when the time comes.
General rules
Roleplay and fanfic are not acceptable submissions. This is a religious festival, please respect our faith and do not submit an entry if you are roleplaying or writing fanfiction.
Unlike with the City Dionysia, entries do not necessarily have to be about specific deities or Hellenic polytheism except for the “Modern Hymn” category, which has to be dedicated to one or many gods of your choice.
There are no meter restrictions. This is up to the writer.
All stories, myths, and poems must be entered using the submissions button.
All entries must be tagged for the category they are being submitted to. Entries must also be tagged for potentially triggering content and squicks.
An entry may only be submitted to a single category.
Each person may only submit one entry per category each year.
Winners for each category will be decided by popular vote.
Admins of this blog cannot participate, for obvious reasons. As for now, this includes @thegrapeandthefig @verdantlyviolet
Questions about the rules? Check the blog for past answers, your answer might be in there. And if it's not, simply submit an ask. We'll answer in the best delays possible.

🚨🚨🚨 Sign Ups Open 🚨🚨🚨
The Exchange That Was Promised: Jaime x Brienne Smut Swap 2024 is here! This is the fourth and final year, so let's DO THIS!
How The Smut Swap Works:
Interested writers will sign up and will then be assigned prompts from another participant. They must then write one completed fic, rated M or E, incorporating one (or more) of these prompts. Fics are then posted anonymously between February 9 and February 11, with the big writer reveal on February 16!
By the end of the exchange, you will have written one smutty fic for another writer, and someone will have written one smutty fic for you.
Similar to other exchanges, if you’d like to participate, you will:
Sign up via a Google form;
Fill out a prompt survey on said form, and
Be matched to someone for whom you will write a fic using their prompt fills.
This exchange will be different in a few ways:
Like it says on the tin, this is for smut only, so all fics will be rated M or E for sexual content. All participants must be willing and able to write something of a sexual nature.
There will not only be a minimum word count (500 words), there will also be a maximum word count (5,000 words).
One of your prompts must be audio or visual in nature — a song, video, photo, moodboard, .gif, podcast, etc.
Due to the subject matter and ratings, only writers ages 18+ are invited to participate.
Important Note:
You must have an AO3 account to participate. If you do not have an AO3 account, you can either request one via the AO3 website or reach out to the organizers (@wildlingoftarth and @bussdowntarthiana​​) or this Tumblr account for an invite via the ask box.
Key Dates:
Nov 19 - Sign-ups are open. You will submit your prompts when you sign up.
Nov 25 - Sign-ups close
Nov 29 - Prompt matches sent out
Feb 9 to Feb 11 - Fics posted to AO3 collection
Feb 16 - Writers revealed
More detailed information will be posted with the sign-up link, and posting instructions will be shared after matches are sent out.

Mergwenthur Week 2022
November 13 - November 19, 2022
Mergwenthur Week 2022 is a week-long event dedicated celebrating the ship of Merlin, Gwen, and Arthur, consisting of a seven-day long prompt challenge. Each day has a word, trope, and color prompt assigned to it to reflect an aspect of Mergwenthur alongside an episode from the show.
All creators are welcome to participate. Content is open to fic, art, edits, gifs, manips, meta, poetry, podfic, and whatever else you can creatively come up with during these seven days.
You do not need to do something for each day. Participate as much or as little as you want.
You may tag #mergwenthurweek2022 and your content will be reblogged to our main Tumblr, mergwenthurweek.tumblr.com and our Twitter, Mergwenthurweek. If you are submitting to AO3, feel free to add your creations to the MergwenthurWeek2022 collection.
Please read the FAQ before sending an ask if you have questions.
HOW DO PROMPTS WORK?
The themes of each day are inspired by Mergwenthur. You can use the word prompts, trope prompts, or color prompts for whatever you make, or even write fix-it fics or make fanart related to the chosen episode.
The prompts are meant to inspire you, not box your creative muse in. You can interpret the prompts as literally or loosely as you want.
RULES
You may combine this fest with other ongoing challenges (ie: Merlin Bingo, Kinkalot, MerthurWeek, Tropemas, etc).
Each prompt days opens midnight in your time zone. However, there won’t be a deadline for when you post a prompt if it’s from an earlier day, and you have until the 13 of November to post. There will also be an amnesty week until the 26 for anyone who couldn’t post their fills in time. We understand it’s a hectic season for most of us. The event will officially end (and the AO3 collection will close) on November 26, 2022.
The last rule is to have fun. Please do not stress if you aren’t inspired for every prompt, and have fun creating!

From the 6th of November to the 3rd of December!
In honor of Arcane's first anniversary, we're running a month long fandom event!
Our beloved show is turning one year old! The fandom might have calmed down, but it's still going strong! To celebrate it turning one, and all its magnificent blorbos, we will offer 4 themed weeks for you to create any fan content you want!
Fics, art, from doodles to Gif sets, through cosplay or song playlists, all content is welcome.
Nov 6 - 12 will focus on pre-Arcane canon
Nov 13 - 19 will be for works set during canon
Nov 20 - 26 is all about post season 1 speculation
Nov 27 - Dec 3 will be AUs time!
Each week will come with a set of daily prompts you're welcome to use, but all content is accepted. If you want to do your own thing or pair up with another November prompt event, you're welcome to do so!
The specific prompt lists will be released later in the week along with the official event # tag and AO3 collection details. We'll also make a post detailing our tag system to help content creators who want to follow it.
Rules & Guidelines
Fanworks created for this event should be focused on Arcane character(s). LoL characters are welcome as supporting/side characters, but not as the stars of the show. So "Mel and Jayce try to resist as Swain's forces take over Piltover, aided by Machine Herald Viktor" is a-okay, but "Swain takes over Piltover and has a chat with a captive Mel as he finally wins the city" is not. Reader inserts and original characters are also allowed, so long as canon Arcane characters remain the focus.
NSFW or potentially triggering content, even if canon-typical, must be properly tagged with any applicable content warnings. We trust you to only submit NSFW works if you are 18+. Make use of the read-more bar to hide sensitive content, or host your work on AO3 or Twitter.
This event allows all ships and themes so long as everything is appropriately tagged.
All types of fanworks, including fic, art, moodboards, podfic, playlists, meta, embroidery, and more, are welcome for this event.
Racist, queerphobic, ableist, misogynistic, or otherwise hateful or bigoted behavior or fanworks will not be tolerated. Your work may include aspects of bigotry and oppression so long as they are properly tagged. For example: A fic that features a character facing ableism is allowed with content warnings; a work that includes ableist tropes as part of the narrative or erases a canon disability is not.
If you are submitting visual work, please consider writing an image description!
We're so excited to see the works you guys will come up with, whether you do one piece or a thing per day, crazy nano style, we'll be thrilled to see and share it!
Warm up those wrists and if you have any questions, check our FAQs or send us an Ask! Don't be shy!
EDIT : Link to the masterpost.

Goldenlight Week 2022
Tumblr media
Announcing Goldenlight Week 2022 for all Lunter/Huntceda/Goldenlight fans!
Hello, all! We have an account on Twitter but have decided to include a Tumblr account as well, for fans who prefer to post on Tumblr!
This event will run from Nov 13 to Nov 19 and will include one prompt a day:
Sunday: Wild Magic  ✨
Monday: Palismen  🐦
Tuesday: Halloween  🎃
Wednesday: Sunflower  🌻
Thursday: Scars  🤕
Friday: Hurt/Comfort  🩹
Saturday: Love Language 💕
Rules/Info
1.) This event is open for all kinds of fan creations. Fanfiction, art, photo edits, music, animatics, 'AMVs', or any other creative outlet is acceptable! It simply needs to be related to the Luz x Hunter ship.
2.) Feel free to interpret the daily prompts however you'd like. You also may combine prompts if you wish! 
3.) All entries must be SFW. This event is meant to be safe for fans of all ages.  
4.) Your entries may be in any language you wish. We welcome multilingual fans.
5.) 'Background ships' are allowed, as long as Lunter is the primary focus of the art/fic/etc.
6.) Late entries are fine. Try not to stress about the dates too much! 
7.) Tag submissions with the hash #goldenlightweek2022 (also feel free to tag this account @goldenlightweek2022). You may also submit entries on Twitter.
8.) If you headcanon Luz and Hunter as ‘s*blings’, please do not send entries. Many people in mainstream TOH fandom use that headcanon, but this event is for alternative views. However, 'plantonic' or ‘friendship’ Lunter is allowed; so is content that may be interpreted as either romantic or friendship.
If you have any questions, feel free to send an Ask!
Please also feel free to reblog and spread the word!  💜 💛

OAKLAND — A well-known transgender activist was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for murdering three family members in a brutal and frenzied attack that the judge said was the worst he’d seen in three decades.
Dana Rivers, 68, of San Jose, was found guilty last year of murdering Oakland resident Charlotte Reed, 56, her wife Patricia Wright, 57, and Wright’s 19-year-old son, Benny Toto Diambu-Wright, in an attack inside the victims’ home. Prosecutors say she used a handgun equipped with a silencer to shoot the victims, stabbed Reed 47 times as the couple slept in their bedroom and then set the garage on fire in an attempt to cover her tracks.
“It is a horrible thing to sentence someone to die in prison, and I don’t take that lightly,” Judge Scott Patton said in a Wednesday court hearing. “But this is the most depraved crime I ever handled in the criminal justice system in 33 years. Frankly, you deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison.”
Rivers, who first claimed self-defense during the guilt phase of her trial, then argued she was legally insane at the time, did not speak during sentencing. Wright’s brother submitted a letter to the court, in which he recounted the stress of going through the crime scene and how Rivers’ turned his sister’s warm and welcoming home into a blood bath.
Richard Wright said his sister was the “rubber band” that held their family together. She was an artist, a “peacemaker,” and “really wanted to be a parent.”
“When Dana Rivers killed my sister, she broke that rubber band,” his letter says. “What held my family together was gone.”
Rivers has been in jail since Nov. 11, 2016, the same day the murders were committed. She was arrested as she left the victims’ home, covered in their blood and headed toward a motorcycle that was parked nearby. The motive, according to prosecutors, was a mix of personal animus and anger at Reed for leaving an all-women biker gang.
Reed and Rivers met at the Menlo Park Veterans Affairs Center in Palo Alto, where they formed a friendship that included Rivers recruiting Reed into the motorcycle club known as the Deviants MC. They became estranged after Reed left the club, but Rivers methodically convinced her to restart their friendship to give herself an opportunity to commit the murders, Deputy District Attorney Abigail Mulvihill argued at trial.
Before her arrest, Rivers was best known as a schoolteacher who became an international news story when she came out as transgender to her students in a high school in Antelope, California. She was subsequently fired for sharing details of her transition, then sued the district and received $150,000 in a settlement. In the aftermath, she became an activist for transgender rights, and ultimately moved to the Bay Area to restart her life as an educator.
Patton denied a motion for a new trial filed by Rivers’ attorney, which argued that prosecutors committed misconduct and that the judge prevented relevant exculpatory evidence from being heard. Patton said the issues raised ranged from “trivial” to “frankly quite ridiculous,” and called the evidence of Rivers’ guilt “overwhelming.”

BALTIMORE — For the third time, a federal judge set a new trial date for Marilyn Mosby's federal perjury case.
The judge's order released Monday indicates jury selection for Mosby's trial is now set for Oct. 31 with the trial starting on Nov. 2.
This time, the delay is for Mosby's new defense attorney, a public defender, to get up to speed on the case after the withdrawal of her legal team.
Mosby's trial was already postponed once in April 2022 at the request of the defense and opposition from the government. In September 2022, the trial was delayed again to March 2023.
Last week, Maryland U.S. Attorney Erek Barron filed a joint status report to inform the court that the government and the defense will be available for trial starting on Oct. 31. The judge had to sign off on the proposed schedule.
The approved schedule follows.
May 1: Meet and confer regarding expert witnesses and pretrial motions
June 1: Deadline for expert disclosures
June 30: Deadline for the filing of pretrial motions and for supplemental expert disclosures
July 14: Responses due for pretrial motions and for the filing of motions to exclude experts and supplement expert disclosures
July 21: Deadline for the filing of replies to pretrial motions
July 28: Response(s) to motion(s) to exclude
Aug. 4: Replies in support of motion(s) to exclude
Sept. 8: Pretrial status conference and hearing on motion(s) to exclude and to supplement

The case against Baltimore's former top prosecutor
Mosby was indicted in January 2022 on federal charges of perjury when she withdrew money from her deferred compensation accounts, saying she was facing financial hardships because of the COVID-19 pandemic and making a false statement on a loan application. Prosecutors said Mosby lied to avoid paying taxes on the money.
Mosby's trial was already postponed once in April to Sept. 19 at the request of the defense and opposition from the government. In September, the trial was delayed again until March 2023.
Mosby faces 20 years in prison if convicted on the four federal charges she faces.
