The most basic premise for Inclusionists Inc is that I want to make a place to celebrate and support everyone that Tumblr exclusionists think don't count as queer/LGBTQIAP+. I also want to make it on a place that's not Tumblr; Dreamwidth is the platform I'm most familiar with aside from that, and this lovely place has some excellent tools for dealing with any hypothetical trolls. Plus, I imagine it'll be easier to weed out any exclusionists in advance, and more difficult for trolls to take over or derail in the first place due to the actual structure of the website. On top of all of that, it also has some excellent built in accessibility features, and accessibility is also something I want to make a focus of in the comm.
Here's some things I think it would be cool to post at Inclusionists Inc:
* Art (drawings, paintings, edits, crafts, etc; I for one plan to offer coloring pages!)
* Writing (prose, poetry, nonfiction, the works)
* Other various creative things (videos, fanmixes, recipes???, etc)
* Media recommendations featuring characters like us (books, movies, podcasts, fanfics, etc)
* Media reviews of canons that feature or supposedly feature characters like us, with warnings as appropriate
* Character headcanons
* All sorts of creative fandom stuff, in fact
* Introductions ("Hi, I'm [name], and I'm [sexuality/gender], and here are some things about me!")
* Friending/following memes for various identities
* Resources for various queer identities
* Resources for various intersectional identities (queer and: disabled, POC, poor, fat, homeless, religious, etc)
* Theme weeks/months for various identities (I know there's an Ace Awareness Week, and there's probably more I'd love to observe community-wide)
* Creative challenges and/or prompt sets
* Memes
* Icons
* Product recommendations, promotions, and/or shoutouts ("So-and-so's store offers a whole lot of aromantic pride stuff!")
* General fun, supportive, and pride related stuff
Here's some stuff I think would be really cool to do, but may not have the spoons to make happen myself:
* Exchanges (electronic-only or physical goods included)
* Fundraisers for various related causes and charities
* Giveaways (this I might be able to manage, but I don't want to bite off more than I can chew)
* Probably more, but I got distracted trying to remember everything I came up with at work that I thought I could pull off
I'd love to know what everyone thinks of these ideas; if you like them, if you like some especially more than others, if you have any suggestions, or if you might be willing to help with anything! This is actually a little ambitious for me, but I really do want there to be a place where we can build a true community together, and I'm willing to build the groundwork at the very least; I just want some help to keep it going :)
I'm also open to workshopping the name, as I know some folks may not care for the incidental association with corporations.
Edit: A poll for possible community names is up over here! Go check it out!
Edit 2: Potential community rules, a maaaaajor part of this community working, are up for review. Please take some time to go over them and offer input if you have the time!
Edit 3: The poll has settled, and the final name is
queerly_beloved, which is now open! Please come visit and play :)
