updating the SD/NSD resource page

[schmevil]

We're updating the Scans Daily / No Scans Daily resource page and I need your help!

I'm looking for good 101 level articles and posts on: tone, engagement strategies, being an ally, accessibility. And just general - but excellent - 101 level anti-oppression articles (racism, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, kyriarchy etc). Really well written, beginner stuff either in the LJ/DW community, or outside of it.

What might help is if you add a bit of commentary - the list of links does look a bit impenetrable.

Say, something like, "It's often asked why depictions in pop culture matter - "It's only a comic," or "Why don't you worry about things that matter?" These links are to articles explaining why it does matter."

(Also, on the profile page - in several places it says to 'contact mods', could that maybe have a link to click? It took me forever to find the email address last time I reported something.)

We're adding a bunch of links and splitting them into easy to read sections (tone, privilege, etc). Maybe a short intro paragraph to each could be of use.

Good idea on making it easier to contact the mods.

Also, adorable icon.

Yeah, I think if you want to induce noobs to read them, it would help if they were laid out very clearly with simple explanations of what they address, because it seems this is all-new information and ideas to some people.

I remember being really annoyed and scrolling frantically through the page all "It's here somewhere! I KNOW it is!" :)

Isn't it? It was from a comic where Ka-zar's sabre-toothed tiger rescues some baby dinosaurs.

Thank you though. No one tells us things like 'Your email address is hard to find!' They just stew about it and claim mod oppreshun. Arg. (I'm a disgruntled mod today).

I haven't read that comic. D'aw!
