It's my 11 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

[debwalsh]

calling progressive activists on tumblr!

We at @fandomtrumpshate are relaunching our action blog, which aims to help people get involved in progressive causes in practical, concrete ways. We've got thousands of fans who have been raising money for a host of progressive causes over the past eight years, and we know that many of these fans would like to go beyond fundraising to start doing some of the work themselves.

Making that leap can be hard, though, which is why we'd like to offer some examples. We're hoping to share stories -- your stories -- about how you got involved in activism and what it means to you.

If you're willing to share your story, please make a post that answers these questions (or some of them; no need to answer all of them!) and tag us -- @fthaction -- and we'll reblog it.

when did you first get involved in activist/community work, and what motivated you to do it?

how did you get started? how did you find your niche?

what was something you struggled with early in your activist work, and how did you learn to manage/overcome it?

what's a setback you've faced, and how did you make it through?

what is the thing you're most proud of?

what are the unexpected joys or benefits that activist work has brought into your life?

what's the one thing you really want to say to people who are thinking of getting involved?

Unlisted Fandoms Challenge

While we pull together the post on the various types of fan labor being offered so far, here's a quick update on the *hundreds* of write-in fandoms we've received ...

At the top of the list we have Jeff Satur holding onto the lead with 7 entries, but Zhen Hun/Guardian is right on his heels with 6. And then there's a three-way tie for third place with 5 write-ins each for BBC Ghosts, Control (Remedy Game), and Dungeon Meshi / Delicious In Dungeon. Schitt's Creek claims fourth place with 4 entries, and in fifth there's a 14-way tie:

Alien Stage Cabin Pressure Dungeons and Daddies (Podcast) Fire Emblem Awakening Fire Emblem Fates Iron Widow Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Roswell New Mexico Stand By Me/The Body by Stephen King The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison Transformers Voltron: Legendary Defender White Collar Zhen Hun / Guardian (drama) RPF

All it would take to upset the apple cart and reset the leader board is one signup. Manage two and it's a whole new ball game. Yes, we're mixing metaphors. And we're not done yet!

Below the cut are the 133 fandoms that have so far received only ONE signup. Want to really shake things up? Get two more signups for any of these and watch them leap into the fray on the leader board ...

By the Numbers: halfway through the signup window edition!

That's right, signups for FTH 2025 have been open for a week, and what a week it has been! In 7 days we've had MORE signups than we did when we closed signups in 2024 �� but not quite as many as we had after we re-opened for 4 hours to see whether or not we could crack that 1000 signup barrier.

We expected a big year, and you're definitely delivering!

So, what are the actual numbers?

756 creators have signed up to offer 1020 auctions in 117 listed fandoms and 214 write-in fandoms. And there's a WEEK to go!

A couple of quick breakdowns on the offers we have so far:

Types of written fanwork:

660 fan fiction (new) 170 fan fiction (remix of an existing fic) 36 meta/analysis 32 fan poetry 23 other written fanwork

Types of fan art:

33 banner 53 book cover 29 comic 125 drawing/painting/etc 5 gifset 26 icon(s) 8 moodboard 8 photo manip

And over in our supported orgs, creators *overwhelmingly* are leaving the decision to their bidders. That said, the umbrella category heads up the list when creators weighed in on which orgs to support. The rest of the list shakes out like this:

Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights Middle East Children’s Alliance Freedom to Read Foundation Disability Law United Crips for eSims for Gaza News Literacy Project Global Project Against Hate And Extremism Hope for Ukraine Environmental Integrity Project Never Again Action In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda National Network to End Domestic Violence Fight for the Future Education Fund Bellingcat Congo Leadership Initiative

So that's where we are at 7 days in to our 2-week-long signup window. Where will we be on Feb 2? We suspect it will be over our 2024 total and into new record territory. It's a terribly exciting journey — and there's still plenty of time to join us!

Signups are OPEN!

oh my god...

so the first screenshot is trying to look this up on tiktok normally, "donald trump rigged election" and it says that search violates community guidelines.

the second screenshot is looking up the same exact thing, but with a (australian) vpn on. canadian vpn didn't fix it fyi.

THIS is exactly the type of censorship to be looking out for on tiktok. this actually is crazy.

[debwalsh]

I've signed up to write a Stuckyfic. Thinking of adding another auction for art, and a third for beta reading/proofreading. Whaddya think?

30 hours into the signup window …

and we are blowing past last year's (record-setting!) numbers. Can't hardly even see them in the rear view mirror …

Last year, at 29 hours we had 223 individual creators offering 312 auctions in 88 listed fandoms and 76 write-in fandoms.

This year? Well.

We have 354 individual creators offering 496 auctions in 106 listed fandoms and 124 write-in fandoms.

That's … amazing.

The listed fandoms with the most signups (so far!) are:

48 Good Omens 48 MXTX (works) * 40 K-Pop * 31 Sherlock Holmes * 31 Marvel * 21 DC * 21 Star Wars * 19 Teen Wolf

And for our unlisted fandoms:

5 Jeff Satur - Music Videos 4 Zhen Hun / Guardian (drama and novel) 3 Cabin Pressure 3 Control (Remedy Game) 3 Fire Emblem Awakening 3 Fire Emblem Fates 3 Schitt's Creek 3 The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison 3 Transformers 3 Zhen Hun / Guardian (drama) RPF

Over in our supported orgs, most creators are leaving the decision to their bidders, but among those who are choosing specific ones, the any/all option for the umbrella category is doing very well. Just below them three orgs keep changing places - MECA, the Young Center, and Freedom to Read are neck and neck with their positions swapping (again!) AS WE'RE TYPING this post.

Also of note, we have 26 fan labor offers - so far!

Stay tuned for deeper dives into the un/listed fandom numbers, and for a round up of the various types of fan labor on offer.

Signups are OPEN! Join us to boost your fandom's presence!
