Dropped my first newsletter of the year at fan/work. Talked about some amazing experiences and the lessons I've learned over the past year, and why the best part of fandom (creativity and community) needs tending. fanwork.beehiiv.com/p/fandom-is-...

fanwork.beehiiv.com

Fandom is still about community.

The one lesson I learned about being in fandom in 2025 is that it's still all about people, belonging, creating, and community.

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

What do you call a fan who engages in more scholarly activities/pursuits? Fan studies has aca-fan but what's the counterpart to that? Fan-nerd?

Can folks in the Conclave fandom share their favorite fanwork/fan projects? I remember seeing a zine and a video game? And I just want to learn more because the part of me that was born and raised Catholic is so intrigued by the fact that this movie has a passionate fanbase.

I'm always fascinated by what people can create because of fandom. I did an interview with two admins of the Blooms Run Club last year (a fan-run running club from members of the Philippine pop group BINI), and I'm happy that I can finally share this story. fanwork.beehiiv.com/p/when-fando...

I dislike that a chunk of idol or music fandom is people yelling "My cake is better than yours!" (as someone so eloquently summed it up for me) when I'm here eyes wide walking down a row of patisseries just staring at the treats and going "This exists?!", grinning and wiggling.

In this house, we love BINI fan art. I went to a concert for the PPop group BINI recently and got this bus ticket and stamp-like stickers from a fellow Bloom (that's what the BINI fans are called). It's this laro energy that I found in the fandom that made me want to connect with people.

It's this laro energy (laro roughly translates to playful in this context) that I found in the BINI fandom that made me stay and want to seek out community.
A bus ticket with holes punched on it like you would get in typical Filipino buses on the left and three stickers that look like stamps on the right. From top to bottom, the stickers represent different songs from the Philippine pop group, BINI.

It's also moved me to change my thesis proposal to be more focused on music fandom, playfulness, and transformative work (like fanart, fanfic, and fanvids, etc.) as a potential way of encouraging agency (and possibly developing imaginative leadership).

A bus ticket with holes punched on it like you would get in typical Filipino buses on the left and three stickers that look like stamps on the right. From top to bottom, the stickers represent different songs from the Philippine pop group, BINI. The topmost sticker is purple for Na Na Na, the middle sticker is yellow for the song Pantropiko, and the bottom sticker is black representing Strings. Each sticker has elements connected to the song and its music video.

What's the best new habit you picked up when you got older? I remember reading an intro to a fiction anthology where someone says they say, "I appreciate it," after saying 'Thank you,' and it's stuck with me ever since. I try to make sure to say those two things when I do feel happy and grateful.

We don’t have to repeat the mistakes of Twitter by following these outrage farmers when they come here. We can all just agree that these people universally suck and go about our lives without them in it. We don’t have to share “this person who sucks said another thing that sucks.” We can have peace!

one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed

A Probably Incomplete List of Bluesky User Safety Mechanisms

Protecting your posts
• disabling replies on your posts
• limiting replies on your posts to people you follow, mention, or include in specific lists
• disabling quote posting on your posts
• detaching your post from someone else's quote
• changing the above interaction settings even after a post is sent hiding replies to your posts for yourself or for everyone
• self-labeling your media for adult or graphic content to protect other users
• limiting account visibility only to logged in users
• note: this is not 100% enforceable but all major bluesky clients and apps support it

Limiting your interaction
• blocking users from seeing or interacting with your posts
• if you block after an interaction, they vaporize
• if they've replied already, the entire thread below their reply is cauterized for everyone, floating in space detached from your post
• note: your blocks are publicly visible via 3rd party apps
• muting users to remove them from your notis and feeds, and hide them in replies
• note: your mutes are private
• muting or blocking entire moderation lists of users
• note: inclusion in a list is public via third party apps. muting a list is private, blocks via a list are public
• subscribing to other people's mod lists
• note: your subscription is private, muting & blocking work the same
• subscribing to labelers (moderation services) from bluesky or third parties
o decide whether to show, warn, or hide posts that have been labeled in each category
• report content that should be labeled to bluesky and/or third parties labelers

Just a few months ago, I wrote my paper for my futures thinking class on the future of fandom, with climate change as a main driver. And yesterday, the management team of a PPop group I'm following just announced they'd move a concert date due to the expected impact of a supertyphoon.

Hi. You made it to the weekend. Have you eaten something? There's no valor in unnecessary suffering or working yourself into the ground. You are worth taking care of. Stay hydrated, get enough sleep, and try to make plans for something fun tomorrow. You still deserve time to play, rest and recover.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.
