Hello friends of Vid Party, long time no see!

We're putting together a vid show for a Zoom screening at Wisconline in only ONE WEEK. How do I get involved, you ask?

To attend the show Saturday, May 23 at 8pm CST (UTC-5): Register for Wiscon ($25, or $5 reduced rate)

Suggest vids! Leave a comment here or email vidparty.wiscon@gmail.com to recommend works for us to program (please include a link). Self-recs are welcome and encouraged!

We are open to fan remix videos in all genres and from all traditions, so long as they have some connection to WisCon's focus on social justice and speculative fiction. The general rule is that a vid should be engaged with at least one of a) speculative fiction or b) social justice: a vid about women characters on a historical show, a vid about how robots are cool, or a vid about racial justice in scifi would all be welcome at Vid Party.

Volunteer! To fulfill our commitment to accessibility, we provide detailed warnings/content notes and subtitles for every vid in the show. We could use your help!

If you're able to help with warnings, you get to watch vids in advance and tick some predefined boxes. You can do a lot or a few!
If you're able to help with subtitles, we have some tech support in this community, but nowadays the easiest method may be to put the streaming link into https://downsub.com and then make any corrections in a text editor.

Both Wiscon and Vid Party are running at a smaller scale nowadays, but they are still a beloved part of SFF book and media fandom. We hope you will come party with us!!!

p.s. Vid Party is no longer using Twitter/X for social media updates – we now have a Bluesky:

Content Notes:

So today's the 17th of MerMay and we have a merman today. He's drawn with one of r

dm 's 3d printed pens he designed, with the Schmidt nibs.

I used Diamine's Solar Storm ink which is a chameleon shimmer ink.

People think this guy looks like rdm but it wasn't intentional. Guy with a beard. See what you think.

Peonies

by Jim Harrison

The peonies, too heavy with their beauty,

slump to the ground. I had hoped

they would live forever but ever so slowly

day by day they’re becoming the soil of their birth

with a faint tang of deliquescence around them.

Next June they’ll somehow remember to come alive again,

a little trick we have or have not learned.

(via Read a Little Poetry FB page--many thanks!)

(they also have a website, do take a look: readalittlepoetry.com/)
