Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Advertising your book in a presentation suggests that the organizers are backing it or vouching for it in some way. Using copy written material opens up the organizers and the presenter to litigation. A "holy shit!" sticker sounds fun, but there's gonna be a stickler in any group.
Otherwise known as a sticker stickler.
I’ll give you the copyright one but the book mention = conference endorsement is absolute horseshit. Have you ever met a real human being that thinks that? The sticklers can go fuck themselves. Don’t bow to the tyranny of one religious nut job. They have no power but pretend otherwise.
Sounds like a conference for whiners
They were conferences for rich people to trick themselves into feeling like they were doing good things for the world.
Whiners, no. But overinflated egos and a strong desire to be seen as serious professionals, yes. Image image image.
