We should have, like … an event or a tag or something inspired by Magnus’s first duck carving where we’re encouraged to post art (visual, writing, handicrafts, music, whatever) that we’re nervous and uncertain about and then other people come in and say nice things about it.
It’s been almost a year since Magnus’s First Duck and I think that’s a great time to make this idea a reality.
So by the power vested in my by my own defiant self-confidence, I’m declaring June 1st-7th, this year and every year that follows to be Duck Days!
For the first week of June, this blog will be reblogging any post tagged with #duckdays2018!
There’s two ways to celebrate this event! One is by making and/or posting content you’re uncertain about. Art, writing, music, craft, cooking, programming, anything at all! It’s a great time to try something new or show off something you’ve been working on.
If you don’t have anything you want to post (and even if you do) the second way to celebrate it is even more important: reblog, reply or comment on the work and tell the creator what you like about it!
If you’re not in the TAZ fandom, don’t let that stop you from participating! It’s inspired by TAZ, but appreciating and sharing amateur work is something anyone can enjoy. Let’s spread positivity, celebrate amateurs, celebrate learning and growing and punch “cringe culture” in the face!
