Project queers unite!
For this Valentine’s day, I thought we could talk about ~PASSION~ specifically the kind you might have for your latest woodworking project, the homemade jam you just sealed in a jar, or the poetry you’re writing. In other words, we want to hear about your Passion Projects, the things you are doing that you’ve fallen head over heels for, and then we want to share them all in a special A+ gallery right here on this very website on February 14th — complete with your social media handles so that you can follow and be followed by folks with shared interests (or completely divergent interests — you do you). Send us your projects no later than February 10th! You have one week! Submit your projects here! I am personally looking forward to seeing everyone’s projects with immense excitement so I hope that if you’re on the fence and you think, “Hm, should I do this?” that you then think “Nicole would personally be elated if I did!” and then you do!
A Very Short FAQ
What counts as a passion project? What if I’ve just started? What if I do it professionally?
This is in the eye of the beholder, A+ member. The key is to look inside yourself and ask: am I passionate about this? Can it be construed as a project? I’d say, if it’s something you do that requires some kind of work or action on your part (so not solely consumption) and you might describe yourself as loving it, then it counts! We’re trying to be expansive queers here. Let’s not limit ourselves before we get started!
Will you share these photos or entries outside of A+?
Nope! We will not. However, do keep in mind that we do not actively vet A+ members, so anyone who is willing to give us their information could sign up and view this if they want to.
What if I have multiple projects I want to submit?
Let’s say that everyone can submit two if they want! Can you pick two? Just fill out the form twice to do this and put a little note in your “about the project” section telling me that you have two entries, please!
Send Us Your Passion Projects by February 10th!
THANK YOU so much for your participation and also for being awesome folks.
This looks like so much fun! I love hearing about passion projects.
My problem isn’t should I participate? Or does this count? but which one of my many, many passions should I submit? It’s a good problem to have.
Okay so I just added to the FAQ and am saying that if you have more than one project, you can submit two! I know that it’s not 50 but hopefully it makes the choosing easier <3 Just leave a little note in the about-the-project section if you submit two so that I know and can try to put them together.
Woo hoo! Thank you Nicole!!
Oh my god. I have about 50 half-completed passion projects, how am I supposed to choose one 😭😭😭
Love this idea, can’t wait to see the gallery
Love this feedback! I just updated the FAQ to say that you can submit two projects…which I realize isn’t 50 but hopefully that’s helpful! Just put a little note in the about-the-project section so I know to look for the other one and put them together. Excited to see your entry(ies)!
Awesome, thank you so much Nicole!
Get ready to hear about ROLLER SKATING!!!
I am READY to hear about roller skating!!
I’m so ready to hear about everyone’s projects. Mine that I’m thinking about is more of a hobby than a passion, but it still makes me happy so I think I’ll submit it :)
Yay, I always love the galleries and this is such a nice topic! It’ll give me some extra motivation to hang some art up in my new place as well, so I can take cute pictures of it, so thank you!
