Some megathread notes:
- please do not post megas to !chicago@hexbear.net !furry@hexbear.net !strugglesession@hexbear.net or any other hidden comms
- megas are typically posted between 10pm and 4am UTC. there's no hard rule about it, but you're welcome to post during that window (you don't need to wait for midnight your local time).
- mega topics should be unironic -- there's plenty of irony to go around in the mega comments and elsewhere on the site

great! do you want to be added to the schedule, or just do them informally?
Sorry but November 21st needs to be a combo megathread, as it is also the 30th anniversary of Sonic 2, one of the best video games ever made.

sure thing! as you can probably tell, the challenge is finding people to do the megas, not people taking too many, haha.
Removed by mod
great! do you need me to post it for you, or are you fine posting it when your slot comes up?
I would like to post it myself on /c/literature but I have two kids so if I forget, just pull the trigger.
sounds great! thanks for signing up to post a mega!
:meow-hug: my pleasure.
Throwing out an idea for anyone that would like to collaborate - A Saturday/Sunday Figure Drawing in /c/art using excalidraw or some other system for collaborative art
A set of threads on a historical event encapsulated within 2 or 3 parts.

September 1st, I will make a thread about this person: Fausto Reinaga is the great Native philosopher of Bolivia and even called the Indigenous Franz Fanon. A Quechua-Aymara born in the mountains, he went from illiterate farmer to the main philosopher of Decolonization. Here are 5 reasons you should know Fausto Reinaga. https://twitter.com/AmautaNew/status/1562292482838339585?s=20
sounds good! sorry for the delayed reply.

Can I get the 13th?
yeah. shit, it's been so long since someone asked for a mega, I haven't even updated the thing.
@thelastaxolotl tagging you since it's been a while since we've had to check whether someone has a reservation. and, of course, thank you so much for holding down the fort with the megas.

Can I get August 19th?
:07:
Removed by mod
I don't see why not. I'm just glad to see people signing up for megas!
I guess on the small chance that someone wants to do a Christmas thread we can talk about doing one of the two a day early or late? but that would be months from now anyway.
Thanks! works for me. Also, July, not June.
oops. I blame whoever put the J months back to back. stupid Roman emperor or something...
Fair enough, no worries. To be fair, I was about to shoot my shot for June 10th too but that might be overkill on booking lmfao

yeah, sure

great! when would you like to post it? also, do you mind me asking what the topic is? pretty much anything is ok, as long as it's not a shitpost/bit.
just a little non-shitpost writeup of

available for tomorrow but this user wants to request it https://hexbear.net/post/198543/comment/2500895
also available for June 7
that user was banned yesterday and is being inappropriate about it, unfortunately. we're dealing with it.
in any case, thank you for volunteering! I'll put you down for tomorrow, June 4th (which means posting tonight if you're in the Northern Hemisphere.)
