Monday, June 1, 2015: First “Protect The Creators” Day On Tumblr

Monday, June 1, 2015: First “Protect the Creators” Day on Tumblr

First, I want to thank all of you who answered my question and who liked and reblogged my original call to action, as well as those of you who sent me messages. For a while it seemed there was very little interest, but it is now taking on a life of its own, and this is wonderful.

Monday, June 1, 2015: Protect the Creators Day

Monday, June 1, 2015, No content except the “Protect the Creators” (PtC) photo. You can reblog others’ posts of it or download a PtC logo here. There are several languages, though perhaps English is the best way to go, since Tumblr staff is located in the US.

Use the PtC jpg as your avatar during Monday, June 1, 2015, or use it as your avatar now. Click on this link, to access the Google Drive folder that has all the signs I created.

Tag the post “protectthecreators.” As towermill suggested, this is a great way for staff to see it trending. It may be a good idea to also tag it “staff,” “tumblr staff,” “staff.tumblr.com,” and “support.tumblr.com.”

Spread the word. Are you in?

Recycled paper created with paper cranes from Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

The paper cranes honor Sadako Sasaki who was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on her home of Hiroshima and twelve when she died of leukemia caused by exposure to radiation. According to Japanese legend, anyone who folds a thousand origami paper cranes will be granted a wish. During her lifetime, Sadako began folding paper cranes towards her goal of one thousand and, after her death, her classmates continued folding, completing one thousand paper cranes.

Lillian, you spent seven years writing The Charm Buyers. What were your inspirations for writing this story?

My inspirations were the land and the people. Tahiti is incredibly beautiful, but there’s also such sadness in its history. I hoped to bring its recent history to life, particularly nuclear testing - but I didn’t want to write a polemic novel. I hope that The Charm Buyers brings the complexity, radiance, darkness, and hopefulness of its individuals to life.
