Just REVISED Post

The Just Post Headquarters have just finished with a rather long G2 summit meeting. The agenda was simple:

1. How to ensure that the Just Post nods are inclusionary vs. exclusionary. I brought the wine, Mad brought some beer. We met over long emails and crackly phone connections.

To us, the answer was simple. Allow for self-nominations. And ensure that the self-nominations are indistinguishable from the ones nominated by others. We want to remove the contest-award-popularity element because it detracts from our mission.

Simply put, we envision a roundtable. Everyone who shares a post will be included, and every post, whether self-shared or shared by another will be included. And of course, for the Just Post December Roundtable, all the wedding posts will be re-listed again. (so no need to send those back over).

We've spent time debating with ourselves and others about what exactly we are trying to do with the Just Post idea. We realized that the idea of collecting by nominations can lead to exclusion, hurt feelings, and general feelings of left-out-ed-ness. Since the spirit of the Just Post has everything to do with community building, social justice, and the raising of awareness, we realized that by only asking for posts that were read and recognized by others, then we'd be missing the whole point.

For those of you who saw this coming a mile away, all I can say in our defense is neither one of us has ever been very popular or was ever nominated for homecoming queen, best smile on campus, or anything else, so forgive us, we had little experience to draw upon.

So, please allow us to share our Just Post, Pt 2., the Roundtable Edition. We are sincere in our mission to raise our collective awareness to the good going on in the world. And this minor yet major change allows for even more juicy reading, an even greater exchange of thoughts and ideas, and even more ways to effectively show up in our own communities and our planet and stand together on the side of good. And everyone can join. No need to wait on others. Hey, now there are no excuses, either. Let's get it on. Let your voices carry (oh, and yeah, but by the 8th).

It's Just that simple.

And the button is available to whoever wants it. If you haven't already gotten it, or aren't savvy enough to copy it from our sites (I have no idea how to do it but Mad does), let me know.
