ownvoices

[marnanel]

Now, the world is very wide
(seven seas from side to side)
and it holds a million ways to tell a tale,
And you'll broaden your horizon
When the work you lay your eyes on
Isn't always European, straight, and male.
If you've ever been and gone
to a panel at a con
I'm assuming you're familiar with the sight:
There'll be four and twenty guys
They've shortlisted for a prize
And EVERY... SINGLE... ONE... OF... THEM... IS... WHITE!

Nicely done! I may publicly link to this on Twitter, if that's all right with you.

I particularly love that this is a take on *Kipling*, speaking of ownvoices and whatnot.

Of course :) (and thanks for noticing the subtext!)
