Alt+H

We're hearkening in the autumn once more at Alt+H. Lùnastal math (happy Lammas!) to those who celebrate it, and to those who don't, happy... August QOTM day? Either way, observe the festivities by answering this month's question:

Is your identity literal or symbolic? Voluntary or involuntary? As or with? Why do you think that is, what is it like, and what do you imagine the opposite would be like?

You can answer on tumblr, twitter, or the facebook page; or you can link us to something on your own site via any of our social medias or the #qotm channel on the Discord server.

You can also send your submissions to althstaff@gmail.com with an optional alias to have them published on the site, and you can submit anonymously through the tumblr as well! So many options!

You can submit whatever you like! It doesn't have to be a whole essay. We're seeing an uptick in art-based submissions which is really exciting, and any other medium you can think of is cool too. You want to do some slam poetry about being alterhuman? Go wild. Live your dream.

Of course, there's also the QOTM Roundtable to look forward to. This month, it's on Friday 4th at 8pm EST. See that in your local time here and then join the server so you can participate! The change in time from 5pm EST previously was well received, so 8pm is now the time you can expect all future roundtables to be at.

And just like last time, at the end of the month, we'll round up our favourite thoughts and show them off here. If your answer is particularly thoughtful, entertaining, or inspiring, that could be you!

We're looking forward to seeing what you've got to show us this month!

If you already have an idea for next month's question, let us hear it!
