Show us why you're crafty.
Trust me - I am NOT crafty. I cannot make things at all. I have tried, but the only thing I ever made that looked OK, and still works, is a pencil box I made at school.
Crafty I ain't!
Show us your favorite winter-inspired craft.
It's the middle of summer! Ask me again when winter comes around.
Show us what inspires you to create.
Show us your biggest dream.
Still, it remains one of my biggest dreams.
Show us a winter photograph.
You have got to be joking! I am just not getting through to the powers that be at Vox. Do they realise how offensive it is to exclude the half of the world that is in summer now? What will it take to have them ask inclusive questions. Would it have been so difficult to ask: "Show us a seasonal photograph"?
Just click here to see how long I have been campaigning for equality on Vox.
I posted the following before to absolutely no avail:
Show us your favorite way to stay warm on a cold autumn day.
Submitted by Ross.
This may be surprising to many people, but the world is shaped like a ball. I know, this is shocking. You thought it was shaped like a huge snowdome, didn't you?
Well, the bottom half few people have heard about is called the "southern hemisphere". The strange thing about the southern hemisphere is that it is the opposite of the part that everyone knows about (that part is called the "northern hemisphere").
Now, there is actually a clue in the names. North is the opposite of south, yes? So perhaps you might think there are other things about the two parts that are opposite. And you'd be right!
When it is autumn in the north, it is spring in the south. And when it is winter in the north, it is summer in the south. So when people in the north are having their summer vacation, people in the southern hemisphere are still working through the winter.
What? You mean there are people in this forgotten southern hemisphere?
Yes! Believe it or not, we now know that the southern hemisphere is not just a bunch of sea monsters and three headed cyclopses. There are actually some people down here. And we people down here are getting fed up with the fact that a huge number of Vox Hunts and Questions of the Day focus exclusively on the northern hemisphere and forget the south entirely.
Which brings me to reply to this particular Vox Hunt:
Why on earth would I want to think about how to keep warm on such a blisteringly hot spring day?
If you really wanted to be inclusive, and make us in the south also feel like we meant something on Vox, you'd have asked: "Show us your favourite way to stay warm on a cold autumn day, or your favourite way to cool down on a hot spring day."
Vox apartheid strikes again.

The message I get is that Vox does not care about anyone outside of the United States. Is there any reason I should not take my blog to blogger or any of the other blogging services?
Show us your favorite winter activity.
I will if you ask me again in winter. Right now it is a sweltering summer day.
Come on Vox, how about some consideration for those who are not in the northern hemisphere. Do you want me to beg on my knees?
Show us your dream winter escape.
Ask me again in June or July when it's winter, and I'll show you.
Show us what inspires you to write.
