YL: Re-normalize dragging authority figures in paprika
YL: And also normalize calling out your classmates’ bullshit (🙏🏼)
JE: hot (❤️)
YL: Spicy paprika 🌶️
JE: on that note, i wondered if a title theme that gets at some level of informality (eg Group Chat or Direct Message) set a tone of ‘this is out space’ that we can further elaborate more thoughtfully in an editorial statement (‼️2)
TA: I looooove Direct Message
TA: reads as DM ofc but also an assertive voice
YL: Seconded
YL: Tony is confirmed for ANE!
TA: Marya confirmed as well! (❤️)
TA: Yay seems like we are all on board. Should we get a doc going that we can send over to the GDs?
YL: I think so! It would be great to give them the weekend to think about it before our Monday meeting
JE: definitely
JE: i started a figma too if we wanna use
JE: my friend and i just got to Marseille so i’m offline for a bit
JE: i will share the figma board with hasti and priscilla too
YL: Question to ponder: should OTG still have a crossword/word search and/or comic and/or cocktail review in addition to the renewed focus on actual news?
JE: i feel like the actual news covers what might be in the crossword
YL: Cuz then we’d need to also get a crossword editor / comic artist / cocktail critic as semester positions and also block out space in the issue
JE: love the idea! that someone could do a comic, I’ve just personally never resonated with the crossword haha
JE: the lecture review definitely needs to be a constant (❤️)
YL: Maybe we skip the comic for the first issue and put out a call at launch (❤️)
JE: yeah ! i feel like figuring it out as we go makes sense
JE: or if someone pitches an interest of theirs and we feel like we have space?
YL: So instead of prescribing things like comics and cocktail reviews, at launch we make a few suggestions but also leave it open to any ideas people may have?
JE: love ! yah sounds great
TA: Incredible
TA: I can make edits/comments tn when im home from work as well!
JE: okay saved this out as a working document! i copied over our WhatsApp chat
JE: saved in the OneNote folder i shared out
JE: please add when you get a chance!
YL: Tian is onboard as undergrad ANE! (❤️2)
JE: YESSS
JE: shes the best
TA: added a couple of sentences on the next page - as a short statement that tries to capture our chat (❤️)
JE: awesome looks great i’m going to share the link with the GDs and we can continue to edit. yanbo not sure if you had a chance to review but i’ll mention that we’ll continue to edit in the coming days
