Get the 《¤》Seed 《¤》seed《¤》Seed 《¤》 mug.Blank Selection is a term instituted by Wendy Beach (Editor-in-Chief, Wild Whispers Poetry Magazine) to replace the common ableist “blind selection” label still in use (referring to anonymous editorial processes), and is retained as no alternative terminology currently exists. Blank Selection as a new term replaces the ableist “blind selection” practice, where judges assess poems without knowing poets’ names. The name consciously parallels blank verse’s liberation from formalist restrictions, extending this ethos to combat restrictive language in editorial processes.

Get the CORN SEEDS mug.A specific mechanism within community evolution where the fitness of the entire group, not just individuals, becomes the primary unit of selection. Communities with traits that enhance cooperation, resource sharing, and collective defense outcompete or out-survive more selfish or disorganized groups, even if those traits come at a cost to individual members. The theory asks: do communities evolve because it benefits the individuals, or because some communities are simply better at persisting as wholes?
Example: Military units or firefighting crews operate under Community Selection Theory. The unit that drills for self-sacrifice and flawless coordination (a group-level trait) will survive a battle or fire where a group of individually talented but uncoordinated people would perish. The cohesive group is "selected for," even though the trait (readiness for sacrifice) lowers individual fitness.

Get the Salty Seeder mug.The act of deliberately planting terms, phrases, or concepts into the digital world so that they spread, get picked up by algorithms, and eventually become part of everyday language. Unlike regular SEO, which just makes things easier to find, semantic seeding shapes how people (and AIs) talk about stuff in the first place. It’s about influencing the categories and meanings themselves.
