When the 2016 dates were announced for 221B Con many people were concerned about it starting on April Fool’s Day. Last year John Oliver had his audience take a No Prank Pledge and we here at HN want to encourage you to do the same. We used his pledge as a basis for the below.

By reblogging this post you pledge the following:

“I solemnly swear that on this April Fools’ Day, I will not perpetuate a celebrity death hoax like some kind of a–hole, because that makes people sad. I will not post fake engagement or pregnancy announcements on social media. I will not hide anyone’s personal property. In fact, I will not play any practical jokes. And if I see someone planning a prank, I will say to them: ‘Hey… you’re being a dick right now. Stop being a dick. Stop being a dick. Seriously, stop being a dick.’”

Yes and Thank you!

As someone with major trust issues born of childhood trauma, April Fool’s day is a horrible holiday dedicated to eroding friendships with suspicion and hostility. 

Please be kind; you don’t know what mess your fun will kick up.
