Halloween, JR:PLR, hell yeah DW deserves my support

[amanuensis1]

Happy Halloween, everybody! I saw some folks in the Northeast U.S. checked in today to say they were okay, and I'm glad. Though it still sounds like there's a lot of power outages and cleanup to be had among you. I hope it goes quickly. *hugs*

In JR: PLR news, Jeremy Renner will be hosting Saturday Night Live on November 17. As one tumblr user has put it, "I'M NOT CRYING IT'S JUST VIOLENTLY RAINING ON MY FACE. LEAVE ME HERE TO DIE."



Without trying to make drama over it, I look at the further changes that appear to be coming to Livejournal and have decided it's time for me to a) give some money to Dreamwidth, b) import my LJ to DW, c) gussy up my DW, and d) start crossposting. I'll stay around LJ as long as it's tolerable, but, yeah. It's time for these measures.

Dear, I haven't been online much the last couple of months (well, not as much as I used to be) and I have heard that there were changes coming to LJ but I am not sure what they are. Can you link me to a quick summary? Because I have no idea what you're referring to, alas.

I'm almost considering trying to get a ticket.

Mind you, that would mean all day standing outside in line with little chance of getting in, so...yeah. But it's a nice thought! :)

The changes at LJ are annoying. I like tumblr, but it is for tumblr. LJ and tumblr are very different entities, and I am at LJ for what it is and tumblr for a totally different experience (and AO3 for something else again).

Renner!

Same name on DW, yes? I think we are in each other's circles. I think this is the final straw for many.

I'll be at a work-related party that evening and am totally not ashamed to know I'll be the one asking, "So, where's your television?" the minute I step through the door!

Don't forget to let us know if/when you make the move as I would like to continue stalking you reading your posts.

Friended you at DW. I'm faery_dolmen over there.

Luckily they've backed off on everything. Everything is optional. People translating from the Russian post made a mistake. Blah blah blah. I'm growing tired of it too, but I've been here 10+ years and have a permanent account. I suppose I'll be here until LJ shuts down (though it is getting quieter and quieter on my friends list, which is sad).

ah, et tu, amanuense?

It's good to have that safety net, though. *sigh*

I really don't want to leave. I still have lots of things I read on LJ and groups and well I'm a creature of habit. Plus I want to support the online Russian platform because people need it.

But the changes are making it harder and harder. I need to back up my LJ for certain on DW.... And at least start crossposting.
But really, I'm most active on tumblr these days anywya. It's just the best of three for posting art.
