Well, anyway, I’ve manually written an entry on DW to link to from here.
This is me on Dreamwidth, and it links to my Livejournal there.
I signed up for DW in 07 when everyone else did– or shortly thereafter– and I just used the same handle I had on LJ, and in a hilarious moment of Tumblr-ness I literally just saw a post last week on Tumblr about how racist the phrase “dragonlady” is to Asians, so I’m going to shuffle my feet and look down and say I signed up for LJ in ‘01 with a handle I’d come up with as a teenager and it’s a reference to a character in a fantasy novel I wrote when I was twelve and I had basically never seen a movie so I actually had no idea there was a racist trope of scary Asian ladies?
Anyway. It’s, that’s a thing. I’ve never successfully figured out how to use DW, and I’m about a thousand percent sure I’m doing it wrong because there’s literally no one on my reading page there, and surely *someone* would have updated. But if you subscribe to me I will attempt to subscribe back. And I would love to continue longer discussions over there. I miss having a conversation, I’m so lonely here, and now I can’t even comment on posts, or get comments, and I’m too self-conscious to send Asks and I don’t like to reblog.
You can also say hi on LJ if that’s a site you use, it’s linked to from there, I sort of check both intermittently. I don’t know, I just don’t, I’m awful at technology but I’m just so lonely. I spent my young adulthood in Livejournal’s heyday and I’ve never recovered from its loss.
