Name: I go by many of them. Recently, I've been on a Lucy kick, but I also go by Maggie, Saros, and Venus, among others. And the titles. Don't forget the titles. 

 

Age: 19 (20 soon) 

I mostly post about: Daily life, media I'm engaging with. Trying to post more about my OCs/fannish stuff, but it's scary. I dearly love my OC Vesper and her partner Roan and and will talk so much about them if you ask! 

My hobbies are: Ballet (been doing it since I was a little kid and currently still doing pointe, albeit as a hobbyist), digital art, DIY fashion (alt/goth), creative writing. Huge music nerd--I'm into dark cabaret, goth, digital hardcore, industrial, among others. My favorite artist is Ada Rook of Black Dresses. 

My fandoms are: Honestly, it's been 99% Vesperoan lately. Selfshipping! I'm a huge selfshipper and that makes up a lot of the fannish stuff I do. Some of my F/Os are Double Trouble from She-Ra, Whitney the Bully from Degrees of Lewdity, Xenon from Cytus II, and Greely from Animal Jam. Neither here nor there, but Evangelion is extremely near and dear to my heart. I've also been a VOCALOID fan for 9 years now. 

I'm looking to meet people who: Post frequently so I have stuff to read on my reading page :) Being into my writing would also be a huge plus! I'm still trying to set up a comm specifically for Vesperoan. 

My posting schedule tends to be: Pretty much daily, sometimes I miss a day or post multiple times a day. 

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Sanists, transmisogynists, other bigots. Minors (please stay safe!). 

Before adding me, you should know: Lucy likes referring to herself in third person. She's into a lot of dark and explicit content. It will be placed below an 18+ screen with a warning/reason given, but still, if one is squicked out by the content detailed in her pinned post, maybe best not to follow! No minors for this reason.

and omg those cultists are so needy. They can't feed themselves, so you're constantly trying to keep them in berries and fish, and they complain about everything!

"There's no place to poop, build an outhouse!" (You're an animal, poop on the ground!)

"I want to eat a poop sandwich!" (Uh, okay, but why do I have to make it!?)

"Oh, that grass gruel made me sick!" (Get back to work!)

"I'm sick of your lies!" (Welp, time to perform another human sapient sacrifice of a, uh, willing victim!)

Seriously, who's running this cult, you or them?

Name: Sadie

Age: early 30s

I mostly post about: My life, thoughts, and things I get up to, things I draw or create, places I've been to, something cool I've bought recently, etc. I might occasionally post about media I've consumed, but I don't really post fandom content unless it's relevant to my life in some way (like I've gone to a gig). I save that stuff for Tumblr.

My hobbies are:
Drawing (I'm an illustrator and have a degree in it), journals and stationery (I love my Filofax and Hobonichi ♥), Japanese street fashion (I wear EGL a lot), musical theatre, travel (I've lived in Japan and South Korea teaching English), wandering through the woods, taking photos, digging through junk shops, playing The Sims 4 and Animal Crossing, learning languages, and building Lego.

My fandoms are:
My favourite movies right now are Conclave and the new Frankenstein. My favourite bands are My Chemical Romance, Ghost, and System of a Down. I'm also a Disney adult and unashamed of that, I've been to every park except Hong Kong and Shanghai. My favourite authors are Tove Jansson and Stephen King (I read and watch a lot of horror, but not slashers which are kinda boring tbh), and some of my favourite novels are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Watership Down, The Phantom of the Opera, and Animal Farm.

I'm looking to meet people who:
Nice people who I can actually befriend. I like to form friendships with people on my friends list, and not feel like it's a transactional "comment for comment" kind of vibe which feels disingenuous 💔 We're reading each others diaries after all.

My posting schedule tends to be:
Whenever I feel like I have something to say, but I try to aim for at least once a week. I'm trying to get back into the habit of updating regularly after I had a bad experience with someone who made me feel self-conscious about what I post, and I'm trying hard to stop overthinking it and get back to posting whatever I feel like, but sometimes it's difficult and I struggle with that 'no one cares' voice. But I also realise no one knows me if I only update once in a blue moon and never say anything about myself.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
Judgey people and the usual bigots. Also if all you post about are fandoms that we don't share, media reviews, or your kids/partner, I'm not going to have anything to say about that and will likely end up skipping over your entries. I want to get to know YOU.

Before adding me, you should know:
I don't post about it much, but I have a chronic illness and I'm disabled. It usually comes up as vague mentions of being tired/in pain/struggling etc, but that's what I'm referring to.

Every Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.

This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)

So what cool fancrafts/fanart/fics/fanvids/podfics/other kinds of fanworks have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

BTW, AI fanworks are not eligible for reccing at recthething. If you aware that a fanwork is AI-generated, please do not rec it here

Hello, I'm Selena |˶˙ᵕ˙ )ノ゙it's very nice to greet everyone again. 28, she/her, ISFP-T. My reading list has gotten a little quiet when I'm someone who likes to comment, so here I am!

My journal's 99% locked because it is my safe space, but I unprivated some of my more recent entries for now so anyone can see if they'd vibe with my posting style/subjects. I mainly post about my personal life (my husband is my closest friend and pops up a lot), whatever games I'm playing or other media I'm into, and other random thoughts or opinions.

🩷 A good sampling of my interests is on my profile, though not all my fannish interests are listed. 

🎮 I'm an avid video gamer, and my favorite game is (for a mainstream answer) Mass Effect 2, though it's very hard to choose!

📖 I also love to read anything, including literary classics and fanfiction of my favorite ships! One day I'll actually track my completed books... I enjoy learning new facts no matter how mundane or morbid, so Wikipedia and likeminded sites are a comfort. My favorite book is Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami.

🎵 I love all kinds of music, though I mainly listen to K-pop. Since I grew up listening to Korean music, I have a fondness for 2nd gen groups though now my taste is kind of all over. My favorite group is BTS and I hope to see them again with their upcoming world tour!

I'm looking to find friends with journals similar to me, though we don't have to necessarily be into the same things. I like to read about other peoples' lives since they're typically so different from my own! I also like reading other peoples' reviews or recommendations. Sometimes there can be a lull in my own posting with how busy I can get some days, but I always come back. Dreamwidth is one of the few social medias I still use, so it's important to me. I've been regularly(ish) journaling for 2 years now.

Anyway if I seem interesting enough, I'm all up for being friends! I consider myself pretty tolerant barring seriously hateful rhetoric and emphasize with mental health struggles since I've been there (and am still here, really). Feel free to comment here or in my actual journal o/ I don't add people back unless they reach out to me first.

⚠️ Unless I'm familiar with the majority of the fandoms I don't know if I'd be able to connect with purely focused fandom journals, sorry! It should also be self-explanatory, but no minors please. Preferably 25+ since I'm old and usually have nothing in common with younger people.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Ableism, animal cruelty, animal testing, anti-semitism, arrogance, body shaming, elitism, fascism, fatphobia, homophobia, ignorance, islamophobia, racism, religious fanatism, sexism, transphobia.

Before adding me, you should know: I struggle with my mental health (ORLY?), mainly in terms of C-PTSD, BPD, EDNOS/OSFED, and severe depression, and while I try not to overdo it in terms of expressing what this means, there could be entries in this regard... I will put potentially triggering entries behind cuts, though. Also: I'll be gone from Sunday (2nd) until Saturday (8th), so it might take a bit in case you comment then to answer you or add you back. If you have any more questions/comments, please let me know.

Diverging Media Worlds

[personal profile] heron61
15 or so years ago I began hearing more about how people have increasing difficulty talking to their parents or other relatives who listened to faux news and thus inhabited increasingly divergent media universes than they did. I never had that problem – my parents (and now just my mom) are basic centrist liberals who have never watched (and would never) watch faux and enjoy the Daily Show. We didn’t always agree on politics (me being a democratic socialist), but we very much lived in the same media universe, and our facts were mostly the same.

Now I have a similar problem, because my mom watches NBC, ABC news, or CNN and reads the Washington Post, and I don’t and instead get my news from Bluesky, What the Fuck Just Happened Today? (which is awesome), Daily Kos, and similar lefty sources. Recently I discovered my mom hadn’t heart of the costumed protests (starting with frog guy) in Portland, hadn’t heard of any but the largest No Kings protests, and most concerningly had no idea who JB Pritzker (the governor of Illinois, and by far the most credible 2028 presidential candidate on our side) was or how he'd been standing up to 47, and she also hadn’t heard or seen anything about 47’s increasingly obvious mental decline (like the recent video of the Japanese PM leading him around, which reminded me astonishingly much of how my mom used to lead my dad around while he was still mobile (he died of Alzheimer’s). OTOH, she has heard of Gavin Newsom and has also heard news reports that he is (gag) the only possible Democratic candidate in 2028). That’s what you get when billionaires own all large-scale media in the US, because billionaires almost universally support authoritarians.

Since I belong to a little bitty credit union, my branch is closed tomorrow and I have to go into the city to get a replacement and, while I'm there, have them fix my name - if they remove my middle initial from my card, my last name will fit properly, easy-peasy. Or I can wait until Monday, since I'm certain I lost it in the house, but it turns out there's another protest tomorrow so I may as well go in.

Anyway, speaking of protests and politics and food banks, [personal profile] petra is offering up fanworks:

If you donate at least $25 in cash or in-kind to a food bank at any point between now and the end of the Trump Administration, and you either share a fandom of mine and want a drabble or fannish poetry, or you want original poetry, drop me a comment, and I will write for you.

So, there you go, that's a win-win for everybody.

Edit: Well! As you might expect, as soon as I posted I happened to roll my chair over my card! It's fine, chair and card are both fine. I still need to make them fix my name, but it can wait.

This is the last mending they'll take, and I'm not sure how long it'll hold. I've ordered a new pair, and on the one hand I know $100 is cheap - especially for my prescription! - but on the other hand, I didn't want to spend it. And I didn't exactly love my choice of frames, either, but they were inexpensive and fit my pupil distance, so I'll live with them.

(Though, looking on the website, it seems glow in the dark frames are an option!? I would never, sounds like a real visual annoyance, but man, so much respect for anybody who goes in that direction!)

and since we have a ton of computer mice (mouses?) already I just swapped it out. But I still was bugged by the ton of crud that I know was embedded in my old mouse, so before I tossed it I took it apart to clean the scrollwheel.

So much cat hair, much of it felted, and I'm honestly surprised the scrollwheel was functioning at all. But it was so cheaply made that putting it back together would've been a hassle and a half, so I'm glad I had the sense to just replace it rather than depending on my own repair skills!

Smart beds flipped out during the AWS outage, and so did their sleepy owners

1. Why does a bed need to be smart?
2. Why does everything have to be a subscription nowadays?
3. Why didn't they design the damn things to just be normal beds if cut off from the internet?

Seriously, you couldn't have written this 30 years ago, nobody would ever have accepted the premise! I'd say something about fools and their money, but....

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.
