The past week of either not being able to load LJ at all, or being unable to post/comment on LJ to the handful of entries that were getting through, was wretched. It made me angry and sad. Then when other events during the week made me angry and sad, I had no way to talk about them short of ruining a couple meals with Mike talking his ear off about it all.

It made me think hard about how much of my social life and my support comes from this space. It's frankly pretty depressing, especially as problems with Russian politics and DDOS attacks will continue to drive people away from here. The LJ Diaspora makes it almost impossible for one to follow everyone - some people retreat to Dreamwidth (I loathe that name and continue to think it was such a terrible choice) and some to Google Plus and some to blogs elsewhere and how can we even find each other in the shifting masks of the internet ball?

June was lovely. This July has been terrible.

You know, I never really thought about how the Dreamwidth named was what really bugged me. I always miss LJ when it's gone. I've just come to terms with being here to the bitter end, even as I manage to find small hideaways of lj ex-pats here and there.

Bitter enders unite!

I know I "should" love Dreamwidth, but...I don't, and it's never felt like a blogging home (and, yeah, I never got the name). I just deleted my G+ account because their policies are already pissing me off, so, here I am, along with Twitter, for the interim.

Yeah. I've always felt some reluctance to embrace DW even though it is supposed to be the fandom paradise or something. I suppose I'm just a heel dragger.

I keep debating whether its' time to finally make the move off planet LJ, but I really like hte overall set-up of this site. It just has been so irregular lately that it's frustrating.

Yeah the DDOS attacks on the Russians are rough on the site structure.

I hope people don't leave. I would be really sad without LJ.

Me too, me too. It's my home!

I haven't posted in MONTHS and I was going to the other day, which of course was the day that I couldn't. I feel disconnected, from the Internet and real life. Even my real life mail seems to be going astray, as if I'm not really here.

It is all working again, so you must post. Pooooooooooooooost and connect with the world.
