Hello! I'm sorry for being scatty again.

I had some interesting news the other day. I got a phone call from the DWP. They wanted to confirm my bank details. It seems that they have decided not to take me to the second tier tribunal! I still don't know when they are going to start paying me again all they said was that I would get a letter through

I'm so happy for you dear! *hugsssssss*

Hurray! I'm not surprised you started crying, I'm sure it will take a while to process all the stress and relief! Yay and I hope things keep getting better : )

Good for you!

On a completely different note: You've probably heard about all the new TOS discussion and how likely it is that fanfic communities are mass deleted (I hope they won't!) Anyway, are you planning to back up this comm? I'd be heartbroken if it disappeared and I really hope we're all just overreacting.

TOS discussion? Who? Are you talking about LJ communities? What mass deleting? 😕

[cleotine]

I'll send you a few links in a bit. Or are you a member of SF ? They have a really nice post with good comments that explain important discussion points.

As promised some links about LJ's new TOS they introduced last Tuesday:
You can read the LJ news post here, and the new TOS here.

Many people are concerned about security, Russian laws and more. Since Russian laws are pretty homophobic, e.g. fanfics could be targeted and deleted (but no one knows anything yet). Many are also concerned because Freedom of Speech has a completely different value in the US than in Russia (but to be honest, I have a weibo account and it's hard to be stricter than China regarding Internet Freedom etc.)
On SF there's an entry with lots of hepful info and comments: here (I think it's public...)

About the mass deletions, I'm referring to 2007 (but I didn't know about it until two days ago myself). You can find info abou that hereI'm not sure whether we're not all overreacting. Personally I think that you only might face deletion if you post something truly radical (e.g. glorifying terror or spreading radical hate). I should think that Russia has many much more pressing issues than checking every single

Oh wow that's great news!! Though I wish you could get better, right now you need that money, and deserve it, I hope it ends real soon, I'm so glad!! *bear hug*

Yeah! You deserve a break! Don't worry about the crying....stress will do that. I know. I think that show of force with your professional witnesses kept them at bay. Support is all we can give you but you've done so much for us already. Just stay happy and relax. 😊
