I've had an AO3 account for...I don't know how many years, and have umpteen bookmarks. But the only way I know how to sort them is in chronological order with newest first. Is there a way to classify bookmarks by fandom, or by year, or SOMETHING. Because I have hundreds of bookmarks, and no filing system for them.

Yes, I realize this is a stupid ( Read more... )

So, about a month ago I finished "Heartstopper" on Netflix. Was sort of noodling around the platform and stumbled across a Netflix Nordic series called "Young Royals". Season 1 came out July 2021 but I didn't watch it. Season 2 came out November 2022 but I didn't hear about it. Until I idly started watching Season 1, Episode 1 and ended up ( Read more... )

I didn't know Nichelle Nichols personally, obviously. But in the year 2009, she did something incredibly kind and generous for an LJ friend of mine. And did so in a way that her assistance couldn't be refused, nor could she receive thanks for it. This friend is someone I've lost touch with over the past few years, as LJ folks scattered to the four ( Read more... )

I am so toweringly angry, speaking as a person who would not be alive today if not for good psychiatric care, at the grossly-unethical, criminal actions of Dr Richard Yensen and Dr Donna Dryer against a vulnerable patient in their care. There's a CBC News article about the case (short version, the bastards are unlikely to do time ( Read more... )

I'd like to preface this post by saying that I think it's great Ukrainian refugees are being welcomed. I don't want them to be treated worse than they are right now. I don't want to level down the treatment Ukrainian refugees are getting, I want to level up the treatment ALL refugees are getting ( Read more... )

If you want to save your old LJ entries, now might be the time.

There's a function on LJ called Export Journal, where your entries are turned into a CSV file you can download. But you have to do it one month at a time. So I backed up everything from April 2002 to August 2011 month by month.

Tedious, but I might want those old entries again someday. ( Read more... )

Rumour has it LiveJournal will probably shut down outside of Russia soon. I’m blogging at https://raincitygirl.dreamwidth.org. And can be reached directly at Raincitygirl at gmail dot com.

Of course, if anybody on my f-list is IN Russia, that won’t help them. But I’m assuming they ( Read more... )

Interesting article talking about how the Kremlin has a stranglehold on TV and newspapers, all of which are 21st century versions of Pravda. And also has a stranglehold on social media within Russia, so access to for ordinary Russians to fact-checking the narrative their government is spoon-feeding them is extremely limited. I know there have been ( Read more... )

I'm going to try and post again on a semi-regular basis, because dammit, I used to love my LJ/DW interactions. Part of the problem is that I spend so much internet time on my phone now, and as far as I know, Dreamwidth doesn't have a mobile app. Livejournal does, but it's extremely poorly-designed ( Read more... )
