addmeName: Harper
Age: I was on LJ in the early 2000s if that tells you anything
I mostly post about: IRL things currently, but I might post thoughts about media I consume or happenings in the world occasionally. I don't really post fannish things often even though there are fandoms I enjoy. Most of my journal is currently public.
My hobbies are: reading, tinkering, learning languages (Spanish primarily), video games, listening to podcasts and being in nature when the weather and my body allow for it.
My fandoms are: Star Trek (TNG, DS9, VOY primarily), Baldur's Gate 3, Dungeon Crawler Carl, The Orville, The Sims and similar games (I am so excited for Paralives y'all).
I'm looking to meet people who: Post about their lives and passions. I enjoy hearing about hobbies and interests, even if they aren't my own.
My posting schedule tends to be: I strive for at least weekly, sometimes more sometimes less.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Racism, sexism, transphobia, queerphobia, fundamentalism or anything supporting the fascists.
Before adding me, you should know: I'm neurodivergent and mostly anti-AI. LLM technology has its place, but in its current form I feel it has been actively harmful for humanity and is being used as a giant grift by tech oligarchs. It is most definitely not a replacement for human created art and knowledge.

Performing some traffic maintenance today

dw_maintenanceHappy Saturday!
I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!
If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.
Happy Pi Day!

Unused image for Oscar horror post
Mar. 13th, 2026 02:15 pmneonvincentI didn't need this image in A great year for horror at the Oscars on Friday the 13th, but I like it just the same.

Mar. 12th, 2026 11:48 amzesty_pintoTwo days straight of 30 minutes on a peloton. Let's see how long I can keep a routine. I've noticed I've gotten paunchier and while I can see definition, I can also see a barrel forming, so I need to do more burn to compensate for more food. It doesn't help that Michelle has not only switched diet meds but also is using Invisaligns which give her a two hour window to eat anything. She's being religious about this because we want to avoid anymore adjustments by the time we get on that eclipse trip. Despite that, she's also obsessed with Costco trends meaning we have like a 24 pack thing of Costco donuts that are good, but I'm powering myself to eat through to prevent waste.
My left thumb feels overextended and I'm debating it's because I play too much mobile game or I slept funny or I used the grippers too much. Maybe all at once. Who knows! Biology is weird.
Work is moving along. I feel pretty good about it in general. I'm progressing so much! My boss has been pretty good about everything I've been doing and my boss's boss has been as well. ISTG having a good job environment feels so goddamn rare and I'm thankful for this job because of it. I hated feeling so invaluable/disposable everywhere else. Even got enough of a bonus to cover the last of the trip expenses! Which is awesome because knowing me I'm also going to probably have to pay more tax returns because I found out the NIH job didn't add any fucking deductions to my last paycheck meaning two months of unpaid taxes to account for. SIGH. Still, this means any gains I made last year in spite of buying expensive ass lenses will likely be retained. I also need to probably pay taxes for my bank interest which is another fun thing to think about since my 401k is probably getting destroyed thanks to *gestures wildly*
The weekends have been a bit less traveling on account of the weather but we did do some traveling. Visited Longwood Gardens during the winter, which I honestly would have liked to see more snow but was too warm to really get there. Then we went to Letchworth Village where it was full of goth teens that were looking for places to smoke or tag and they all thought I was going to narc them, lol. Found a little historic village in Clinton, NJ awhile back and we revisited it and found another Portuguese bakery that was closer to us. Michelle's parents approved of them, so that's another place for us to hit whenever we visit them.
Barely had time to even postprod my photos.
Oh, have been seeing a trickle of photos selling this month, which surprised me as well. Hopefully more to come as well, just need to get my numbers up higher. So far I have around 400, they usually say once you get to 1000 is when the payments get more consistent although I doubt this will lead to anything really lucrative. I am also aware that next month I need to change my settings because I'm getting royalties for my content that is being used to train AI models. No need for that.
Not much more to say, just a lot of work. Back to work!

Mar. 11th, 2026 12:17 pmbrainbeast posting in addmeName: You can call me whatever you want, as long as you call me 😎
Age: Old enough to know better. A former LiveJournal user from the 90s
I mostly post about: Life, random thoughts, work, observations, whatever comes to mind
My hobbies are: Reading, movies, sport (cricket, F1, hockey (real not ice), australian rules football, and a few others), science, psychology - I like a little bit of all things, realy - history to anthropology, I'm there
My fandoms are: Do dogs count?
I'm looking to meet people who: Kind people, open minded, those who enjoy learning, ahve passions in their lives
My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: racists/sexists/fundamentalist religious nuts who believe their religion is better than others, genocide apologists, ignorant people, those who don't value science and intelligence
Before adding me, you should know: I have a pretty terrible sense of humour (by terrible I mean excellent) and I'm neurodiverse
Hello!
Mar. 10th, 2026 10:26 pmoneinist posting in addmeName: Oneinist, or One (they/them)
Age: Middle aged
I mostly post about: So far I've posted general journals, a bit of poetry, and some prompts from the snowflake_challenge. I've posted in English and Japanese. I'm still figuring out what I want to post about. I have a Naruto/KKIR fandom Tumblr, but I haven't decided to what extent I'll be posting fannish content here yet. I feel like I might post thoughts on fandom? Or at least I would like to. I'll find an excuse to turn anything into a bingo board.
My hobbies are: I have too many hobbies, and I tend to cycle through them, but I also have some core ones like watching anime, reading Japanese BL manga and listening to BLCDs, cooking, baking, writing, journaling, drawing and crafting. My latest hyper-fixation is Obsidian (note organizing software), and along with it HTML and CSS. The intensity of it varies and sometimes I take breaks or have slumps from my main ones too.
My fandoms are: I'm only active in the Naruto/Boruto fandom, but I still enjoy a variety of fandoms/media. As an example, love Star Trek Voyager and Natsume Book of Friends too; I just haven't created anything for either. I grew up on 90s Sailor Moon anime, so that one holds a special place in my heart.
I'm looking to meet people who: Post about a mix of things that we both have in common and don't have in common, it doesn't have to be fandom related, and it's not a requirement to share fandoms. I enjoy reading about everyday life around the world, hobbies, thoughts and feelings. I'm hoping to build relationships slowly and steadily.
My posting schedule tends to be: I've sort of gotten into the habit of doing the justcreate check-in on Mondays, and at the same time I catch up on reading and commenting. I also post then if I'm feeling inspired. That being said, I don't want to stress myself out by trying to explicitly keep some sort of schedule.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: If you write mainly about Christianity from a practicing Christian perspective we are likely not a good match. I'm fine with more cultural or secularized aspects of Christianity like Christmas for example (I decorate extensively myself).
Before adding me, you should know: English is not my first language, and sometimes I misunderstand. I'm sure we can work it out though. I can also be a bit bad at asking questions (I process a lot through association, so my mind slips into "that reminds me of the time I..." as a way of connecting when I've read something). In all languages I write in, I struggle with missing letters and spelling. Because of that, I'm quite self-conscious about my writing, and I can only ask for a bit of patience and grace. My energy levels vary throughout the day as well as the year, and if I go from very chatty to not that chatty, it's me and not you.

Mar. 9th, 2026 04:03 pmcatchthewind posting in addmeAge: 30s
I mostly post about: Daily life - my thoughts, things I'm up to, things I've created (I'm an artist), my travels, movies I've watched, photos I've taken. The mundane and anything that grabs my interest. I try to find whimsy in everyday life, and I probably think too deeply about a lot of stuff.
My hobbies / interests are: Drawing, journaling on paper and stationery in general, reading fiction, watching movies, musical theatre, EGL fashion, playing The Sims 4 and Animal Crossing, Lego, learning languages, traveling whenever I can (usually on my own), and whatever actor I might be obsessed with at the moment.
I'm looking to meet people who: Thoughtful people who have similar interests and values. I'm looking for community and people I can connect with. I'm feeling very burnt out from social media and how loud and demanding it is with people just observing each other and nothing ever going any deeper than that. I miss feeling like I had actual friends on the internet, and learning about people's lives from all over.
My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever I feel like. Sometimes that might be daily, sometimes weekly. I try not to post any less than that.
When I add people, my deal breakers are: Bigots. People who exclusively post about fandom, fanfic, or book reviews and little else. As an artist, I'm anti-AI. And just mean, judgemental types, I don't have space for that kind of attitude in my life. Be kind or get out.
Before adding me, you should know: I have C-PTSD, hEDS, and I'm neurodivergent. I don't talk about these things much, but they exist in the background and shape much of my world.
Unused video for International Women's Day post
Mar. 8th, 2026 01:45 pmneonvincentI did not use this video in Actresses, costume designers, art directors, and casting directors at the Oscars for International Women's Day because the majority of nominees this year are men.

Mar. 6th, 2026 08:16 pmamycles posting in addmei used to be super active on livejournal, mainly in the icon community. i made a dreamwidth account as livejournal was fading, but i didn't really connect to the site and with irl changes i ended up leaving this part of the internet altogether. i've been reminiscing and have wanted to get back into "journaling", so i'm giving dreamwidth a proper go this time around.

i mostly post about: life updates and the occasional book review. i dealt with a lot of changes last year and a major loss at the end of january, so i'm navigating this new chapter (that sounds so corny) and just want to document the ups & downs as i experience them.
my posting schedule tends to be: for now, i'd say sporadic, maybe a few times a week.
my interests: reading, bookish content (new/upcoming releases, challenges, etc), horror, thanatology (see: Caitlin Doughty), arts/crafts, trying new recipes/cooking, hockey (nhl & pwhl), the sims 4, historical facts, theatre, concerts, cleaning/weekend reset videos (specific fandoms) lord of the rings, the boys, sailor moon, three days grace, prison break, jujutsu kaisen, tokyo revengers, schitts creek, supernatural, gundam seed, mcu
my dealbreakers are: aggressive or continuous political content; i'm well aware of what's happening in the world and i have no problem with people who want to discuss or vent, but i have no desire in befriending anyone who is consumed by politics (especially whatever trump is up to). anti-lgbt, conservatives/traditionalists, ableists.
before adding me, you should know: i have social anxiety; i have good days and bad days. i might come off as standoffish, but i promise i'm not. i love reading/hearing about other people's experiences and getting a glimpse into their lives. i'm just too nervous to approach them lol
