jenettYikes! I had a sufficiently complex morning that I completely forgot about posting. Sorry!
Topic of the week
I've been seeing a number of discussions around Dreamwidth about different ways people use social media, different customs (and how sometimes those are formed as ways to deal with a particular site's features or bugs.)
How do you use your Dreamwidth account? Has that changed over time? What's important to you? What do you not care so much about? And while we're at it, do you have a favourite feature you don't think enough people know about?
Not interested in that? As always, whatever other topics people want to talk about very welcome. Start a thread, see who joins in.
What I've been up to
Moving is exhausting! I got most of my kitchen unpacked last weekend, then fell over in a pit of exhaustion other than more or less keeping my head above water at work.

Comments are welcome whenever you get a chance - even if that's hours or days later. Feel free to jump into whatever sub-threads intrigue you. More discussion is the point of the salon posts!
Got a question you're trying to sort out, or a thing you'd like to discuss? Lots of thoughtful interesting people with a wide range of interests show up here! Feel free to ask about things you're thinking about or trying to solve, as well as other kinds of chat.
House rules:
This is a public post, feel free to encourage other people to drop by, just note the 'if posting anonymously, include a name people can call you in responses' rule.
1) Consider this a conversation in my living room, only with a lot more seating. I reserve the right to redirect, screen, and otherwise moderate stuff, but would vastly prefer not to have to. Keeping conversations SFW is appreciated.
2) If you don't have a DW account or want to post anonymously, please include a name we can call you in this particular post. (You can say AnonymousOne or your favourite colour or whatever. Just something to help keep conversations clear.)
3) If you've got a question or concern, feel free to PM me.

Date: 2019-01-11 06:23 pm (UTC)I particularly enjoy reading about people's lives. It's very similar to what I tell my students at the end of the school year: it's not just that I enjoy reading, it's that I enjoy stories and every single person has their own and getting a glimpse of it is wonderful.
Unfortunately though, since I've had my kids, my time blogging has become more and more limited. (And let's be honest, so has my content!)
I'm trying to come back though.

Date: 2019-01-11 06:38 pm (UTC)But I love reading about people's lives, and snippets of what's going on for them, and learning how people solve stuff in their lives that's different than what I would do. (And often better!)
