7:42pm: [Sticky] Hello! ...ello! ...llo!

I haven’d updated LiveJournal regularly in a long while - it mostly serves as a repository of an older me and daily tweet feeds I haven’t worked out yet how to turn off.

So quick question from those who used to follow me on this medium - are you still out there? Do you still use this? Very, very few of the people who I used to follow are here - and a weighty majority are cross-posting from Dreamwidth.

So the next query is - should I stick with LiveJournal for my personal thoughts, or move on with every other bugger to Dreamwidth or Blogger? Maybe my need to share Personal Stuff so broadly has gone with the person I used to be (or is buried under the louder blather of the Poetry Persona)...

Wed, 13:41: I'm not saying to surround yourself with yes-folk and sycophants, because we know that leads to stagnation at best, but having people in your life who can say "you rock, but you could be EVEN BETTER if…" rather than people who make you feel small to make them feel big is VITAL.
Wed, 18:46: WELP! I just submitted my #DYCP Grant Application, a full 18 hours before the deadline, which for me is a new and startling development in and of itself. It's a big deal to have a) decided to do it, b) followed through, ruthlessly redirecting my Imposter Syndrome each time.

Mon, 10:44: "The test didn't work!" Actually, it did. The point of testing is to discover flaws so that you can fix them before the system is one you're reliant on in production.

Wed, 17:03: There's a particular type of gatekeeper I've finally defined properly for myself. I call them "rusty latches". They market themselves as a simple way in, but you have to butter them up before you get can anywhere. And they make a lot of noise when the winds of change rattle them.

Sat, 15:12: Firestarter followed by Pet Semetary. Then the Shining, which I had to keep renewing at the library because I couldn't finish it. Luckily coulraphobia saw to it that I didn't read That One. Come to think of it, I read a lot more, and all before the age of 18. https://t.co/EJFkR9ge76
Sat, 15:32: I'm a half-Welsh, half-Scottish, queer, disabled feminist born in the 70s, currently swept up in the cost of living crisis which stems, at least in part, from privatisation and selling off council houses. How do you THINK I feel about Margaret fucking Thatcher…?

Mon, 12:48: TFW someone whose entire Twitter presence appears to be geared to hating a minority group goes out of their way to find people to fling meaningless catchphrases and sarcasm at and that includes you. And you think: turns out I'm happy with my life choices, actually.
