New to dreamwidth!
Mar. 22nd, 2026 10:42 ammesona posting in addmeName: Mint
Age: 22
I mostly post about: Daily life and hobby updates
My hobbies are: I enjoy Vocaloid music, Vtubers, Anime/manga, literature, birdwatching, knitting and crochet, playing rhythm games. I'm also a programmer and may bring up tech stuff occasionally. I'm learning to draw.
My fandoms are: Current hyperfixation is NBA (go Nuggets). I keep up with F1 casually. I follow paleontology and aviation news. Currently reading JJBA, Chainsaw Man, slowly watching Dark Winds. Check my About Me sticky for the full list of stuff.
I'm looking to meet people who: Are also writing personal journals and forming community. Besides that, people who write or read more structured content. Such as personal journal, hobby updates, recipes, guides, media reviews, short stories. Bonus if you're posting outside of America (I'm from Southeast Asia myself).
My posting schedule tends to be: Few times a week.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Obviously don't be bigoted, though I assume most people on this site aren't. Probably won't come up often, but I'm not a big fan of people who post inflammatory or reactionary takes.
Before adding me, you should know: I will probably be posting about experiences with mental/physical health stuff, as I am AuDHD and am working through cPTSD. It won't be my main topic, but just a heads up that some of my posts will be heavy, and they'll have a content warning if they are.

Mar. 20th, 2026 09:55 pmysabetwordsmith posting in followfridayGot any Follow Friday-related posts to share this week? Comment here with the link(s).
Here's the plan: every Friday, let's recommend some people and/or communities to follow on Dreamwidth. That's it. No complicated rules, no "pass this on to 7.328 friends or your cat will die".
Mixed Media

My partner was out for a walk given the unusually warm weather we've been having. He texted me excitedly that he thought the swan might be back. (Some of you may remember we got a weeklong visit from one last year).
Then as he came closer he realized the swan seemed unmoving and stiff...

Age: 36!
I mostly post about: whatever my brain latches onto... right now it's stranger things... billy hargrove is EVERYTHING to me...
My hobbies are: drawing, writing, making graphics, practicing spiritual abilities, learning languages. swedish is calling to me rn, lol.
My fandoms are: stranger things, joe keery, joseph quinn, dacre montgomery, fred hechinger, old-school anime/manga/doujinshi, the kray twins... real life and legend (2015) with tom hardy.
I'm looking to meet people who: understand the difference between fiction and reality. we are all adults here and the internet used to be for FUN. let's bring that back!
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: to be completely honest, if you hate billy hargrove, then do not add me. we will NOT get along. also, i am unlearning decades of religious trauma, so if you're overtly christian... we're not a good match. sorry. :(
My posting schedule tends to be: whenever i can! working a Real Job takes up a lot of my time, but i do read everything.
Before adding me, you should know: i am very gay and very trans, and will not tolerate any form of homophobia or transphobia. non-religious spiritual psychic. yes, i do feel energy and am clairaudient and clairvoyant. i ship RPF and incest and "problematic" pairings unapologetically. i believe in the old internet belief of Do Not Like, Do Not Read. absolute creative freedom forever.
The Friday Five for 20 March 2026
Mar. 19th, 2026 03:19 pmanais_pf posting in thefridayfiveThese questions were suggested by melagan.
1. What was the reason you began a Dreamwidth or LiveJournal account (or both)?
2. How many DW or LJ communities do you subscribe to?
3. Do you have a favorite community or one you check out often to see what's new?
4. How did you pick your user name?
5. If you could change your user name, would you?
The following bonus questions are brought to you by the fact that I (anais_pf) have been unable to access any page of LiveJournal for more than a week (and therefore cannot post to The Friday Five there):
6. If you have a LiveJournal, are you currently able to access it?
7. Do you have any information about why one would be unable to access LiveJournal?
Copy and paste to your own journal, then reply to this post with a link to your answers. If your journal is private or friends-only, you can post your full answers in the comments below.
If you'd like to suggest questions for a future Friday Five, then do so on DreamWidth or LiveJournal. Old sets that were used have been deleted, so we encourage you to suggest some more!
EDITED TO ADD: Today for the first time in a while, I am able to see on my computer that LiveJournal does indeed exist. However, when I try to log in, I get the message "Your IP address is temporarily banned." I will try again later. I hope someday to access LJ again. Thanks to all who tried to help!

Orchard Bees
Mar. 19th, 2026 04:02 pmbookscorpion posting in common_natureThis morning I went to check out the big insect hotel near the canal and I was just in time to catch a whole bunch of male European orchard bees who I am fairly sure had just hatched (the females will hatch a little later in the year).

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.

Spring cleaning at too high a price. TW: Death
Mar. 12th, 2026 04:23 pmsisterofbloomerjunior posting in unclutterMy mother died a few weeks ago, so amongst other duties, I'm donating some of her items - mainly clothes, though I did include a box full of books to the Epilepsy Foundation. So it's seven bags of her clothes (Four to EFMN, Three to Ridwell), one teddy bear from Valentines Day donated also in a box, and the aforementioned box.
Edit if I haven't mentioned it: We sold the Buick. :)
