Theveral Things for Thursday
Sep. 2nd, 2010 08:14 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bironicThings That I Have:
- 600 words of a kink meme fic
- A reinforced understanding that I need to learn more than two kinds of story pacing
- Five pieces of art on the way from allposters.com to spruce up this bare-walled apartment
- Two dressers acquired from fellow building residents, neither of which is quite the right size
- Five new work shirts (double my previous total), a skirt and a black dress
- A much-needed haircut
- A weeping bank account
- Pictures from vacation to share
- A weird spate of dehydration
- A Vividcon post to write
- Farscape to catch up on before tomorrow's semi-monthly fangirl sci fi Friday
- New knowledge that Philip Glass is giving a talk next Thursday (Rosh Hashanah). Debating going.
- Thoughts about cross-posting and illusions of privacy. Namely, this: LiveJournal has just made it easier for people to repost content on other social media sites, but it has not made it possible. It was already possible. I try to trust people not to make my private content public, either manually or with a checkbox option; but from the day I started this journal, I've accepted that anything I put online, locked or not, is a risk. What concerns me is the vastly increased likelihood that someone who has linked their Twitter or Facebook account to their LJ will accidentally cross-post something they say to me in a locked post that has potentially identifying information in it. I have worked hard to keep my fannish identity and RL identity separate. If LJ or a rogue programmer doesn't create an option for users to disallow visitors from using the cross-posting option in the users' locked posts, I may be looking at the impetus that finally bumps me over to Dreamwidth. I've said since Dreamwidth launched that it would take either a stupendously dumb decision on LJ's part or a critical mass of friend-shifting to get me to move. Well, the mass is shifting toward critical. I just don't know yet if that platform will be as comfortable for me as this one, or if I will lose people in the migration; and I just paid for another year of LJ service.
