alexandra_thornSummer session is over, so I'm nominally free until after the United States Labor Day on September 3rd. In practice, there's a manuscript to write and deferred tax returns to file, and the kid is only in preschool Tuesday-Friday but still, August is my month in a way I that I haven't had a month in a while. What to do with this freedom? Maybe I can use it to start to rebuild a home for myself on the web. I'm going to try to do that here on Dreamwidth.
Resolution: each day, Tuesday-Friday, for the month of August 2018, I will produce some sort of content on Dreamwidth.
It might not all be long-form, and probably most of it won't be on my public account. Some of it might be polls. Some of it might be comments on other people's DW posts, but my goal is to produce *something* every day.
My main reasons for doing this:
1) Facebook is predatory (so is Google).
2) Facebook tends to eat tons of time while increasing my stress level.
3) I miss the way the internet felt 10 years ago.
4) I hypothesize that one reason that people who used to be very active on Livejournal don't spend much time on Dreamwidth is that there isn't much content being produced there anymore.
If you think there might be something to #4, I encourage you to join me : )
