lunadelcorvo: (President is an idiot)
What a week (and it's only Wednesday!) Tantrump's got Korea rattling its own sabers in response to his threats and swagger routine, he's authorized oil drilling on the Atlantic seacoast, he (or one of his muppets, DeVos - I'll do a whole post on her, soon), overturned protections for student load borrowers, and the nation's first female Muslim judge, Sheila Abdus-Salaam, was found floating in the Hudson River Wednesday afternoon after she was reported missing.

If it were less terrifying, it might be amusing to take bets on which way Tantrump and his GOP puppet show will get us all killed first..... *sigh*

I promise I won't go all doom (or politics) all the time, but there will be political posts (hopefully mostly more analytical than ranty, but...)

...you're like that ex who always finds a new way to disappoint....

I have been trying to get back here, again, as I have before, and have actually had a little success. Right in time for the new "Service Agreement." Where to begin? There are, of course, the censorship implications. And then there is the idiocy of making me sign an agreement that LJ itself declares is non-binding, but my consent to it (required to use the site), implies agreement to the version I can't read because it's in fucking Russian? Really? THat's taking Orwellian to a whole new level....

So, despite my what? 15 year-history here, I am am trying to actually commit to the transition for Dreamwidth. This really grind my gears since my account here has been a permanent one for...oh, a decade or so, and DW will end up costing me a pretty penny that I *really* can't exactly afford right now. And, my whole getting back here has a lot to do with those of you who are still here, and there seems to be a dearth of anyone I know on DW, or at least that I can find.

MY plan is to begin using DW full-time, while still reading and commenting here. Eventually, I will probably turn off commenting and essentially set this whole thing to private. I don't know if I can *quite* bring myself to delete it, though the new Soviet Overlords may take care of that for me - I've never been subtle about my liberal views, after all.

I will keep up here, but please, look for me on DW (link below) if you too have made or are contemplating the move there. Peace, all!

Look for me on my mirror journal, LunaDelCorvo on DreamWidth. If you are on DW too, tell me at this post so I can add you there!

I got my old* Icon Community's posts straightened out, so if you're looking for icons, check it out!

I am still working on getting the tags fixed, but there aren't so many posts that it's a problem. I'm thinking I might start making icons again; I always sort of loved the amazing range of what can be done in 100 x 100 pixels....


*OK, yes, some of them are a bit dated, but really, they were quite 'au currant' when they were made!

Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.
