...for a good few hours here https://hlh-shortcuts.dreamwidth.org/7868.html



...I have missed so much on DW (again) that I have no hope of catching up. (RL taking all energy, only managing to get on Tumblr, all that stuff). Photobucket sayd fuckoff to basically any free account in the bandwidth usage sense so my DW banner is now defunct (because Photobucket link) and I haven't had the energy to look into redesigning the layout. Maybe some day.



I did sign up for HLH Shortcuts this year and I'm trying to hope I'm not going to regret it. It feels like the world is an uncertain and perilous place nowadays (though, isn't it ever?), so little bits of joy are always good.



Just sending out well-wishes and support and hopes of safe journey through the time for everyone, as much as it might help.

So, I'm glad I didn't go to see the actual movie, because this is my canon now.

Seems a pretty good analysis and breakdown of the text of the EU Copyright Directive relevant articles as the wording stands now after the final vote (and of course that means only the beginnign because there’s going to be questions how individual member states will then legislate). TL;DR - it’s probably not as bad as we feared, thankfully, but is still going to create a lot of hassle and we won’t see all the results before a few good years have passed.

Good information on how to look for communities on DW.

Signal boosting for both a handy 'enable to leave kudos on post' code and fandom migration meta.

Though I fervently hope Discord isn't going to become the main fandom hub for upcoming years - not that I mind chat, but at least with my current work and rl level I am never going to be able to keep up with it, nor does Discord lend itself easily to skimming the highlights when one has time, except in very quiet slow servers. I can barely keep up with our little fannish friendsgroup chat on Signal, and as much as I like the idea of getting know more like-minded fen, Discord is just not something my spoons will strtetch to rn. I guess Dw is going to be the main hub for me, with slowly dying Tumblr keeping it's slow fizzle on the background. AO3 I sincerely hope is going to live long and prosper. Pillowfort- we'll see. The networking/federated fandom stuff - who knows.

So, there's an useful bookmarklet for linking.

Have a very happy ending of the old and even better new year!
