Name: Jack/Jackdaw
Age:44
I mostly post about: writing, life, parenting, school, work, sometimes politics, sometimes other hobbies
My hobbies are: writing, drawing, web stuff, reading, misc fiber arts
My fandoms are: at the moment, Fourth Wing with a side of the Untamed and All For the Game
I'm looking to meet people who: do interesting things, share interesting facts, recommend interesting books, etc... mostly I'm just looking to add some people to my friends page.
My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic. sometimes it can be multiple times a week, and sometimes I will absolutely forget dreamwidth exists.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: life is too short to deal with people who just want to argue with me. I'm trans and neurodivergent and pagan and a parent and if any of those would bother you, well, now you know.
Before adding me, you should know: two unrelated but occasionally controversial things: we're a plural system and we still mask in crowded public spaces. Neither comes up often on the blog but both have turned out to be dealbreakers for other people before.
Age: 46
I mostly post about: I mostly write to make myself real. And to stun people with my wordery. To give consolation. (or wound) And to figure it out.... Been journaling a long time so there are shifts in topic climate but generally it's a lot of poetry and poeticity on sex and angst with smatterings of perimenopause, breastlessness, and feminism, interpersonal relationships... what to do with my life?! existential and metaphysical drama.... I don't shy away from much-- I come to confess. There will be adult content. There may be mathematics, politics, pain, complaints and exhortations, poems and poems and poems and lots of complaining that it hasn't rained. (In general though, my posts are usually much more readable than this is.)
My hobbies are: This. This is my hobby. Outside of work, which is a whole thing, this. I write. I try to make myself submit poems to stuff. I read books, I waste untold hours on fb, I'm learning to sext, I practice yoga, I over analyze things and am pretentious and arrogant except when I'm in joyful denial or drowning in insecurity. In short, I tell the truth about myself -brutally- but I'm not a very reliable narrator.... what was the question again?
My fandoms are: I don't fandom here. But I lived very happily in Man From UNCLE fandom for most of a decade. It saved my life. Sometimes I'll still do an erotic little fandom vignette but fandom's not why I'm here.
I'm looking to meet people who: write similar, or completely different, kinds of things. Mostly I'm looking for my early aughts LJ experience back. I want people who write with emotion and who will read and comment on my posts as I will read and comment on theirs. If you're not going to read your friends page then I don't want you on mine.
My posting schedule tends to be: In 2025 it's been pretty every-day-ish. (at least weekly, usually more) Which pleases me and I hope it will last. I am not *as* punctual with my friends page and comments but I always catch up-- weekly give-or-take.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: stalking. violating my privacy or anonymity. I'm not opposed in principle to friends of different belief systems to mine but of course, we all have limits, and I'm not going to censor my own posts to avoid those kinds of things. Content wise, if you post something I can't abide, I'll unfriend. But I don't like my echo-chamber to be too constrictive.
Age: In my 40s.
I mostly post about: I mostly post about life, work, going to school, my writing, concerts, music, the sims, graphics, and book reviews.
My hobbies are:reading, writing, the sims, hiking, concerts, hanging with family and friends
My fandoms are: I am not in any fandoms. I used to be in LOST. I am more into music which is Jamie Cullum, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Britney Spears, Fall Out Boy and a lot more.
I'm looking to meet people who: Those with similar interest
My posting schedule tends to be: I don't have a schedule.
When I add people, my deal breakers are: People who aren't nice to others, racists, fascist, bigots
Before adding me, you should know:I do not add minors.
I'm idly trying to do an Inbox Zero type of thing, which is rough after something like two decades of ignoring it. But as terrible as it email is, it is at least reliable, with the ability to build one's own algorithms in even the most hostile of programs. It'll work, if I can work it.
So many of the writers who could have been bloggers are turning to email-list congregators as their post-Twitter platform. Much of it is for ease of use, but I've seen at least one person turn to a no-cost Patreon subscription primarily as a way to prevent AI scrapers from finding their writing.
I'm willing to consider an RSS reader, I guess, but every time I look into it, I still see other people looking for something that'll do what they want. And in my heart, I know that this is something that can probably help me greatly at this point. My inbox is a locus for attention that I do believe I can master, and I want my attention to be my own.
Age: early 40s
I mostly post about: As my journal title says, "to spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways," (from T.S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, one of my favorite poems). I've been keeping a fairly regular chronicle of my life since the early days of the internet. I had paper journals before then, but then I found MyDearDiary, and Diaryland, and then . . . Livejournal. I was there for the latter's heyday and after; I only recently stopped cross-posting there about a year ago. So, not new to this journaling thing, although some of the more experimental ways I've written have fallen by the wayside in favor of a more regular narrative flow. So, yes, mostly daily life stuff, with a sprinkling of pictures and questionnaires here and there.
My hobbies are: Reading is my main one, although to me it's more like breathing than a hobby. I enjoy cooking and baking. I want to get back into writing, but general life and medical issues have kind of put a damper on this for now. I want to learn to use my camera better. I like video games, mainly of the platformer or puzzle variety; or something cozy (I'm really enjoying the Zero Escape games right now, and pondering purchasing Tiny Bookshop).
My fandoms are: I'm not really a fandom person. I like a lot of things, but I don't think they quite rise to the level of fandom.
I'm looking to meet people who: post about their daily lives, what they are thinking about, what they like to do in their free time. I'm not on much social media anymore, so this is it. And I always did prefer the longer types of posting, hearkening back to the "slower internet," if you will, where we didn't have to think in a pithy 140 characters or what-have-you.
My posting schedule tends to be: I was trying to stick to daily, but I don't always make it there. I do try to post at least once weekly.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: The standard -isms and -phobias are not welcome; nor are folks who are pro-MAGA (and claim they're not -ist and -phobic). Yes, there are differences of opinion, but those are things like pizza toppings and which is the best ice cream flavor, not things that will get people killed.
Before adding me, you should know: I try to comment when possible, but I always read. Same goes for you; you don't have to comment on everything, but please feel free to say something if an entry speaks to you or you want to start a conversation. Once I add you, I have a longer introduction post behind a friends-lock if you want to know more about me - I know it's hard to jump in the middle of someone's life who's been at this for awhile :-)
