Dudes. The LJ comm lizardladylove exists! For all your Victorian Silurian Lesbian needs!

I love that it took fandom, like, 30 seconds to make this. :-)

The DDOS attacks on LJ don't seem to be stopping any time soon. If you'd like to have a back-up on Dreamwidth, or if you're pondering moving here as your primary platform, I can help you out with that. I have 13 unused Dreamwidth invite codes. Would anyone like one? Or 13?

I've just disabled comments on lj crossposts. I'm really sorry to make the change, but the pingback thing managed to be the straw that broke the camel's back -- moreso, even, than the binary gender snafu, the malware scandal or Strikethrough 2007, to name a few other moments when lj royally pissed me off.

It's ironic that a move made in order to help integrate social media platforms is making me (partially) decouple the two I use most often.

I've added a link to my footer on how to use OpenID. Here's the Dreamwidth FAQ answer on what it is and how to use it, if you want another take.

Also, if you want a Dreamwidth invite code (or codes), Lord, do I have loads of 'em.

I've done some flist/circle housecleaning on both LJ and DW. You probably still have access, if you did before, but I've unsubscribed/defriended inactive journals in both places.

[Wherever possible, I just unsubscribed (DW) or moved your pages off my reading filter (LJ & DW), just in case you still want to have access to my posts.]

If you're mirroring from DW to LJ as a matter of course, you've still got friends-access to my LJ, but I'm reading you on Dreamwidth.

Which reminds me - are any of you posting on Dreamwidth under a different name that I might not know about? I much prefer reading posts on DW. I have an unpaid LiveJournal account, so it's ad city there, and I get all kinds of visual pollution about Getting Rid of Unwanted Belly Fat! every time I click over. Yech.

(I realize if I paid them money the ads would stop, but LJ's been making crappy decisions lately, and I'd prefer not to help them make more.)

I admit it, I usually gloss over concerns about ad-supported spaces. I mean, save for the new annoying YouTube trick of inserting ads on the vid screen, I can generally ignore them. Obv, since I'm on DreamWidth, I see the point and attractiveness of being ad-free... but I'm also a little 'meh' about the harm.

Or I was!

An ad for NOM showed up on someone's LJ this morning. (Not something delicious, like NOM NOM NOM -- NOM like "National Organization for Marriage," the homophobic jerks who think same-sex marriage will somehow oppress them.) telesilla has the info here.

So. I'm going to rework my spending plan to graduate to a paid DreamWidth account sooner than planned because that is not okay. It is SERIOUSLY not okay.

I'm also going to go write a strongly worded note to Googe Adsense about it. I use them for personal projects, too, but I'm going to stop if this continues.

You know, I would adore it if LJ would add two three Google RSS feed features: 1) that button that lets you move from entry to entry, 2) the ability to broadcast notable entries to the rest of your friends by hitting a "share" button, and 3) the "star" button that lets you save something to read later.

Alternatively, I would love it if I could figure out how to stream my flist to my Google RSS feed, and stop being annoyed at lj's shortcomings. Can one do that? does anyone know?

Hey guys, can anyone tell me how to change my links list, now that LJ's retooled itself for the bazillionth time?
