Hello! From Tumblr

Hi there~! I'm Jade aka FairyGhost aka Ghost and I hail from Tumblr.

Been on there for over an embarrassing but joyous decade. I love the format and most of the culture there, but just like on any other virtual home on the internet, impermanence is a cruel mistress of our reality. I also feel compelled to say that this feels especially true during these days of a strained political (US) climate.

While setting your own custom website is a robust practice I support and deeply admire, there's obvious consistent value of connecting with others directly.

And so, we cultivate social gardens, I like to think. We sprinkle some crumbs here and there, as we continue on an endless journey to create meaningful connections and collaborations... leaving a ghastly amount of enormous digital footprints for future trippy alien anthropologists to psychically experience the dumbass shitposts we left behind.

IDK, ya feel me? I'm binging a show while I watch this. And I promise I care about what I'm writing, but my AuDHD hyperfocus is hooked and it feels like it'll cause me literal damage if I stop season 3 of Handmaid's Tale. uwu;;

Anyhoos, here's a new flower for the garden. I hope I can tend to it with patience.

[community profile] newcomers has lots of resources about how to use Dreamwidth and where to find things you'll enjoy here. Since you're coming from Tumblr, [personal profile] soc_puppet is posting tutorials for that angle. Find your Tumblr friends here.

The Follow Friday Master Post has lists of active communities by topic where you can look for some based on your interests. Many bloggers use recurring posts to pin down their key interests and maintain activity, which is also a good source of inspiration if you aren't sure what you want to post yet. The next big event will be the [community profile] sunshine_challenge in July.

Agreed. I have an author page on Weebly, but most people find me here on DW. Though recently I've seen people promoting webrings again, which is a good way to find individual websites.
