I don't even understand why this is an issue, but--

I filter my posts. I am very upfront about this. If we're new friends, or casual acquaintances, you won't be seeing my personal posts. Virtually all of my flocked content is also filtered in some fashion, but if you think you're missing out on some juicy, fandom gossip? You're not. Ask anyone who's known me a for a few years - flocked content is 99% me whining about my RL problems. Once upon a time all of my content was public, but trolling and speculation on my personal life drove me to lock that stuff down. You are not being excluded/judged/whatever, and if we get close, you'll have the chance to be bombarded by my incessant whining, you lucky dog.

And if you still don't believe me, my primary filters are: personal, whining, trust (people who know my phone number and address), WIP and beta. Seriously. You are not missing out.


Oh, and one last thing, if you'd like to filter me out of certain posts, or from your reading list altogether? Go for it. Your journal, your rules.

this is a post about bullying

Trigger warning for survivors of abuse and bullying!



Currently flocked - unfiltered - because I don't know if this post is useful, or if it's 'finished'. Please to be letting me know what you think, oh great and powerful flist. The flist has pronounced this fit to post, so I'm unlocking it.

I've been wanting to post this for a long time. It's been sitting half finished in my gdocs for months. Some recent RL conversations about bullying gave me the impetus to get it done and posted, but it's very much about bullying in general, and yes, online bullying.

updating the SD/NSD resource page

We're updating the Scans Daily / No Scans Daily resource page and I need your help!

I'm looking for good 101 level articles and posts on: tone, engagement strategies, being an ally, accessibility. And just general - but excellent - 101 level anti-oppression articles (racism, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, kyriarchy etc). Really well written, beginner stuff either in the LJ/DW community, or outside of it.
