Hello, Dreamwidth!
And also Hello, Tumblr, since I've set things up to crosspost from one to the other. Ideally not twice, which is what happened with the test post, but sorting that out will be a problem for tomorrow if it happens again.
Tumblr's new and improved dash was enough to finally get me to up stakes and leave. There are only around a half dozen people I follow who post regularly, and it's easy enough to keep up with their journals by visiting directly. Since Tumblr seemed incapable of actually showing me all of their posts on my dash, that struck me as the safest option, too. I see the dash now manages to show more than three posts at once, and maybe it gets all of them, too, so maybe I'll dash-read occasionally, too. But I haven't really missed Tumblr since leaving.
When setting up this journal I also took the time to close out my old LJ. I considered deleting everything entirely, since it's not like I've looked at the thing in years, and who really needs fourteen-year-old-me in their life, anyhow? There are a few entries that I'm still kind of fond of, generally related to fic, so ultimately I decided to import to DW. There's no reason the whole world has to see my teenage years' most cringey Profound Thoughts, though, so they're all flocked now.
Fic posts, though! Those are something I want to make more regularly. It feels like on Tumblr I always would start one and then never end up actually following through to post. Maybe feeling like I have the space to ramble as much as I like will change that.
Meanwhile, life goes on on the other side of the screen. An entire month of punishing heat has meant little incentive to leave the apartment, even if that were a good idea to begin with. I made a berry cobbler cake on Saturday that turned out pretty well, although I should have left it in the oven for probably two or three more minutes. I've come by a Breath of the Wild obsession three years too late. And I'm taking the day off work today! Not a bad deal, except, you know, for everything else.
