Sigh. The "serious/geekchic/political folks don't use LJ" meme strikes again. Not that I'm sighing from especially sturdy ground, because A) I haven't explored the advantages of blogspot; I came straight to LJ because I have a bunch of RL friends here, and B) I never aspired to seriousness. But I like having seriousness on my flist. I've got a nice coffeehouse mix: mundanities about cats and bats and thesis proposals, fannish rant and squee and silliness and that endless astonishing joy and creative compulsion kick-started by mutually adored books and t.v., and then the people like you, and ginmar, and joan.
I was the one who pestered joan to paste her messageboard rants into an LJ. I knew fannish people would recognize her and read, and tell a few of their fannish friends to read. Yes, personally, I syndicate dkos and co., too, but it's cool when worlds collide. I'm so interested in politics partly because several much-admired fannish acquaintances are interested.
You must choose the environment most agreeable to you (though it must be said that environment is partially a matter of perception and consent; see LJ friending, politics of), but I will miss you here in soup pot land.
Sigh, not exactly what I would prefer, eitheranglachel1October 16 2004, 18:00:10 UTC
I'm not leaving for Blogger because I think politics can't be covered in LJ land - look at Joan and ginmar for clear refutations - but rather because the latest round of fandom psychopathic acting out has just done it for me. I need some respite from the junior high school atmosphere. As I said in an earlier reply, I'm going to try to RSS the new blog so you can pull it in. Not the same, I know, but best for my peace of mind.
