Anyone still hang around these parts? LJ sent me an email and a digest of activity because someone "liked" an 11 year old post. So that's a thing here
( Read more... )
I'm still somewhat active -I've mostly been posting fanfiction rec updates (to my lj) and political stuff (to ontd_political, which is dying like this comm, which is really too bad).
I'm completing a PhD so I haven't had that much time to do other things (I should be submitting my thesis this summer).
I post the occasional comment to my comm too -I honestly don't understand why Facebook etc are so popular when people aren't anonymous on there. I mean, it seems to me that's a big advantage given that employers actually like not hiring people and such based on their political opinions.
I'm a socialist myself. Unfortunately the only leftist party in my province has zero chance of forming a government and the rest are really right wing. Because of the separation issue (i.e. I live in Quebec, Canada) which has overshadowed the left-right political spectrum, this province has become a cesspool, politically speaking. (We have three right-wing parties and the small/tiny left wing party I mentioned. We're going to have a right/far-right party in power most likely after the elections this year.) It's also become a festival of racism over here. Like you, I don't understand why basic human economic rights are so hard to grasp for so many -it isn't asking for the moon, it is just asking people to do/pay their fair share.
I watch less TV than I used to, honestly. I was looking forward to the recent Star Wars films when I first heard they were being made, then I was massively disappointed. Ugh. I enjoyed Black Panther and some Marvel films, though.
