wait, there's a strike? Like, really, people are striking? Against Livejournal? Tell me how that one goes, I wish I could learn the secret to quitting this place, sometimes. Bah.
I mean, I get why there's a strike, and I know all your hearts are in the right places, but I bought my permie In the 2005 account sale and haven't given LJ a penny of my money since. Danga got it all, back when I graduated from high school. End of Story and all that jazz. So instead, I wanted to talk about what's really twisting my giblets and no, it's not LJ's lack of free journals anymore.
Counter ads. You know, the kind that offer the lgbt community a 'cure' for homosexuality, and chronic illness patients 'cures' for things like autism. I don't see these ads, but I have a lot of friends who do, and it's rediculous to think that these are the people giving the new livejournal money.
In that honor, i'm going to be as gay as possible for as long as possible, and spam all your journals with porn to make them gayer, too. Consider it my own personal 'fuck you' to LJ. I may provide content, but it's going to be the kind of content that probably makes some of your new sponsors sick. Awesome. Here's a barf bag.
Also, thank you to everybody who offered condolences over Dora's death. It's still pretty hard to even say her name, think of her, or hear the song 'fergielicious' but, you know, days go by and things get better. Thank you all again. I love you guys.
el jay.
