It occurs to me this morning that I no longer have any social media. No one I used to talk to on Tumblr is still active on Tumblr, so all I use it for now is to reblog things. As the people I follow fall for new media that I haven't seen, the feed becomes more and more incomprehensible, and I feel very isolated.

I also feel like we tried a lot of things and we found out that the old ways are better. You know? Streaming was great but then suddenly we didn't own anything, so it's good to go back to buying DVDs. 'Social media' was great but then suddenly we didn't know anyone, so it's good to go back to a platform where you can actually speak to people.

Anyway, this is me feeling like I really want my Dreamwidth again because there are things here I can't do elsewhere, like *journal* and *talk to people.*

Exciting news for today is that it snowed overnight. Only a light powdering of icing-sugar snow, but that's remarkable enough for this far south in England in these days of climate change.

What a mood. I've always p much just used my tumblr to reblog things and found some connection elsewhere, but when I'm not active in a fandom and not in a Discord server or anything like that, it really gets noticeably quiet!

That's a gorgeous photo btw, you captured the colours and that particular cold light so well!

I do think that a lot of the problem is that I'm between fandoms at the moment, which is always an alienating experience - as you say, it gets very quiet. And then most of my old fandom friends have stopped being involved with media fandom at all. I need to make some new ones :)

Thank you so much! My phone died over Christmas, and the new one has a much better camera. I've been amazed at the difference.
