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.

I often added comments to other people's posts on Tumblr, but I think DW is the only place I've been posting my own stuff at all.
I didn't even post about my 2nd belly dance solo, although I still might. It's fresh in my mind :)
I would love to see a few compilations of your Mastodon activity on DW! I withdrew from Mastodon as well, so it's really entirely my own fault that I ebbed away from everyone.
