You might want to look at this if you ever had/have a LiveJournal account.

Thank you, kaffy_r, for pointing this manifesto out.

How long was it between the anti-corruption protests that swept all those Russian cities and the announcement-by-ambush of the LJ ToS changes? And isn't Alexei Navalny an LJ user himself?

Just did some culling of feeds and deactivated friendlisters' accounts from my LJ friendlist. Seemed like the thing to do tonight. Slowly migrating a few more things over to Dreamwidth.

(And yes, still the same username at Dreamwidth as at LJ. I was surprised to find the username available, honestly. Glad, but surprised.)

Sometimes I use that to look around wider swathes of Livejournal. Just saying. 

Seems as if it'll work if I add an image to an entry...like so with my idea for a SHIELD flag here:

But it doesn't work if I try to upload directly to a scrapbook directory anymore.

Thoughts?

I've noticed over this weekend that LJ has developed a tic. Or a habit. Not sure what the right word for it is, but here it is: after a certain - variable - amount of "inactive" time, LJ will kick you out and you have to log back in again. This was not always the case, and the practice as presently coded into the website is an annoyance to me.

The suspicion exists that I am not alone in either the experience or the annoyance.

Anyone else?

Something that jkahane wrote tonight triggered a look-see at my records here. It seems that this coming October will mark my tenth anniversary as a Livejournal user.

Wondering how best to mark the occasion...

Is there no such method allowed/available?

...specifically mystic_savage adding me to their friendlist. Thank you for this, and welcome.
