"I'm feeling my inertia / Inertia / Inertia"

my dad got a printer recently so i was able to scan these pages! this magazine included a 9 page choose your own adventure story. i’m not sure how many people have actually seen this comic, but it’s pretty cute and interesting to see the movie in such a style… i love it :’)

Listen, here's the thing: Dreamwidth is not slick. It is not fancy. Its base code was originally put together some two decades ago or more, and it looks like it. It can't do much with images and definitely not with video—like, I think there's some way to embed video, but I have no idea how to do it, and hosting it on Dreamwidth is, uh...

The point is! Dreamwidth is a lot different from Tumblr. It's closer to Tumblr than it is to Facebook or Instagram, but it's a lot more old-school internet than Tumblr is. And that means that, for anyone who wasn't on the internet some ten, fifteen years ago, there's probably going to be a steep learning curve. It can take more effort to post things there, and more effort to find your people, its image hosting capacity can charitably be described as both "limited" and "poorly organized", and overall it may still never be the kind of website where you, personally, will want to spend a lot of time or do a lot of things. Dreamwidth does not and will never have an app, for pretty much the same reasons as AO3.

While we're on the topic, Proboards is still around, and still free, and still customisable, and still WORKS. Neocities has replaced geocities and is also pretty great (and you can host things from there too if you want).

Have you considered that this is how your presence feels?
