livejournal: a wintry mix
I have no plans to filter my lj in any way, largely because I think that, like MPAA ratings and abstinence-only education, it's a stupid and pointless idea, but also it's not like I'm posting any adult content anyway . (If the occasionally voiced wish to see more boy/boy love on network television is your idea of adult content, kindly stop reading my journal.)
I do think Six Apart would love for LiveJournal to be more myspace-like in its demographic appeal, which I think is pretty dumb. I also know that if I were evaluating journaling sites now, as opposed to almost seven years ago when I first got a LiveJournal, there's no way I'd choose LiveJournal. I stick with LiveJournal because I've had it for so long and I'm sentimentally attached to it. That doesn't mean I'm not annoyed by the way the spirit of the site has changed since its takeover by corporate overlords (/use of excessive hyperbole). And honestly, for all that Six Apart would like me to believe that it's given me all kinds of crazy new features, the only two things that benefit me at all that didn't exist when I got a journal in March of 2001 are the extra loyalty userpics (which I still need to be a paid member to accumulate & use) and the tagging feature. So, whatever.
In other news, today we enjoyed our first "wintry mix" of the season. Oh, Philadelphia. You and your wintry mixes. Happily, it included a dusting of snow this morning, which was lovely.
