(no subject)

AGE: mid-30s
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: All the crafts (knit, crochet, needle felt, spinning, woodcarving, woodburning, cosplay--especially prop building, drawing.) Podcasts, particularly bad movie and true crime. Fandom stuff (Star Wars, Marvel, Critical Role, Dragon Age, Overwatch.) Writing.
LOOKING FOR: I just like to have a sense of community.
ANYTHING ELSE?: I don't anticipate being a very active poster but if you want someone to just hang out and talk with and show stuff to and be like "Isn't this thing cool?" or "doesn't this thing suck?" I'm good for that. I'm a bi cis woman and married, and we have two cats who I like to show off in my twitter and tumblr posts. I do voice stuff. Also right now I have a pretty cool mohawk.
ALSO KNOWN AS: sithwitch on Twitter, sithwitch13 on Tumblr.

It sounds like we have some things in common. I love crafts, and I enjoy speculative fiction. You might like the community-oriented posts on my blog, currently running Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Some years ago, a linguist friend pointed out the damage done to society by moving people around so much that few folks now have the network of relatives, neighbors, coworkers, church congregation, club friends, etc. that used to surround most people with a social support network. One of the negative effects was that a lot of folks no longer had people to share the ups and downs of life with. So I made Good News and Hard Things, because online friends can help fill the gaps if we use the tools in the right way. Cuddle Party came along later, and as it got more popular, I put it in the regular rotation.

For anyone seeking community online, these are ways of promoting that. Some other folks have come up with their own ideas. If you look around Dreamwidth, you should be able to find things you like.

Most of the current social networks don't really support my preferred form of interaction. Sure, I like pictures -- for scrolling through while another page loads. For community, I need a venue that supports lengthy discussions. Fortunately, Dreamwidth lends itself well to developing close friends and communities. I hope you like it.
